Abstract:

This report investigates methods to reduce fuel consumption in SAAB's prototype hybrid car. It is primarily concerned with changes in the final drive ratio (FDR) of the gearbox. Reducing the FDR lowers the engine speed, allowing the engine to run at a more efficient operating point. However, this has a negative impact on engine power and vehicle performance. It was thought that the hybrid's eXWD (electric cross wheel drive) system could make up for this loss of performance. Computer simulations showed significant improvements in fuel economy when the FDR was reduced. This was confirmed by real world tests on a chassis dynamometer, although the number of tests were too low to establish the precise fuel consumption reduction. The effects on performance were evaluated by creating a quasi static model of the drivetrain and calculating which combinations of speed and acceleration corresponded to the engine's torque limits. The loss of acceleration was found to be lower than the increase in acceleration made possible by eXWD for most choices of FDR. It is therefore possible to reduce the FDR in the hybrid version of the car and still maintain a performance advantage compared to the front wheel drive version. No other major disadvantageous effects were found. The conclusion was therefore that a reduction of the final drive ratio is a feasible method to improve the fuel economy of the prototype car, given that maximizing performance is deemed less important than increasing fuel economy.

Abstract:

Safety, performance and driving comforts are given high importance while developing modern day cars. All-Wheel Drive vehicles are exactly designed to fulfill such requirements. In modern times, human concern towards depleting fossil fuels and cognizance of ecological issues have led to new innovations in the field of Automotive engineering. One such outcome of the above process is the birth of electrical hybrid vehicles. The product under investigation is a combination of all wheel drive and hybrid system. A superior fuel economy can be achieved using hybrid system and optimized vehicle dynamic forces are accomplished by torque vectoring action which in turn provides All-Wheel Drive capabilities. Heat generation is inevitable whenever there is a conversion of energy from one form into another. In this master thesis investigation, a thermal simulation model for the product is built using 1D simulation tool AMESim and validation is done against the vehicle driving test data. AMESim tool was chosen for its proven track record related to vehicle thermal management. The vehicle CAN data are handled in MATLAB. In a nutshell, Simulation model accounts for heat generation sources, oil flow paths, power loss modeling and heat transfer phenomena. The final simulation model should be able to predict the transient temperature evolution in the rear drive when the speed and torque of motor is supplied as input. This simulation model can efficiently predict temperature patterns at various locations such as casing, motor inner parts as well as coolant at different places. Various driving cases were tried as input including harsh (high torque, low speed) ones. Simulation models like this helps Engineers in trying out new cooling strategies. Flow path optimization, flow rate, convection area, coolant pump controlling etc are the few variables worth mentioning in this regard.

Abstract:

Energy demands are steadily increasing as the world's population continues to grow. Automobiles are primary transportation means in a large portion of the world. The combination of fuel consumption by automobiles along with the shrinking fossil fuel reserves makes the development of new more energy efficient technologies crucial. Electric vehicle technologies have been studied and are still being studied today as a means of improving fuel efficiency. To that end, this work studies the effect of switching frequency on the efficiency of a hybrid electric vehicle traction drive, which contains both an internal combustion engine as well as electric motor. Therefore improving the efficiency of the electric motor and its drive will help improve the viability of alternative vehicle technologies. Automobiles spend the majority of their operational time in the lower speed, lower torque region. This work focuses on efficiency improvements in that region. To estimate the efficiency trend, the system is modeled and then tested both electrically and thermally. The efficiency is shown to increase at lower switching frequencies. The experimental results show that there are some exceptions, but the basic trend is the same.

Abstract:

The goal of the master thesis is to design, dimension and construct a power boost system for the drive trains in electric vehicles, utilizing supercapacitor technology. In order to build the system a supercapacitor bank and a converter has been constructed. The system has been designed to be used in the new Think electric vehicle, and each part of the converter has been dimensioned according to information provided by Think Technology. The master thesis is limited to the design and construction of the power boost system, and the implementation, interfacing and control of power sharing have not been dealt with. The supercapacitor bank and the converter are built based on analytical computations and simulations. The supercapacitor bank can store up to 100 Wh and is built from 90 series connected cells rated 1500 F each. The bidirectional DC DC converter is based on a standard intelligent power module with three legs in a bridge configuration and three inductors. An interleaved switching sequence is selected for the operation of the legs and each IGBT is capable of switching 150 A at 600 V. The thermal management of this module is solved with the use of a heat sink with fans for forced air flow. The inductors are made from amorphous alloys and copper foil, achieving an inductance of 0.25 mH and a maximum current rating of 100 A. Voltage smoothing capacitors and measuring devices have also been implemented in the converter design. The results presented are held to be accurate, all though measurements gathered are affected to a certain degree by noise in the system. Based on tests of the various components, it is concluded that the power boost system is an up to date system and has achieved the design goals of delivering 30 kW for 12 seconds. Some tests are yet to be completed in order to make sure that the system works in continuous operation. Further work based on this master thesis should include more extensive testing on the system, and perform an optimization of the supercapacitor bank and the inductors. The intelligence for optimized load sharing must be created, and a communication interface with the power control unit in the Think electric vehicle must be made.

