This paper suggests the reasonable switching frequency determination method for achieving highest efficiency of the railway propulsion system consisting the silicon carbide (SiC) inverter and permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The SiC power device allows increasing the switching frequency of the inverter because it has the small switching power loss. The total efficiency is taken into account for determining the switching frequency of SiC inverter in this paper. In the efficiency analysis of SiC inverter and PMSM, the PMSM drive control is considered with the hybrid switching method combined the synchronous PWM and asynchronous PWM. The result of the analysis shows the efficiency curve of propulsion system depending on the switching frequency. The switching frequency having the minimum power loss of propulsion system is selected based on the extracted power loss curve.

In this paper, an adaptive robust drive control system for an axial flux permanent magnet synchronous motor of an electric medium-sized bus based on the optimal torque distribution method is studied. The drive control system is mainly divided into two parts. First, a torque distribution method is proposed. The optimal torque distribution method based on particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to increase the high efficiency interval of the system and apply it to the energy feedback braking. Secondly, in order to reduce the nonlinear disturbance of the system and improve the accuracy of the unified control, this paper models and studies the vector system based on adaptive robust control. Finally, the whole drive control system is modeled, simulated and experimented. The simulation and experimental results show that the torque distribution method proposed in this paper can effectively increase the high-efficiency running time of the electric medium bus, and improve the shortcomings of insufficient mileage of the electric medium-sized bus. The use of a current controller based on adaptive robust control improves the control accuracy of the drive system and can effectively suppress the disturbances generated by it.

An accurate mathematic model of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is necessary for precise torque control and/or high efficiency drive control. This paper discusses the development model of PMSM by taking all losses and saturation into account. In the proposed model, all losses composing of the copper loss, core loss, mechanical loss and stray loss were analyzed to improve the torque equation. In addition, considering the influence of saturation level, the variations of the core loss resistance, direct-quadrature axis magnetic inductance and permanent magnet flux were discussed on support of the data analyzed by Ansoft. In order to verify the developed model, a start up simulation is performed in the mode of open-loop and the results confirm the validity of the model.

In order to implement a high-efficiency bridgeless power factor correction converter, a new topology and operation principles of continuous conduction mode (CCM) and DC steady-state character of the converter are analyzed, which show that the converter not only has bipolar-gain characteristic but also has the same characteristic as the traditional Boost converter, while the voltage transfer ratio is not related with the resonant branch parameters and switching frequency. Based on the above topology, a novel bridgeless Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost PFC converter is proposed. With this converter, the diode rectifier bridge of traditional AC-DC converter is eliminated, and zero-current switching of fast recovery diode is achieved. Thus, the efficiency is improved. Next, we also propose the one-cycle control policy of this converter. Finally, experiments are provided to verify the accuracy and feasibility of the proposed converter.

Abstract The paper presents the results of an optimization study of an automotive fuel cell propulsion system equipped with a fuel reformer. Based on a set of fuel cell polarization curves determined experimentally by running a prototype fuel cell stack at a variety of operating pressures and temperatures, a numerical steady state model was used to determine the optimal operating pressure and temperature. The optimization criteria were the size of individual components and the entire propulsion system as well as its total efficiency at both full power and partial load. The results suggested that an automotive system should be operated at relatively high pressure (308 kPa), but an expander must be used to recover most of the power used for compression. A surprising result of this analysis is that a relatively low temperature (∼60°C) results in smallest heat rejection equipment if neutral water balance is mandated. The efficiency of the system is about 33% at full power and about 38% at 25% of the load. Higher efficiencies may be achieved by selecting a higher fuel cell operating voltage, but that would result in larger fuel cell stacks, which may be a limiting factor for automotive application with the state-of-the-art fuel cells.

The Moment

The control of permanent magnet synchronous motor has become an important research, and many control methods have been developed because of its high efficiency and energy-saving characteristics. This article proposes a new motor control approach based on synergetic approach in control theory (SACT) and sliding-mode control (SMC). Since the load torque of the motor will change, the moment of inertia will increase in the experiment. The load torque is estimated by the sliding-mode observer. The moment of inertia is calculated by the least squares method by adding a forgetting factor. The practical application of synergetic control theory broadens the train of thought to meet the demand of high-performance motor drive further. The simulation and experimental results show that this control scheme in this article can improve the transient response and system robustness of dynamic systems.

This paper proposes the design and implementation of inductor-inductor-capacitor (LLC) converters with modules connected in series with the power scan method and communication scan network (CSN) to achieve MPPT and regulate the output voltage for the PV micro-grid system. The Dc/Dc converters includes six isolated LLC modules in series to supply ±380 V output voltage and track the maximum power point of the PV system. The series LLC converters are adopted to achieve high efficiency and high flexibility for the PV micro-grid system. The proposed global maximum power scan technique is implemented to achieve global maximum power tracking by adjusting the switching frequency of the LLC converter. To improve the system flexibility and achieve system redundancy, module failure can be detected in real time with a communication scan network, and then the output voltage of other modules will be changed by adjusting the switching frequency to maintain the same voltage as before the failure. Additionally, the proposed communication scan network includes the RS-485 interface of the MPPT series module and the CAN BUS communication interface with other subsystems’ communication for the PV micro-grid application system. Finally, a 6 kW MPPT prototype with a communication scan network is implemented and the proposed control method is verified for the PV system.
