    摘要: In an active magnetic bearing system employing radial or thrust bearings, rotor shaft position is determined without requiring air gap position sensors, resulting in a high reliability system. The flux paths for each respective electromagnetic force actuator of the active magnetic bearing are isolated in order to minimize the magnetic coupling therebetween. In this way, the current (or magnetomotive force, mmf) in each respective actuator is functionally related to the flux therethrough, independent of the currents (or mmf's) in adjacent actuators. Application of a digital PWM pole voltage waveform during normal bearing operation results in a ripple current waveform at the PWM switching frequency. The resulting change in stator pole current and pole voltage are measured, and the average differential inductance is determined therefrom. Then, with knowledge of the differential inductance and the average pole current, the effective air gap length, air gap velocity, and magnetic flux are determined according to the inherent magnetization characteristic of the magnetic bearing.

    摘要: In an active magnetic bearing system employing radial or thrust bearings, rotor shaft position is determined without requiring air gap position sensors, resulting in a high reliability system. The flux paths for each respective electromagnetic force actuator of the active magnetic bearing are isolated in order to minimize the magnetic coupling therebetween. The active magnetic bearing system is controlled for mutually exclusive excitation of each of the two actuators (e.g., stator pole pairs) per control axis. A sequence of test voltage pulses is applied to the unexcited one of each actuator pole-pair. At the peak of an applied test voltage pulse, after a predetermined time interval, the pole flux linkage is estimated using either an analog or software integrator. The integrator is reset at zero current, and hence zero flux, thereby avoiding accumulation of errors. The effective air gap length is determined from the inherent magnetization characteristic of the magnetic bearing using the measured current and the estimated flux linkage. Effectively, each magnetic pole is used alternately for force actuation and for inductive feedback sensing, eliminating the need for separate position sensors.

    摘要: A fault tolerant active magnetic bearing system comprises a magnetic bearing having a rotor mounted for rotation within a stator and for coupling to a shaft. An electric power distribution system is energized from a multi-phase switched reluctance machine supplying three independent DC power buses. Each of the power buses is coupled for supplying power to a respective pair of diametrically opposite electromagnets of the magnetic bearing so as to establish multiple magnetic control axes. Multiple power controllers are each operatively connected in circuit with a separate respective power bus. The power controllers include independent power control systems each coupled to a respective pair of diametrically opposite electromagnets for independently controlling energization of each one of the pair of diametrically opposite electromagnets.

    摘要: A method for estimating rotor position of a switched reluctance motor during rotor start-up or low speed operation includes applying a sequence of relatively high frequency, short duration electric probing pulses to at least two inactive excitation phase windings of a multi-phase motor. The voltage and current at each of the two inactive excitation phase windings are measured and the resultant values used to compute an estimated rotor/stator linkage/flux in each of the two excitation phase windings. The computed linkage/flux and measured phase current of the two inactive excitation windings is then used in a model to determine the rotor position. In one form, rotor position is determined by establishing a table of values representing rotor position as a function of phase current for each of a plurality of values of motor phase linkage/flux and selecting from the table a value of rotor position corresponding to the measured phase current and computed linkage/flux for the phase.

    摘要: An auxiliary quasi-resonant dc link (AQRDCL) converter is employed to achieve soft-switching in an inverter coupled to a dc supply via a resonant dc link circuit. The resonant dc link circuit generates a quasi-resonant voltage to the inverter via a resonant bus. The dc link circuit includes upper and lower capacitors coupled to series between the positive and negative rails of the dc supply, respectively, with the voltage across the lower capacitor being controlled to be greater than the voltage across the upper capacitor. In this way, the need for a switch shorting the resonant bus to ground during a resonant cycle is avoided. An auxiliary switching device assists resonant operation of the resonant bus to zero voltage in order to provide a zero-voltage switching opportunity for the inverter switching devices as the inverter changes state. The AQRDCL then quickly resonates back up to the positive rail voltage as a clamping circuit clamps the resonant bus voltage thereto either with or without the assistance of a second auxiliary switching device, as desired. The auxiliary switching device(es) operates under zero-current switching conditions and at a rate that is below the resonant frequency of the resonant dc link circuit. In addition to high efficiency, the AQRDCL converter has low current and voltage stresses and uses a minimal number of circuit components. The AQRDCL may be used to achieve soft-switching in a variety of inverter topologies, including a switched reluctance machine inverter.