Abstract:

This thesis proposes a novel algorithm to optimize multi-modal, nonlinear, black-box objective functions for electric power system design using an electromagnetic transients (EMT) simulator. The algorithm discovers multiple local optimal solutions for a given complex power system, and then generates accurate surrogate models of an objective function around each discovered local optimal solution. These surrogate models represent the local behaviour of the objective function that can be used in the subsequent stages of sensitivity analyses. Using surrogate models instead of intensive transient simulation during sensitivity analysis reduces computational intensity and simulation time. This makes the proposed algorithm particularly suited for optimization of computationally expensive black-box functions. The stages of the algorithm can be implemented independently and hence the computations can be done in parallel. Therefore, the algorithm is implemented in a parallel environment to gain significant speed-up in the design of electric power systems. Comparative studies in terms of objective function evaluation and computation time are provided. Using several multi-modal benchmark objective functions, the superiority of the proposed algorithm compared to other recently developed algorithms is demonstrated. Additionally, the application of the algorithm in the design process of complex electric power system demonstrated through several examples. The case studies show that the parallelized algorithm provides computational savings up to 39 times compared to the conventional sequential approach.

Abstract:

This project focuses on an improved methodology for embedded software development. MATLAB and Simulink allow the user to simplify control algorithm development for specific applications and load the implemented algorithms into the embedded target. MATLAB allows constructing the control algorithms and its interface to different Digital Signal Processor (DSP) modules, such as A/D or D/A conversions and ePWM, as a block scheme in Simulink library. For example, Texas Instrument (TI) Company in collaboration with MATLAB allows the user to create a link between different DSPs of the TI and MATLAB software via the Simulink environment in order to generate automatically embedded C code adopted for different embedded targets. The concepts of rapid prototyping and digital control technique in this project are realized based on using the Piccolo TMSF28035 TI C2000 MCU in conjunction with the Matlab/Simulink software based on an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) such as Code Composer Studio. Matlab/Simulink environment is used for the design, optimization, and off-line simulations of the model and power electronic circuits. The Real-Time Workshop converts the Simulink model to C or C++ programming code. Subsequently, the executable C code is automatically compiled to the assembly language for the TI C2000 MCUs, assembled, link-edited, and downloaded. For the closed-loop controller, digital PI control is implemented and the values of the PI are defined by the pole placement method. Once the control scheme is built in Simulink, by automatic code generation capability of the MATLAB, the algorithm model is loaded into the DSP and runs the generated program.

Abstract:

