摘要: Systems and methods are provided for controlling and simulating a motor. An electronic motor controller determines present motor information and a motor control parameter set based on the present motor information and a rotating reference frame of the motor. The rotating reference frame has independent input channels that decouple an intended output response in a stator D-axis component and a rotor field (R) component of a direct-quadrature-null-rotor (DQNR) reference frame. The electronic motor controller further controls the motor based on the motor control parameter set.

摘要: An electric machine includes a stator defining multiple stator poles with associated stator windings configured to receive a stator current. The electric machine also includes a rotor defining multiple fixed rotor poles with associated rotor windings, wherein the rotor defines a field energizable by magnetic fields produced by the stator windings when receiving the stator current to produce relative motion between the rotor and the stator and wherein the rotor is maintained in synchronicity with the magnetic fields produced by the stator during operation of the electric machine. The electric machine also includes a rectification system configured control against an alternating current being induced in the rotor poles as the field is energized by magnetic fields produced by the stator windings when receiving the stator current.

摘要: A stator defines multiple stator poles with associated stator windings. A rotor defines multiple rotor poles with associated rotor windings configured to be energized substantially by the stator. The rotor defines a rotor field energizable by magnetic fields produced by the stator windings to produce relative force between the rotor and the stator. An active rectifier is conductively coupled to one or more first rotor windings. The active rectifier is configured to control a direction of current flow through the one or more first rotor windings responsive to a signal received wirelessly from the stator by one or more second rotor windings.

摘要: A stator defines multiple stator poles with associated stator windings. A rotor defines multiple fixed rotor poles with associated teeth with a ferromagnetic material. The fixed rotor poles have associated rotor windings configured to be energized substantially by the stator. Each of the rotor windings is associated with the tooth. Each of the rotor windings includes an alternating current (AC) coil (or auxiliary coil) configured to carry an AC current induced by an AC current flowing in the stator. A direct current (DC) coil (or primary coil) defines a rotor field energizable by magnetic fields produced by the stator windings to produce relative forces between the rotor and the stator. The DC coil is at least partially powered or controlled by the AC coil.

摘要: An electric machine includes a stator and a rotor energizable by magnetic fields produced by the stator when receiving a stator current to produce relative motion between the rotor and the stator. A controller is configured to send the stator current through the stator at a current angle measured from the closest one of a pole of the rotor, determine a desired operational output of the electric machine, and determine a desired rotor motion corresponding to the desired operational output of the electric machine. The controller is further configured to calculate a vector control modulation applied to the stator that elicits the desired rotor motion, and adjust the current angle of the stator current based on the vector control modulation to cause the rotor to perform the desired rotor motion and achieve the desired operational output of the electric machine.
