- Active Flux Based Finite Control Set Model Predictive Control of Synchronous Reluctance Motor DrivesPublication . Hadla, Hazem; Cruz, SérgioThis paper presents two new finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) strategies for synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) drives, using the active flux concept. Both control strategies guarantee a fast and independent control of the torque and active flux of the SynRM, in order to obtain a high performance drive. The first strategy relies on a more conventional implementation of a FCS-MPC algorithm, which requires some effort to tune the weighting factors used in the cost function. The second control approach corresponds to a simplification of the first one, and allows a reduction of the calculation time associated to the predictions stage of the algorithm and, at the same time, avoids the use of weighting factors in the cost function. This allows to simplify the implementation of the control system, obtaining the same dynamic performance as with the first strategy. Experimental and simulation results verify the validity and effectiveness of the two proposed control schemes for SynRM drives. Furthermore, a state-of-the-art control technique like direct torque control is also considered in the paper, for performance comparison purposes.
- An encoderless high-performance synchronous reluctance motor drivePublication . Hadla, Hazem; Cruz, Sérgio; Oliveira, Álvaro; Cavaleiro, Diogo; Branco, RicardoThis paper presents an encoderless high-performance synchronous reluctance motor drive for traction applications. The control system is based on the active flux concept and a hybrid rotor position estimation algorithm is used, being this algorithm based on the injection of high-frequency signals at low speeds and on the position of the active flux vector for medium and high-speeds. A smooth transition algorithm between the two rotor position estimation methods is provided. Moreover, in order to improve the efficiency of the overall drive system, a loss minimization algorithm is proposed in order to reduce the motor copper losses when operating in steady-state. Experimental results obtained in the laboratory confirm the validity and adequacy of the proposed algorithms for the developed drive system.
- Conversor DC/DC para Interligação de Armazenamento e Produção de Energia com Origem em Fontes RenováveisPublication . Santos, Fernando; Cruz, Sérgio; Jorge, Humberto Manuel MatosO trabalho de investigação aqui reportado tem como objectivo último a integração de diferentes módulos de produção e armazenamento de energia, com várias cargas eléctricas, por intermédio de um barramento DC, estando este interligado com a rede eléctrica de forma a optimizar, do ponto de vista económico, as trocas de energia entre esta e tal barramento. Em concreto, este trabalho de investigação centra-se nos conversores de potência necessários à interligação dos diferentes módulos produtores e de armazenamento de energia eléctrica ao barramento. De forma a compatibilizar os equipamentos de diferentes fabricantes, com diferentes tensões de funcionamento, torna-se necessário implementar conversores DC/DC que permitam a ligação destes ao barramento DC, com elevado rendimento e possibilitando a gestão da energia eléctrica fornecida/pedida por cada módulo. Este artigo expõe o dimensionamento e explica o funcionamento dos conversores DC/DC que serão usados no sistema laboratorial implementado para o efeito. Após o bom dimensionamento destes será possível interligar o barramento DC à rede, através de um rectificador PWM, sendo possível gerir de forma eficiente o fluxo de energia entre o barramento DC e a rede de distribuição de energia eléctrica. A partir desse ponto pode ser feita uma análise económica do mercado da energia e do impacto destes sistemas no diagrama de carga da rede.
- Predictive Torque Control of SynRM Drives with online MTPA Trajectory Tracking and Inductances EstimationPublication . Hadla, Hazem; Cruz, Sérgio; Varatharajan, AnantaramThis paper proposes a new predictive torque control algorithm for synchronous reluctance motor drives with the ability to track online the maximum torque per ampere trajectory. An additional term is included in the cost function of the predictive control algorithm which uses an adaptive weighting factor to improve the dynamic behavior of the drive system. As the derivative of torque with respect to the current angle depends on the values of the apparent and incremental inductances, the apparent inductances are estimated online based on the values of the flux linkage and current components while the incremental inductances are estimated using a recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm. Experimental results validate the proposed control algorithm and demonstrate a remarkable performance both in steady-state and during transients, as well as a reduction of the current ripple and audible noise.