Thesis (PhD (Electrical and Electronic Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2011.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The multiphase induction machine drive has been under investigation for the last half century. Although it offers several attractive advantages over the conventional three-phase induction machine drive, it is restricted to highly specialised applications. One aspect of the multiphase induction machine drive is the complexity of the control algorithm for decoupled flux and torque control. The complexity, arising from the required coordinate transformations, increases with increase in the number of phases of the machine. Recently, a method that allows the control of a six-phase induction machine drive without any coordinate transformations was developed and tested. This new control technique allows the control of the machine to be similar to that of dc machines through the use of special trapezoidal-shaped stator current waveforms. These stator phase current waveforms consist of field (flux) and torque current components, with flat-topped amplitudes allowing a stator phase to act alternately in time as either a flux or a torque producing phase. The idea is to have a number of stator phases acting as flux producing phases, whilst the remaining phases act as torque producing phases at each time instance. This dissertation takes a further step in the research on this particular control technique. As the control method relates directly to the brush-dc machine operation, in this dissertation, the control method is defined as a “brush-dc equivalent” (BDCE) control method. First, in this dissertation, a simple analytical method is developed to determine a defined optimal ratio of the number of field to the number of torque phases of a multiphase induction machine that utilises trapezoidal stator current waveforms. The method is applied to induction machines with up to fifteen stator phases. Finite element analysis is used to verify the validity of the developed criterion and to verify the square-like air gap flux density. Secondly, in this dissertation, an analytical method for predicting and evaluating the rotor bar current waveform of a cage multiphase induction machine is proposed. The method is based on the Fourier transform and the winding function theory under linear condition assumptions. The method also allows for the calculation of the electromagnetic torque and rotor bar losses. Skin effect is considered in the calculation of the rotor bar resistance of the machine. Again, finite element analysis is used to verify the analytically calculated results. The developed method can be expanded and used to evaluate the rotor current waveform of any multiphase induction machine supplied with any stator current waveforms. The BDCE control method is implemented on a prototype nine-phase cage-rotor induction machine drive. A nine-phase inverter and control system are developed for supplying the nine-phase induction machine with the trapezoidal stator current waveforms. Rotor current waveform measurements are taken on a specially designed rotor to verify the analytically predicted waveform. The linear relationship of the developed torque and torque current of the proposed BDCE control method is verified through measurements. Through the comparison of analytical calculated results with finite element calculated and measured results, it is shown in this dissertation that the developed analytical techniques can be used in the design and performance analysis of multiphase induction machines. Also, from the results, it is clear that the new control technique works remarkably well even in the flux weakening region. However, outstanding aspects, such as efficiency and generated torque quality of the proposed drive still need to be investigated further.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die multifase induksiemasjien aandryfstelsel word in die laaste halwe eeu al in navorsing ondersoek. Alhoewel dit verskeie aantreklike voordele bied bo die konvensionele driefase induksiemasjien aandryfstelsel, is dit beperk tot hoogs gespesialiseerde aanwendings. Een aspek van die multifase induksiemasjien aandryfstelsel is die kompleksiteit van die beheer algoritme vir ontkoppelde vloed en draaimoment beheer. Die kompleksiteit, wat voortspruit uit die vereiste koördinaat transformasies, neem toe met toename in die aantal fases van die masjien. Onlangs is 'n metode wat die beheer van ’n sesfase induksiemasjien sonder enige koördinaat transformasies doen, ontwikkel en getoets. Hierdie nuwe beheertegniek maak die beheer van die masjien soortgelyk aan dié van GS masjiene deur die gebruik van spesiale trapezium-vormige statorstroom golfvorms. Hierdie stator fasestroom golfvorms bestaan uit veld- (vloed-) en draaimoment-stroom komponente met plat amplitudes, sodat 'n statorfase om die beurt in tyd optree as óf' ’n vloed of 'n draaimoment genereerde fase. Die idee is om 'n aantal statorfases te hê wat as vloed genereerde fases dien, terwyl die oorblywende fases as draaimoment genereerde fases optree op enige tydstip. Hierdie tesis neem 'n verdere stap in die navorsing op hierdie spesifieke beheertegniek. Met die beheermetode wat direk verband hou met borsel-GS masjien werking, word in hierdie proefskrif die beheermetode as 'n "borsel-GS ekwivalente" ["brush-DC equivalent" (BDCE)] beheermetode gedefinieer. In die eerste plek word in hierdie proefskrif 'n eenvoudige analitiese metode ontwikkel om ’n gedefinieerde optimale verhouding van die aantal veld tot die aantal draaimoment fases van 'n multifase induksiemasjien te bepaal, wat van trapesoïdale statorstroom golfvorms gebruik maak. Die metode word toegepas op induksiemasjiene met tot vyftien statorfases. Eindige element analise is gebruik om die geldigheid van die ontwikkelde kriterium te verifieer en om die vierkantvormige luggaping vloeddigtheid te verifieer. In die tweede plek word in hierdie proefskrif 'n analitiese metode vir die voorspelling en evaluering van die rotorstaafstroom golfvorm van 'n kourotor multifase induksiemasjien voorgestel. Die metode is gebaseer op die Fourier transform en die wikkelingsfunksie teorie onder lineêre-toestand aannames. Die metode wend hom ook daartoe tot die berekening van die elektromagnetiese draaimoment en rotorstaafverliese. Die huideffek word in ag geneem in die berekening van die rotorstaafweerstand van die masjien. Weereens is eindige element analise gebruik om die analitiese berekende resultate te verifieer. Die ontwikkelde metode kan uitgebrei en gebruik word om die rotorstroom golfvorm van van enige multifase induksiemasjien te evalueer wat gevoer word met enige statorstroom golfvorms. Die BDCE beheermetode is toegepas op 'n prototipe negefase kourotor induksiemasjien. 'n Negefase omsetter en beheerstelsel is ontwikkel vir die toevoer van die trapesoïdale statorstroom golfvorms aan die negefase induksiemasjien. Die rotorstroomgolfvorm metings is geneem op 'n spesiaal ontwerpte rotor om die analitiese voorspelde golfvorm te verifieer. Die lineêre verwantskap tussen die ontwikkelde draaimoment en draaimomentstroom van die voorgestelde BDCE beheermetode is geverifieer deur metings. Deur die analitiese berekende resultate met die eindige element berekende en gemete resultate te vergelyk, wys hierdie proefskrif dat die ontwikkelde analitiese tegnieke gebruik kan word in die ontwerp en werkverrigting analise van ’n multifase induksiemasjien. Vanuit die resultate is dit ook duidelik dat die nuwe beheertegniek besonder goed werk, selfs in die vloedverswakking spoedgebied. Egter, uitstaande aspekte soos effektiwiteit en genereerde draaimoment kwaliteit van die voorgestelde aandryfstelsel moet nog verder ondersoek word.

Abstract:

It is generally known that stability of vehicles under certain driving conditions may be improved by forcing the wheels to turn at the same speed and angle regardless of the available traction under individual wheels. For conventional all-terrain vehicles or sport-utility vehicles, this function can be achieved by locking the mechanical differential system. In this thesis, we propose an innovative approach for locking the electrical differential system (EDS) of electric vehicles (EV) with independent brushless DC (BLDC) machine-based wheel drives. The proposed method locks the active wheels of the vehicle as if they were operating on a common “virtual” shaft. The locking algorithm is implemented by processing the Hall sensor signals of the considered motors and driving them with a single set of “averaged” Hall signals, thereby operating the motors at the same speed and angle. A detailed switch-level model of EDS embedded with the proposed Sync-Lock Control (SLC) along with the BLDC propulsion motors has been developed and compared against measurements for the considered BLDC propulsion motors. The proposed technique is shown to achieve better results compared to a conventional speed control loop as the considered motors are locked directly through the corresponding magnetic fields. An efficient realization of the proposed controller is presented that makes it possible to be potentially programmed inside existing motor controllers or implemented in a stand-alone microcontroller which can be packaged into a dongle circuit. The proposed SLC is implemented digitally using a programmable integrated circuit microcontroller. First, the Hall signals undergo a layer of filtering to mitigate the errors that are common due to Hall sensor misalignment in low-cost BLDC motors. Then, the locking algorithm is implemented by averaging the filtered Hall sensor signals. The SLC prototype is implemented in form of a standalone dongle-circuit that can be easily placed between the original Hall-sensors and the BLDC motor driver. Operation of typical industrial BLDC motors with the proposed controller is shown to outperform conventional controllers and lock both speed and angle of the motors.

