Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) failures are currently widely discussed in the literature, but the impact of these failures on the operation of control systems and the ability to detect selected failures despite the compensating effect of control algorithms being relatively rarely analyzed. The article presents the impact of damage to the stator winding of a PMSM motor on the operation of two frequency control structures, scalar and vector control. The mathematical model of PMSM that takes into account the influence of a different number of shorted turns in the stator winding phase was presented, and its experimental verification was performed. Then, the influence of various degrees of damage to the stator winding on the waveforms of the motor state variables in an open scalar control structure and in a closed field-oriented control structure was analyzed. Based on the analysis of phase currents and rotational speed of the motor as well as the influence of the PMSM motor operating conditions, the basic techniques of extracting the symptoms of stator winding inter-turn short-circuits were analyzed, and the failure indicators were developed, which enable simple diagnostics of the stator winding.

In this paper, the idea of using a convolutional neural network (CNN) for the detection and classification of induction motor stator winding faults is presented. The diagnosis inference of the stator inter-turn short-circuits is based on raw stator current data. It offers the possibility of using the diagnostic signal direct processing, which could replace well known analytical methods. Tests were carried out for various levels of stator failures. In order to assess the sensitivity of the applied CNN-based detector to motor operating conditions, the tests were carried out for variable load torques and for different values of supply voltage frequency. Experimental tests were conducted on a specially designed setup with the 3 kW induction motor of special construction, which allowed for the physical modelling of inter-turn short-circuits in each of the three phases of the machine. The on-line tests prove the possibility of using CNN in the real-time diagnostic system with the high accuracy of incipient stator winding fault detection and classification. The impact of the developed CNN structure and training method parameters on the fault diagnosis accuracy has also been tested.

Stator winding faults are one of the most common faults of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs), and searching for methods to efficiently detect this type of fault and at an early stage of damage is still an ongoing, important topic. This paper deals with the selected methods for detecting stator winding faults (short-circuits) of a permanent magnet synchronous motor, which are based on the analysis of the stator phase current signal. These methods were experimentally verified and their effectiveness was carefully compared. The article presents the results of experimental studies obtained from the spectral analysis of the stator phase current, stator phase current envelope, and the discrete wavelet transform. The original fault indicators (FIs) based on the observation of the symptoms of stator winding fault were distinguished using the aforementioned methods, which clearly show which symptom is most sensitive to the incipient fault of the stator winding of PMSMs.

The significant advantages of permanent magnet synchronous motors, such as very good dynamic properties, high efficiency and power density, have led to their frequent use in many drive systems today. However, like other types of electric motors, they are exposed to various types of faults, including stator winding faults. Stator winding faults are mainly inter-turn short circuits and are among the most common faults in electric motors. In this paper, the possibility of using the spectral analysis of symmetrical current components to extract fault symptoms and the machine-learning-based K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm for the detection and classification of the PMSM stator winding fault is presented. The impact of the key parameters of this classifier on the effectiveness of stator winding fault detection and classification is presented and discussed in detail, which has not been researched in the literature so far. The proposed solution was verified experimentally using a 2.5 kW PMSM, the construction of which was specially prepared for carrying out controlled inter-turn short circuits.

Abstract GM has a vision of future with zero crashes, zero emissions, and zero congestion. Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors will be integral part of an all-electric future, due to their excellent power to mass ratio and smaller size, which promises to deliver the zero emission world. Making sure that these motors do not fail abruptly without warning, will also reduce congestion caused on the roads by such incidents. Stator winding health monitoring presented in this article allows to detect a fault at its early stage, which greatly increases the chances of the customer being able to repair electric drive system before it completely fails. We present approach for detecting shorted turn faults in stator winding of permanent magnet synchronous motor. The approach is based on monitoring negative sequence admittance for certain operating conditions. Timely fault detection also allows to take preventive action to limit damage propagation across the electric drive, thus, reducing repair and warranty costs. The research presented in this article also furthers GM’s strategic initiative to develop Vehicle Health Management (VHM) technologies that positively impact customer ownership experiences and drive their long-term loyalty to GM brands.

