Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Guest Editor is inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “Advanced Structures, Fault Diagnosis and Tolerant Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors”. Permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) systems are essential in safety-critical and high-cost applications such as aerospace, robotics, numerically controlled machine tools, and electric vehicles.

This Special Issue will cover a wide range of emerging developments for rotational and linear PMSM systems, including innovative machine structures, fault diagnosis approaches, advanced control methods, etc. Moreover, air gap field modulation theory, winding theory and magnetic circuit are also interesting topics. All methodologies and techniques related to PMSMs and their controls are welcome.

The starter generator is the key component of the aircraft’s starter generation system. A high power density, efficiency, and reliability are essential for an aircraft’s starter generator. The configuration of the windings is closely related to the performance of the starter generator. In this paper, the winding performance analysis and design are studied. Considering the skin effect, circulation effect, and proximity effect, a calculation model of winding loss under high-frequency operation is established. The motor performance under different winding connections is compared. Through a comprehensive comparison of starting performance, generation loss, and process performance differences, the optimum configuration of windings is identified. The performance of the starter generator including winding resistance, current, and no-load loss was tested on the prototype platform to verify the rationality and correctness of the analysis and design methods.

The PWM voltage pulses output by the inverter reaches the stator winding of the wind turbine generator through the cable. Due to the impedance mismatch between the motor and the cable, the voltage at the motor end rises under the action of the circuit wave process; on the other hand, electromagnetic oscillation occurs within the motor winding. Higher overvoltage is generated under the combined effect of both, which greatly accelerates the aging and breakdown of the insulation layer of the permanent magnet synchronous wind turbine. In this paper, a three-dimensional electromagnetic model of the permanent magnet synchronous wind turbine generator is established. The distribution circuit parameters of the stator winding of the permanent magnet machine are calculated using the finite element method, and its circuit model is based. The voltage distribution of the stator winding under different PWM excitations is investigated by simulation software, and the effects of the time of the rising edge and the pulse width of the PWM pulse on the stator winding voltage to ground and the turn-to-turn voltage distribution are studied. The results show that the effect of the rising edge time is larger when the rising edge time is shorter, the maximum voltage to ground occurs in the first coil, and the amplitude can be up to 1.5 times of the output voltage. When the rising edge time is longer, the maximum voltage to ground occurs in the end coil, and the amplitude is slightly higher than the output voltage. The trend of turn-to-turn voltage variation is similar for different rising edges; only the maximum turn-to-turn voltage amplitude is different. Pulse width has a small effect on overvoltage and only occurs when the pulse width is less than 10 μs. The research results of this paper are of great significance in revealing the aging and breakdown mechanism of the generator stator insulation, as well as the insulation coordination and design.