Resumo: Modelos matemáticos e computacionais precisos dos diversos componentes de um sistema de energia elétrica são importantes para estudos e simulações em um cenário de planejamento e operação da rede elétrica. Dentre os elementos de um sistema de geração, transmissão e distribuição de energia elétrica, as cargas são as que apresentam maiores dificuldades em serem adequadamente representadas. Embora esse tema de pesquisa tenha sido exaustivamente explorado, a modelagem de carga tem recebido renovada atenção do setor produtivo e da academia por uma série de fatores, dentre os quais podemos destacar a proliferação de medidores eletrônicos, o interesse por modelos de novos equipamentos e a necessidade da representação mais fiel do comportamento de diferentes cargas frente a distúrbios no sistema. Esta tese de doutoramento propõe duas contribuições na linha de pesquisa sobre modelagem de carga em sistemas de energia elétrica. A primeira delas trata-se de um método de modelagem de carga baseado em medições e na detecção de distúrbios naturais de tensão. O procedimento proposto emprega medidores eletrônicos simples, que são instalados junto a instalações em sistemas de distribuição com motivo outro que não o de modelagem de carga. A ideia principal é a de utilizar tais medidores para, paralelamente a função que desempenham, fornecer para a concessionária informações sobre modelos de carga, como um subproduto da função principal que desempenham. A segunda contribuição proposta é na linha da modelagem de carga baseada em templates, uma técnica recentemente proposta na literatura para modelagem dinâmica de cargas industriais de grande porte. Nesta tese é proposto um modelo dinâmico simplificado de motores de velocidade variável controlados via conversores eletrônicos (Variable Frequency Drives ¿ VFDs), o qual é baseado em um modelo modificado de um motor de indução. O modelo proposto é adequado ao contexto da estrutura de modelagem de cargas industriais proposta pela técnica de modelagem baseada em templates e pode ser facilmente agregado e analisado em programas de simulação por parte de usuários sem necessidades de alterações do código fonte
Abstract: Accurate mathematical and computational models from various electric power systems components are important in a scenario of power systems studies and simulations for grid planning and operation. Among the elements in the electricity generation, transmission and distribution systems, the loads are probably the most difficult ones to be accordingly represented. Though this research topic has been exhaustively explored, there is a renewed interest in industry and academia for power systems load modeling, due to several reasons, including the proliferation of smart meters, the appearance of non-conventional types of load and the continuing need for even more confident representation of different load response for system disturbances. This Ph.D. thesis proposes two contributions to power systems load modeling research field. The first one deals with a load modeling method based on measurements and the detection of natural voltage disturbances. The proposed scheme uses simple smart meters, installed close to customers with a main goal other than load modeling. The main idea is to use data provided by those meters to, in parallel to the main function performed by this device, provide to the utility information regarding load models, as a byproduct capable to add value to the investment in this meters. The second contribution is in the template based load modeling, a recently methodology proposed for dynamic modeling of large industrial facilities. In this thesis, a simplified Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) dynamic model is proposed, which one is based on a modified induction machine model. The proposed model is suitable to the dynamic load model structure proposed by the template based methodology and can be easily aggregated and analyzed in simulation software by basic users without the need of programming a complex model

Abstract:

The fuel systems fitted to the current generation of civil transport aircraft are rather complicated, due to the presence of multiple tanks, pumps, valves and complex pipeline systems. During fuel transfer between the tanks, when controlling the aircraft centre of gravity or engine feed and refuel operations, a number of pumps and valves are involved resulting in complex pressure and flow interactions. In order to minimise the pressure surges during sudden system changes and flow overshoot during fuel transfer and refuelling, different motor drive system control strategies have been investigated. It is proposed that the current control method of electrically driven centrifugal-type pumps could be replaced by improved open and closed loop strategies where the flow overshoot can be minimised and pressure surges reduced. Steady-state and dynamic models of an AC induction motor drive and typical aircraft fuel system pipework components have been developed. The validation of these models has been performed using experimental data obtained from a fuel test rig constructed at the University of Bath using water as the working fluid. The simulation results have been shown to agree well with those from experimentation. In addition, the induction motor has been modelled based on its physical properties using the Finite Element Method software MEGA. The investigated fuel system has been described in linear terms and its behaviour has been identified. It is shown that the system dynamic behaviour can be controlled/improved using well established closed loop proportional-integral control. An open loop technique of simultaneous pump and valve control has been proposed and validated using experimental results, resulting in a reduction of both the transient pressure surges and flow overshoot during sudden valve closures, showing significant performance improvements. Improved closed loop control strategies for the pump drive system have also been developed in simulation. These are based on adaptive proportional-integral-derivative and fuzzy logic control strategies.

