Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Topic is a continuation of the previous successful Topic “Advanced Electrical Machines and Drives Technologies”. Electrical machines and drives are among the most important components used in a wide application range, such as industry, transportation, power systems, etc. Also, nowadays, their development is a real challenge, as it is concentrated on efficiency improvements, together with material and manufacturing cost reductions. The literature on such devices is huge, covering a lot of working principles and topologies. Worldwide, a great number of specialists are involved in these fields, who are seeking both the latest technical advancements and publishing possibilities to reach a greater audience.

This topic intends to collect papers from the fields of electrical machines and drives which focus on their design, optimization, modeling, experimental testing, and fabrication, as well on their application fields. Multidisciplinary approaches are welcomed.

The integrated energy system at the park level, renowned for its diverse energy complementarity and environmentally friendly attributes, serves as a crucial platform for incorporating novel energy consumption methods. Nevertheless, distributed energy generation, characterized by randomness, fluctuations, and intermittency, is significantly influenced by the surrounding environment. Within the park, the output of multiple devices frequently diverges significantly from the actual demand, potentially resulting in energy waste phenomena, such as the curtailment of wind and solar power. To tackle the dual challenges of balancing energy supply and demand while reducing carbon emissions in the industrial park, this paper introduces a low-carbon integrated energy system that incorporates distributed renewable and clean energy sources. Mathematical models are formulated for the source–grid–load–storage components of this low-carbon integrated energy system. Furthermore, various operational scenarios for the park-level integrated energy system are analyzed. The ultimate goal is to devise an economically viable, low-carbon, and efficient operational strategy for the integrated energy system, aiming to satisfy the diverse objectives of various stakeholders.

High torque ripple can be observed with a 6/4 variable flux reluctance machine (VFRM). In order to minimize the torque ripple in VFRMs, this paper presents a harmonic injection method for 6/4 VFRMs with an open-winding configuration. By analyzing the impact of harmonics on VFRMs, the method involves detecting the third harmonic using a first-order low-pass filter (FLPF). Subsequently, the extracted harmonics are controlled and shifted to counteract the voltage harmonics in both inverters without inducing phase imbalance or overvoltage. With the proposed method, the torque ripple can be significantly reduced by about 50% under load conditions. The effectiveness of the harmonic injection method is validated through a prototype VFRM.

This paper investigates the effects of high-frequency switching and a high fundamental frequency on the parameters and efficiency of a high-speed permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) drive. We discuss the design and modeling of the PMSM, taking into account these high-frequency effects. The impact of high frequencies is analyzed across three different inverters (IGBT, Fast IGBT, and SiC-MOSFET) and the motor, and we employ theoretical analysis, computer simulations, and experimental tests for validation. Our goal is to enhance our understanding of how these high-frequency factors affect the performance of the motor drive. Full article
