Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The use of emerging technologies in electric power systems has boosted many recent applications to become widespread, such as electric traction, active distribution networks and microgrids. For all related technologies, there has been a big endeavor to developing research in several areas associated with electric machines, specially in their modeling, operation, and control. Additionally, electric machines play a key role in every particular task to ensure not only the power supply, but also in recent advances directed to alternative sources of energy, automotive applications, distribution grids and microgrids, and industrial processes that support themselves on electric power. This special issue goes in the direction of ongoing efforts around the new pathways of electrical engineering.

This Special Issue aims to address new advances in emerging topics of modeling, design, control, diagnostic, and protection of electric machienes for applications in power equipment, automotive, active distribution networks, and microgrids. A paper on one or more of the following subjects is especially welcomed:

  • Finite element analysis applied to machine design
  • Electric machine design based on deterministic/heuristic optimization
  • Electric machine control and management for automotive applications
  • Test strategies for validating electric machine design and control in relevant applications
  • Predictive control applications for electric machines
  • Data-driven control approaches for active distribution grids and microgrids
  • Electrical equipment diagnosis, and signal processing-based protection schemes
  • Optimization-based methods for planning and operation of active distribution networks and microgrids
  • Design and application of fault current limiters
  • Modeling of electric machines for transient analysis, and optimal electromagnetic design

Many modern high-end vehicles exploit controllable damping solutions to enhance their adaptability to different road conditions and driving styles. Among these technologies, active dampers offer improved performance due to their four-quadrant operation in the torque–speed plane. In active electromagnetic dampers, brushless permanent magnet machines are used because of their high torque density. However, to the best of our knowledge, a process to set the previously reported; likewise, which rotor topology exhibits the best performance in such cases has not been validated. Consequently, the resulting actuator could exhibit suboptimal dynamical performance and power conversion efficiency. Although some design processes have been formulated in the past for semiactive controllers (the damping is modified using a variable resistive load), they are not suitable for active suspension control. Similarly, there are existing solutions to increase conversion efficiency using mechanical motion rectifiers; however, active forces cannot be exerted, limiting their applicability to semiactive actuators. Therefore, this paper presents a design methodology, using finite element method together with MATLAB/Simulink™, to set and test the parameters of AC brushless PM machines, intended for actively controlled suspensions. A novel approach to set the base speed, which takes advantage of field-weakening capability, is also presented. To test the proposed method, three machines with well-known rotor topologies were designed and evaluated as case studies, and the surface-mounted topology was found to be the most suitable for the analyzed task.

This article presents an evaluation of Prony method estimation and its implementation considerations for surge comparison test application in turn insulation diagnostics for three-phase stator windings. Surge testing diagnostics compares recorded surge voltage signals of motor winding, and a diagnostic is then defined with a defined value of EAR (error area ratio), which evaluates the difference between signals to determine a turn insulation diagnostic. First, an overview of surge testing is presented. Next, the Prony method and the considerations for its implementation in surge testing are described. Then, a numerical simulation is used to define a simulated turn fault surge voltage signal, where its parameters can be obtained with Prony method estimation and compared with EAR to evaluate its performance. Lastly, recorded surge test signals from two tested motors are used to validate Prony method estimation application for surge test diagnostics, where twelve recorded surge signals for no-fault and fault conditions were analyzed. The summary results of the surge signals parameter estimation are presented in the results and discussion section. Full article