Abstract:

Several aspects make today’s transport system non-sustainable: • Production, transport and combustion of fossil fuels lead to global and local environmental problems. • Oil dependency in the transport sector may lead to economical and political instability. • Air pollution, noise, congestion and land-use may jeopardise public health and quality of life, especially in urban areas. In a sustainable urban transport system most trips are made with public transport because high convenience and comfort makes travelling with public transport attractive. In terms of emissions, including noise, the vehicles are environmentally sustainable, locally as well as globally. Vehicles are energy-efficient and the primary energy stems from renewable sources. Costs are reasonable for all involved, from passengers, bus operators and transport authorities to vehicle manufacturers. The system is thus commercially viable on its own merits. This thesis presents the results from three projects involving different concept buses, all with different powertrains. The first two projects included technical evaluations, including tests, of two different fuel cell buses. The third project focussed on development of a series hybrid-bus with internal combustion engine intended for production around 2010. The research on the fuel cell buses included evaluations of the energy efficiency improvement potential using energy mapping and vehicle simulations. Attitudes to hydrogen fuel cell buses among passengers, bus drivers and bus operators were investigated. Safety aspects of hydrogen as a vehicle fuel were analysed and the use of hydrogen compared to electrical energy storage were also investigated. One main conclusion is that a city bus should be considered as one energy system, because auxiliaries contribute largely to the energy use. Focussing only on the powertrain is not sufficient. The importance of mitigating losses far down an energy conversion chain is emphasised. The Scania hybrid fuel cell bus showed the long-term potential of fuel cells, advanced auxiliaries and hybrid-electric powertrains, but technologies applied in that bus are not yet viable in terms of cost or robustness over the service life of a bus. Results from the EU-project CUTE show that hydrogen fuelled fuel cell buses are viable for real-life operation. Successful operation and public acceptance show that focus on robustness and cost in vehicle design were key success factors, despite the resulting poor fuel economy. Hybrid-electric powertrains are feasible in stop-and-go city operation. Fuel consumption can be reduced, comfort improved, noise lowered and the main power source downsized and operated less dynamically. The potential for design improvements due to flexible component packaging is implemented in the Scania hybrid concept bus. This bus and the framework for its hybrid management system are discussed in this thesis. The development of buses for a more sustainable urban transport should be made in small steps to secure technical and economical realism, which both are needed to guarantee commercialisation and volume of production. This is needed for alternative products to have a significant influence. Hybrid buses with internal combustion engines running on renewable fuel is tomorrow’s technology, which paves the way for plug-in hybrid, battery electric and fuel cell hybrid vehicles the day after tomorrow.

A prototype ship propulsion device based on an electric motor that spins propellers in opposite directions was constructed and tested. The device uses a single motor to spin both propellers without a gearbox. The rotor is attached to one propeller and the stator to the other. It relies on the propellers to balance rotational speeds of the two shafts. Non-intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) techniques were used to diagnose performance of the machine. This analysis confirmed a sensor failure in testing.

Abstract:

This report presents the work carried out aiming towardsdistributed control of electric drives through a networkcommunication medium with temporal constraints, i.e, Ethernet.A general analysis on time delayed systems is carried out,using state space representation of systems in the discretetime domain. The effect of input time delays is identified andis used in the preceding controller designs. The main hardwareapplication focused in this study is a Brushless DC servomotor, whose speed control loop is closed via a 10 MbpsSwitched Ethernet network. The speed control loop, which isapproximately a decade slower than the current control loop, isopened and interfaced to the network at the sensor/actuatornode. It is closed at the speed controller end at another nodein the same local area network (LAN) forming a distributedcontrol system (DCS).

The Proportional Integral (PI) classical controller designtechnique with ample changes in parameter tuning suitable fortime delayed systems is used. Then the standard Smith Predictoris tested, modified with the algebraic design techniqueCoefficient Diagram Method (CDM), which increases the systemdegrees of freedom. Constant control delay is assumed in thelatter designs despite the slight stochastic nature in thetiming data observations. Hence the poor transient performanceof the system is the price for the robustness inherited to thespeed controllers at the design stage. The controllability andobservability of the DCS may be lost, depending on the range inwhich the control delay is varying. However a state feedbackcontroller deploying on-line delay data, obtained by means ofsynchronizing the sensor node and controller node systemclocks, results in an effective compensation scheme for thenetwork induced delays. Hence the full state feedbackcontroller makes he distributed system transient performanceacceptable for servo applications with the help of poleplacement controller design.

Further, speed synchronizing controllers have been designedsuch that a speed fluctuation caused by a mechanical loadtorque disturbance on one motor is followed effectively by anyother specified motor in the distributed control network with aminimum tracking or synchronizing error. This type ofperformance is often demanded in many industrial applicationssuch as printing, paper, bagging, pick and place and materialcutting.

Abstract:

This thesis is focused on a novel agricultural technique for orchard cultivations that allows to perform automatic and fossil fuel free cultivation operations. More specifically, the aim of this thesis work is to study and implement the electric traction system and control the vehicle that performs the automatic operations. Starting from the analysis of each single component of the traction system, the control of the mobile platform will be then performed. After a first control of the mobile platform in no load conditions, the implementation of the dynamic model will be performed in the Simulink environment. Different simulations representing typical operational missions will be performed to have a real idea concerning the behaviour of the traction system and the energy consumption of this solution. Finally, the obtained results will be analysed for the future implementation of the mobile platform on the field.