Electric vehicles have gained considerable attention recently due to the ever increasing demand for a viable alternative to the current fossil fuel-dependent modes of transportation. These automobiles are reliant on power electronics to generate the energy required for the motor. Traditional converters, namely the V-source (VS) and C-source (CS), are vulnerable to EMI noise, their main circuits cannot be interchangeable and they are either a boost or a buck converter. Therefore, their output voltage is strictly higher or lower than the input voltage. In an effort to negate these drawbacks, new inverters such as the Z-source were conceptualized. This work aims to study the applicability of the Z-source in the traction chain of an electric vehicle in order to feed a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The latter is controlled with field oriented vector control reinforced with a backstepping technique in an attempt to ensure tracking ability and robustness. Energy management is also supported in this article in an effort to optimize the performance of the electric vehicle under different operating conditions. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed system in enhancing the energy management of the vehicle, in addition to its simplicity which can facilitate an eventual implementation using a DSP or a Dspace platform.


This paper focus on various loading conditions onthe Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor and its application using field oriented control technique. Constant torqueapplication irrespective of speed isalso presented. This technique helps in lift and belt conveyors handling constant weight of material per unit time, in pumping and compressing and electric locos. Results of simulation shows that proposed system has high acceleration and deceleration rate with vector control,overall quick and dynamic response as well as excellent controlling ability. The vector control is a excellent technology for analysis and design of PMSM drive system. It provides designing and debugging for practical drive system. Modeling and different kinds of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines are studied and Simulation is carried out in Matlab and performance is studied at different operating conditions.

Abstract Operating temperature is critical to the endurance life of a tire. Fundamental differences between operations of a tire on a flat surface, as experienced in normal highway use, and on a cylindrical test drum may result in a substantially higher tire temperature in the latter case. Nonetheless, cylindrical road wheels are widely used in the industry for tire endurance testing. This paper discusses the important effects of surface curvature on truck tire endurance testing and highlights the impact that curvature has on tire operating temperature. Temperature measurements made during testing on flat and curved surfaces under a range of load, pressure and speed conditions are presented. New tires and re-treaded tires of the same casing construction were evaluated to determine the effect that the tread rubber and pattern have on operating temperatures on the flat and curved test surfaces. The results of this study are used to suggest conditions on a road wheel that provide highway-equivalent operating conditions for truck tire endurance testing.

This work involves an analysis of high-chromium high-temperature deformable wieldable nickel alloys for use in GTE repair assemblies. It is shown that the alloys EP868 (VZh98) and Haynes 230 can be used in welded assemblies with an operating temperature of 800-1100 °C. The alloys Nimonic 81, Nimonic 91, IN 935, IN 939, and Nicrotan 2100 GT also have a high potential for use in welded assemblies. They are characterized by a combination of good weldability, high-temperature strength, and resistance to scaling. There have been conducted studies on high-temperature salt corrosion of model nickel alloys. They allowed establishing the patterns of the impact of base metal alloying with chromium, aluminum, titanium, cobalt, tungsten, molybdenum, niobium, tantalum and rare earth metals on the critical temperature of the start of salt corrosion Tcor and the alloy mass loss. It has been established that alloys with a moderate concentration (13-16%) of chromium can possess satisfactory hightemperature corrosion resistance (HTC resistance) under the operating conditions of ship GTE. The HTC resistance of CrAl-Ti alloys improves upon reaching the ratio Ti/Al ˃ 1. Meanwhile, the ratio Ti/Al ˂ 1 promotes the formation of corrosion products with low protective properties. The positive effect of tantalum on the HTC resistance of alloys is manifested at higher test temperatures than that of titanium, and the total content of molybdenum and tungsten in alloys is limited by the condition 8Mo2 – 2W2 = 89. The presence of refractory elements stabilizes the strengthening phase and prevents formation of the ɳ-phase. However, their excess promotes formation of the embrittling topologically close packed (TCP) phases and boundary carbides of an unfavorable morphology. Based on the studies of the HTC resistance, there has been identified a class of model high-temperature corrosionresistant nickel alloys with a moderate or high chromium content (30%), Ti/Al ˃ 1, and a balanced content of refractory and rare-earth elements.
