With the advantage of in situ measurement, the three-probe method is commonly used to measure either the error motion of high-precision spindles or the roundness error of artifacts. The roundness error of artifacts or spindle errors can be obtained through solving error-separation equations. Both the time- and frequency-domain solutions of the three-probe method are presented. In addition, the key points of solutions, i.e., the rounding error induced by inconsistency of sampling points, harmonic suppression, and averaging schemes of multiple revolutions into one circle, are described in detail. Experiments were conducted to compare the two solutions and quantify the influence of setup parameters, including rotational speed probe arrangement, consistency of sampling points, and number of revolutions. The results showed that the roundness error of the time-domain solution was inaccurate due to large rounding errors, while that of the frequency-domain solution with the previous average scheme was accurate. In contrast, the spindle error of the frequency-domain solution with the latter average scheme was more reliable. The findings provided a reference to recommend setup parameters depending on the aim of the three-probe method. Full article

Abstract

An asymmetric, cross-coupling effect, as well as digital control delays, in a permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) will deteriorate its current-control performance in the high-speed range, especially for electric motors used in electric vehicles (EVs) with features such as high-power density and a low carrier/modulation frequency ratio. In this paper, an angle-compensating, complex-coefficient, proportional-integrator (ACCC-PI) controller is proposed, which aims to provide an excellent decoupling performance even with considerable digital control delay. Firstly, the current open and closed loop complex-coefficient transfer functions were established in the synchronous rotation coordinate system. The proposed method, along with existing ones, were then evaluated and theoretically compared. On this basis, the parameter-tuning method of the ACCC-PI controller was presented. Finally, simulation and experimental results proved the correctness of the theoretical analysis and the proposed method. Full article

In recent years, with the development of the permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM), the application of PMLSM has not been limited only to the high-end equipment field; the primary stator discontinuous segmented-PMLSM (DSPMLSM), which consists of multiple primary stators and one mover, has also been applied in long-distance transportation systems, such as electromagnetic launch, high precision material transport, etc. Compared with the symmetry phase parameters of conventional PMLSM, the stationary electrical parameters vary when the mover enters and leaves the primary stators (the inter-segment region). At the same time, due to the sectional power supply, there will be primary suction or pulling force when the mover enters and exits the inter-segment region, which will lead to large thrust fluctuation and result in lager position error. This paper proposed a related drive and control strategy about the DSPMLSM system, which improved the position tracking accuracy during the full range of DSPMLSM. First, the parameter variation between stator segments has been analyzed through finite element simulation of DSPMLSM. Then, a double closed-loop series control structure of position-current is designed, in which a PI-Lead controller was adopted for the position loop and a PI controller was adopted for the current loop. In order to improve the position tracking accuracy of DSPMLSM, a thrust fluctuation extended state observer (TFESO) was adopted to observe and compensate the complex thrust disturbances such as cogging force, friction and other unmodeled thrust fluctuation. At last, the DSPMLSM experimental stage was established, and the experimental results show that the proposed driver and control theory can effectively improve the position tracking accuracy of the whole stroke of DSPMLSM.

At this stage, the fault diagnosis of the embedded permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) mostly relies on the analysis of related signals when the motor is running. It requires designers to deeply understand the motor drive system and fault characteristic signals, which leads to a high threshold for fault diagnosis. This study proposes an IPMSM fault diagnosis method based on a multi-level feature fusion spatial pyramid pooling (SPP) network, which can directly diagnose motor faults through motor operating current data. This method uses the finite element software Altair Flux to build symmetrical normal motor and demagnetization faulty motor models, as well as an asymmetrical eccentric fault model; conduct a joint simulation with MATLAB-Simulink to obtain fault current data; convert the collected current data into grayscale images, using the data set expansion method to form training and test data sets; and improve the convolutional neural network (CNN) network structure, that is, adding jump connections after each pooling layer and adding a spatial pyramid pooling layer after the last pooling layer to form a new CNN structure. Experimental results show that the new CNN can extract different levels and different scales of motor fault features hidden in the image, and can effectively diagnose different types of IPMSM faults. Compared with the traditional CNN, the new CNN has a higher fault diagnosis accuracy, up to 98.16%, 2.3% higher. Full article

The charging time of Li-ion batteries connected in series (LBCSs) power supply is the main concern in an electromagnetic propulsion system. However, the capacity loss of a Li-ion battery is inevitable due to the repetitive operation of LBCSs power supply, which leads to the decrease in the average current. Thus, the voltages of symmetrically distributed pulse capacitors of LBCSs power supply will not reach the setting value in the specified time. This paper proposes a novel closed-loop control method to solve the problem. By collecting the pulse capacitor voltage and the circuit current, the time sequences of Li-ion batteries are recalculated in real time in a closed-loop to increase the average current. The time-domain model of the circuit topology of the LBCSs power supply and an innovative closed-loop control method based on the time sequences recalculation algorithm are described first. Then, the circuit model is built in PSIM for simulation analyses. Finally, a series of experiments are conducted to confirm the effectiveness of the method on the megawatt LBCSs power supply platform. Both the simulation and experimental results validate that the proposed method not only shortens the charging time, but also increases the average current. In practical experiments, the charging time is shortened by 4.5% and the average current is increased by 4.8% using the proposed method at the capacity loss of 50 V. Full article