Abstract:

A harmonic drive is a compact, light-weight and high-ratio torque transmission device which has almost zero backlash. Its unique performance features has captured the attention of designers in many industrial applications, especially in robotics. Despite widespread industrial application of harmonic drives, the torque control of this system has not been fully addressed. In this thesis the robust torque control of harmonic drive system is examined in detail.
In order to measure the transmitted torque of a harmonic drive and for the purpose of a torque feedback scheme, an intelligent built-in torque sensing technique is developed in this thesis. Specifically, strain-gauges are mounted directly on the flexspline and therefore no extra flexible element is introduced into the system. To have maximum sensing accuracy, four Rosette strain gauges are employed using an accurate positioning method. Kalman filter estimation is employed to cancel the torque ripples, oscillations observed on the measured torque and caused mainly by gear teeth meshing. A simple forth order harmonic oscillator proved sufficient to model these torque ripples. Moreover, the error model is extended to incorporate any misalignment torque. By on-line implementation of the Kalman filter, it is shown that this method affords a fast and accurate way to filter torque ripples and misalignment torque from torque measurements.
Based on experimental and theoretical studies, a systematic way to capture and rationalize the dynamic behavior of the harmonic drive systems is developed next in this thesis. Simple and accurate models for compliance, hysteresis, and friction are proposed, and the model parameters are estimated using least-squares approximation for linear and nonlinear regression models. A statistical measure of variation is defined, by which the reliability of the estimated parameter for different operating condition, as well as the accuracy and integrity of the proposed model is quantified. By these means, it is shown that a linear stiffness model best captures the behavior of the system when combined with a good model for hysteresis. Moreover, the frictional losses of harmonic drive are modelled at both low and high velocities. The model performance is assessed by comparing simulations with the experimental results on two different harmonic drives.
Finally, robust Hinfinity -based torque controllers are designed and implemented for harmonic drive systems under constrained- and free-motion applications. A nominal model for the system is obtained in each case from ensembles of experimental frequency response estimates of the system, while the deviation of the system from the model is encapsulated by a multiplicative uncertainty. Robust Hinfinity -based torque controllers are designed using this information, and the controllers are implemented on two different setups using the Kalman filtered torque as an integral part of the torque-feedback loop. Exceptional performance results are obtained from the tune and frequency response of the closed-loop system, especially for the constrained-motion system. The further improve the performance of the free-motion system, a model-based friction-compensation algorithm is implemented in addition to the robust torque control. It is shown that the friction-compensation shrinks the model uncertainty at low frequencies. Hence, the performance of the closed-loop system is for tracking signals with low-frequency content.

Abstract:

This research project investigates the development and validation of alternative simulation models for voltage source inverter fed permanent magnet synchronous machine drive systems which can rapidly and accurately analyse and evaluate the performance of PM machine drives and associated control system designs. Traditionally simulations have been conducted using switching models and state space average value methods. The simulation of switching models is time consuming and that of state space averaging involves complex mathematical transformation to d-q axis, with additional circuitry and this limits their application in a time critical design process. Even if the complex calculations of state space are overcome, the proposed model can still achieve better results. This thesis presents the development of fast multi system simulation models for permanent magnet synchronous motor and generator drive systems. The fast simulation model: Average Voltage Estimation Model (AVEM) was developed for two-level, three phase VSI-fed PMSM drive systems and two-level three phase full-scale back-back VSI incorporated in a PMSG wind energy conversion system. The method uses the principle of control strategy and switching function to derive the average phase voltage in one switching period and then uses the average voltages to drive piecewise-linear voltage sources across the terminals of the permanent magnet synchronous machine and three phase system. A voltage source inverter loss model was also developed and incorporated into the AVEM to simulate the drive system power flow and its performance evaluated. The average voltage estimation model is also used to estimate and simulate the energy output of the variable speed PMSG wind energy conversion system. Practical implementation of this technique is achieved using a DSP based controller and validation made through comparison of the DSP AVEM energy estimation method with calculated energy. The study also presents the development of detailed VSI switching models for a variable speed PMSM and a PMSG wind energy conversion system which serve as benchmarks for the proposed AVEM models. A detailed description of both models will be presented. Since models require a control strategy: these control strategies were also developed using the carrier-based sinusoidal (SPWM) and implemented with PI regulators. In the permanent magnet synchronous generator wind energy conversion system application, the SPWM is applied to control the speed of the generator side converter to track maximum power as wind speed varies using the developed passive MPPT control technique and controls the AC load side converter to maintained constant DC link voltage. The sinusoidal PWM control provides a simplified control suitable for the variable speed PMSM drive system and the PMSG wind energy conversion system. Lastly, this thesis presents a detailed development of an experimental test rig. The test rig is developed to provide flexibility for the validation and comparison of the results of both simulation models against real practical implementations for PMSM drive system and PMSG wind energy conversions system. Several simulation case studies were performed using the PORTUNUS simulation package to validate and analyse the steady state accuracy of the proposed average voltage estimation model and control system against the switching model. Experiments were also carried out to validate the results of the simulation models. The simulation models results are presented and compared with experimental results. Suitable steady state performance analysis of two-level, three phase voltage source inverter fed permanent magnet synchronous motor and two-level three phase full scale back-back voltage source inverter with permanent magnet synchronous generator drive simulation and experimental performance are also carried out. The results show good agreement of the proposed average voltage estimation model with the switching model and experimental data, and where necessary the reasons for differences are discussed. The simulation of the AVEM is approximately 50 times faster than the switching model. The limitation of the proposed model is also discussed; mainly it cannot be used for the study and analysis of the internal dynamics of the voltage source inverter. The results from the proposed modelling method utilising the average voltage estimation confirm that this method can be used as an alternative to the detailed switching model for fast simulation and steady state analysis of PM machine drive systems given the advantages of speed, simplicity and ease of implementation. Note that the proposed model is only used for steady state performance analysis; however, in future its application can be extended to transient analysis. In addition, the model is not about maximium power point tracking techniques but it can accommodate maximium power point tracking techniques. It should also be highlighted that exactly the same digital control block is used in both the switching and AVEM models thus allowing a true comparison of controller behaviour. The model developed in this research project has application beyond PMSM drive system and PMSG wind energy conversion system. It can be applied to modelling, simulation and control of other electrical machine drives such as induction machines, switched reluctance machines and three-phase VSI-fed systems.

