This paper presents a flux weakening algorithm for synchronous reluctance motors (SynRMs) based on parameters estimated at standstill. Recently, flux saturated motors have been studied. Flux saturation models were identified and look-up tables were generated based on the saturation model for maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) and flux weakening operations. The operation with tables would degrade the accuracy of operating points when the table size is not enough. The proposed method implements a flux weakening operation without tables, and the operating points are determined with voltages and currents on operating points. Therefore, the accuracy can be maintained. In addition, the computation time to generate the tables is not needed, so the initial commissioning process can be reduced. The proposed method consists of two parts: the determination of a flux weakening region and the modification of current references. The flux weakening region is determined by the angle between direction vectors along the constant torque and voltage decreasing directions in the d-q axis current plane. After identifying the flux weakening region, the current references are modified for flux weakening according to the direction vector and appropriate magnitude. The direction and magnitude are determined by the operating point of the currents and magnitude of the output voltage, respectively. Using the flux saturation model for SynRMs, the flux weakening direction can be determined accurately. As a result, flux weakening can be performed precisely. The experimental results prove the validity of the proposed method.

Interior permanent magnet motor (IPMSM) was used as air conditioner compressor to reduce the power consumption and improve the performance of the system. Two control methods including maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) and flux-weakening methods were employed to increase the speed range of the air conditioner compressor. The present study adapted the flux weakening algorithm technique which can be used for constant torque and constant power regions. Results indicated that the operation speed range of the IPMSM may increase significantly by using the proposed flux weakening algorithm.

The basic configuration of step up converter usually used in photovoltaic solar systems to increase the DC voltage generated at their outputs suffers from some drawbacks just like high ripple in the output voltage, greater losses in the system and unstable dynamic behavior. To eliminate these drawbacks, this paper introduces a two-phase connection of step up converter with uncoupled smoothing reactors. Detailed analysis, simulation and control strategy have been proposed in this paper to investigate the advantages of using such connection with uncoupled reactors. This paper is intended to prove that two-phase connection with uncoupled reactors helps increasing the output power of the converter, minimizing its output ripple and making its control easier and more efficient. It also increases the converter chopping frequency and consequently decreases the size of smoothing reactors and filters used in the system. Concerning the design of such converters, it requires a long working period of time with a significant cost and specific technical tests at nominal operating points. Therefore, simulation can essentially decrease economic and development costs. Using modulation and simulation software techniques (Simplorer, Simulink, and Matlab) throughout this paper helped simulation of very fast the converter behavior and accurate determination of its dynamic characteristics. Moreover, the paper deals with modulation of voltage control technique using Matlab and Simplorer, thus regulating the converter output current and voltage. Simulation results show that this control technique provides robust output current and voltage of step up converters and is more feasible for their chopper up conversion technique.

An interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) drive system with machine learning-based maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) as well as flux-weakening (FW) control was developed and is presented in this study. Since the control performance of IPMSM varies significantly due to the temperature variation and magnetic saturation, a machine learning-based MTPA control using a Petri probabilistic fuzzy neural network with an asymmetric membership function (PPFNN-AMF) was developed. First, the d-axis current command, which can achieve the MTPA control of the IPMSM, is derived. Then, the difference value of the dq-axis inductance of the IPMSM is obtained by the PPFNN-AMF and substituted into the d-axis current command of the MTPA to alleviate the saturation effect in the constant torque region. Moreover, a voltage control loop, which can limit the inverter output voltage to the maximum output voltage of the inverter at high-speed, is designed for the FW control in the constant power region. In addition, an adaptive complementary sliding mode (ACSM) speed controller is developed to improve the transient response of the speed control. Finally, some experimental results are given to demonstrate the validity of the proposed high-performance control strategies.

In any economy there is a need for the bulky goods transportation which cannot be divided into smaller parts. Such cargoes include building structures, elements of industrial equipment, tracked or wheeled construction and agricultural machinery, heavy armored military vehicles. In any case, tractor-semitrailer should provide fast delivery of goods with minimal fuel consumption. In order to guarantee the goods delivery, tractor-semitrailers must be able to overcome the existing roads broken grade and be capable to tow a semi-trailer in off-road conditions. These properties are especially important for military equipment transportation. The important factor that determines a tractor-semitrailer mobility is its gradeability. The purpose of this work is to improve a tractor-semitrailer mobility with tractor units manufactured at PJSC “AutoKrAZ” by increasing the tractor-semitrailer gradeability. The customer requirements for a new tractor are determined by the maximizing the grade to 18°. The analysis of the characteristics of modern tractor-semitrailers for heavy haulage has shown that the highest rate of this grade is 16.7°. The factors determining the limiting gradeability value were analyzed, based on the tractor-semitrailer with a KrAZ-6510TE tractor and a semi-trailer with a full weight of 80 t. It has been developed a mathematical model to investigate the tractor and semi-trailer axles vertical reactions distribution on the tractor-semitrailer friction performances. The mathematical model has allowed to calculate the gradeability value that the tractor-semitrailer can overcome in case of wheels and road surface friction value and the tractive force magnitude from the engine. The mathematical model adequacy was confirmed by comparing the calculations results with the data of factory tests. The analysis showed that on a dry road the KrAZ-6510TE tractor with a 80 t gross weight semitrailer is capable to climb a gradient of 14,35 ° with its coupling mass full use condition. The engine's maximum torque allows the tractor-semitrailer to overcome a gradient of 10.45° It has been determined the ways to improve the design of the KrAZ-6510TE tractor to increase its gradeability. Keywords: tractor, tractor-semitrailer vehicle mobility, tractor-semitrailer vehicle gradeability.