Abstract:

The electric traction system used in trains is the most energy efficient traction system in the transportation sector. Moreover, it has the least NOx and CO2 emissions in comparison to other transportation systems (e.g. busses, passenger cars, airplanes, etc.). On the other hand, they are extremely expensive, mainly due to high installation and maintenance cost of the catenary system, including e.g. overhead lines and substations. Consequently, the share of electrified lines is only slightly higher than non-electrified lines. For instance in Europe, 60% of the railway networks are electrified, and the percentage is much lower in other continents. Battery driven trains are a new generation of electric trains that can overcome such high costs while keeping CO2 emissions and energy consumption low.At the moment, there are only two battery driven electric trains developed and both of the trains are passenger electric multiple units (EMUs). An EMU is an electric train with a traction system in more than one wagon, in contrast to loco-haul electric trains which have a traction system in one wagon only. Energy management during the operation of battery driven trains is a crucial task, as energy optimal operation of trains considering the optimal use of batteries can increase both the operating time and the lifetime of batteries. Energy efficient train operation is realized using driver advisory systems (DAS) that instructs drivers on how to drive trains for minimum energy consumption. The aim of this research is to propose an algorithm for speed profile optimization of both EMUs and battery driven EMUs. The desired algorithm should be suitable as a core component for an online DAS with short response time.Several approaches are proposed in the literature for speed profile optimization of electric trains, and a few of these have been proposed for speed profile optimization of battery driven electric trains. The trains modeled in almost all of the approaches are trains using a notch system for controlling tractive effort. The proposed solution in this research project is to use discrete dynamic programming (DP) to find the optimum speed profile. The application of DP is studied for speed profile optimization of EMUs with a notch system as well as EMUs with a smooth gliding handle for controlling tractive effort. The problem is solved for both normal EMUs and battery driven EMUs.The results of this research show that DP can provide accurate results in a reasonably short time. Moreover, the proposed algorithm can be used as a base for a DAS with fast response time (real-time).
Elektriska traktionssystem i tåg är det mest energieffektiva alternativet inom transportsektorn, och dessutom har det lägst NOx- och CO2-utsläpp i jämförelse med andra transportsystem (exempelvis bussar, personbilar, flygplan, etc.). Å andra sidan är de relativt dyra, främst på grund av höga installations- och underhållskostnader för kontaktledningssystem, inklusive t.ex. luftledningar och transformatorstationer. Följaktligen är andelen elektrifierade linjer något högre än andelen icke-elektrifierade linjer. I Europa är endast 60 % av järnvägsnäten elektrifierade, och andelen är till och med mycket lägre i andra världsdelar. Batteridrivna tåg representerar en ny generation av eltåg som kan nå rimliga kostnader samtidigt med låga CO2-utsläpp och låg energiförbrukning.För närvarande finns det bara två batteridrivna elektriska tåg utvecklade och båda tågen är passagerartåg med elektriska multipla enheter (EMUs). En EMU är ett elektriskt tåg med drivsystem i mer än en vagn, i motsats till lokomotiveltåg som har framdrivningssystemet centrerat till en enda vagn. Energihantering under driften av batteridrivna tåg är en viktig uppgift, och vid en energioptimal drift av tåget tillsammans med en optimerad användning av batterier ökar både driftstiden och livscykeln för batterierna. Energioptimal drift tillämpas i tågdrift med hjälp av ett system som kallas förarrådgivning (eng. Driver Advisory Support, DAS). DAS är ett system som instruerar tågföraren om hur man kör tåget med minimal energiförbrukning.Syftet med denna forskning är att föreslå en algoritm för hastighetsprofilsoptimering av både vanliga EMU:er samt motsvarande batteridrivna. Den önskade algoritmen skall vara lämpad att användas som en bas för ett online-DAS med kort svarstid.Olika metoder föreslås i litteraturen för hastighetsprofilsoptimering av eltåg, och några även för hastighetsprofilsoptimering av batteridrivna elektriska tåg. De tågmodeller som används har oftast ett så kallat “notch”-system för kontrollering av dragkraft. Den föreslagna lösningen i detta forskningsprojekt är att använda diskret dynamisk programmering (DP) för att hitta den optimala hastighetsprofilen. Tillämpning av DP studeras för hastighetsprofilsoptimering av EMU:er både med ”notch”-system samt EMU:er med ett kontinuerligt glidhandtag för styrning av dragkraft. Problemet löses för både normala EMU:er och batteridrivna EMU:er.Resultaten av denna forskning visar att DP kan ge korrekta resultat inom rimlig tid. Vidare kan den föreslagna algoritmen användas som en bas för en DAS med snabb svarstid (realtid).

Abstract:

Brushless machine topologies have highly favourable qualities for certain applications: no commutator means these machines can be operated at extremely high speeds and because there are no brushes to wear out they are very reliable. It is necessary to know the position of the rotor to operate the machine - this function is performed by the commutator in brushed machine types. For a brushless machine some form of position sensor is normally used to provide the required position information, however, this has drawbacks. Some position sensors can be quite costly and they are often unreliable when operated in hot, electrically noisy environments; decreasing the reliability of an otherwise extremely dependable machine. Several 'sensorless' control schemes have been developed over the years to remove the need for position sensors. This EngD thesis is split into two parts. The first part focuses on a 1,600W, lOO,OOOrpm switched reluctance machine and drive system, used in several products produced by Dyson Ltd. An existing, high-speed, sensorless, control strategy is applied to the machine and the stability of the scheme is analysed. The main challenge with applying a sensorless scheme to this system is the varying nature of the DC link voltage, present due to the low DC link capacitance, which is necessary to reduce costs. A major contribution of this work is the meeting of this challenge. The second part of the thesis examines a 200W, lOO,OOOrpm,battery powered brushless DC machine and a 1,600W, lOO,OOOrpm, mains voltage powered brushless DC machine. A low-speed and high-speed sensorless control system is implemented on the 200W system and the same high-speed sensorless scheme is applied to the 1,600W system. The main difficulty with these machines is that they are single-phase and many existing sensorless methods cannot be applied to them. As with the switched reluctance machine in part one, the 1,600W brushless DC machine has a varying DC link voltage. The main aims were to produce extremely low-cost, reliable sensorless systems that will replace the existing position sensors used on the drives and operate the machines to speeds in excess of 100,000rpm.

Abstract:

Healthcare is in urgent need of an effective way to manage the complexity it of its systems and to prepare quickly for immense changes in the economics of healthcare delivery and reimbursement. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) releases policies affecting inpatient and long-term care hospitals policies that directly affect reimbursement and payment rates. One of these policy changes, a quality-reporting program called Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR), will effect approximately 3,400 acute-care and 440 long-term care hospitals. IQR sets guidelines and measures that will contain financial incentives and penalties based on the quality of care provided. CMS, the largest healthcare payer, is aggressively promoting high quality of care by linking payment incentives to outcomes. With CMS assessing each hospital's performance by comparing its Quality Achievements and Quality Improvement scores, there is a growing need and demand to understand these quality measures under the context of patient care, data management and system integration. This focus on patient-centered quality care is difficult for healthcare systems due to the lack of a systemic view of the patient and patient care. This research uniquely addresses the hospital's need to meet these challenges by presenting a healthcare specific framework and methodology for translating data on quality metrics into actionable processes and feedback to produce the desired quality outcome. The solution is based on a patient-care level process ontology, rather than the technology itself, and creates a bridge that applies systems engineering principles to permit observation and control of the system. This is a transformative framework conceived to meet the needs of the rapidly changing healthcare landscape. Without this framework, healthcare is dealing with outcomes that are six to seven months old, meaning patients may not have been cared for effectively. In this research a framework and methodology called the Healthcare Ontology Based Systems Engineering Model (HOB-SEM) is developed to allow for observability and controllability of compartmental healthcare systems. HOB-SEM applies systems and controls engineering principles to healthcare using ontology as the method and the data lifecycle as the framework. The ontology view of patient-level system interaction and the framework to deliver data management and quality lifecycles enables the development of an agile systemic healthcare view for observability and controllability

The contents of this thesis describe the results of an investigation into the means by which computer aided design (CAD) may be applied to the protection systems of electrical drives, removing much of the repetitive procedures presently used in determining relay settings. To further this aim, a series of algorithms have been devised which allow exploitation of the concept. The areas chosen for demonstration are, direct-on-line started induction motors and transformer fed variable speed drives. In both cases "standard settings' cannot be implemented as the field of application varies enormously. The text discusses an algorithm which utilises several databases containing motor, fuse and cable parameters. Chapter three uses a program derived from this algorithm which allows data to be extracted from the databases and manipulated in order to determine the optimum circuit components. Subsequent chapters examine the implementation of two types of motor protection relay and discusses the algorithms used in modelling them. The text is supported by applications which demonstrate the effectiveness of the derived programs. Chapter six discusses in depth the application of overcurrent relays for the protection of transformers used on variable speed drive installations. The possibility of using overcurrent elements in two or three phases is examined together with the attendant difficulties which may arise. The algorithms are further expanded to incorporate applications which involve the protection of multi-transformer installations supplied from a common point.

Abstract:

Issues of wear and tribology are increasingly important in computer hard drives as slider flying heights are becoming lower and disk protective coatings thinner to minimise spacing loss and allow higher areal density. Friction, stiction and wear between the slider and disk in a hard drive were studied using Accelerated Friction Test (AFT) apparatus. Contact Start Stop (CSS) and constant speed drag tests were performed using commercial rigid disks and two different air bearing slider types. Friction and stiction were captured during testing by a set of strain gauges. System parameters were varied to investigate their effect on tribology at the head/disk interface. Chosen parameters were disk spinning velocity, slider fly height, temperature, humidity and intercycle pause. The effect of different disk texturing methods was also studied. Models were proposed to explain the influence of these parameters on tribology. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were used to study head and disk topography at various test stages and to provide physical parameters to verify the models. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) was employed to identify surface composition and determine if any chemical changes had occurred as a result of testing. The parameters most likely to influence the interface were identified for both CSS and drag testing. Neural Network modelling was used to substantiate results. Topographical AFM scans of disk and slider were exported numerically to file and explored extensively. Techniques were developed which improved line and area analysis. A method for detecting surface contacts was also deduced, results supported and explained observed AFT behaviour. Finally surfaces were computer generated to simulate real disk scans, this allowed contact analysis of many types of surface to be performed. Conclusions were drawn about what disk characteristics most affected contacts and hence friction, stiction and wear.
