Multiphase brushless dc (BLDC) machines are implemented in electric and hybrid electric vehicle applications due to their high torque/power density, good fault tolerance capability, and low torque ripple. Moreover, the per-phase converter rating can be reduced by increasing the phase number. However, the number of magnetic couplings between phases increases with the phase number, and these magnetic couplings can have an important influence on the machine performance. Therefore, they need to be considered in simulation models and their effect should be considered in control algorithms. Accordingly, the objective of this paper is to analyze the effect of magnetic phase couplings on the performance of multiphase BLDC machines with an overlapping phase winding configuration. First, a detailed electric machine model, in which the machine parameters that are determined by 2-D finite-element method analysis are implemented, is developed. Using this model, the influence of mutual inductances on phase current characteristics with pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) and pulsewidth modulation (PWM) controls is investigated. In addition, a novel PAM-based control strategy, in which the effect of phase mutual inductances is considered, is proposed and analyzed. After demonstrating the influence of mutual inductances on phase current characteristics, the dependence of mutual inductances on the winding configuration is studied. Finally, experimental results with the PAM control and the new PAM-based control are used to validate the simulation results.

Comparison of Matrix Converter Induction Motor Drive Control Methods Lettl, Jiri; Kuzmanovic, Dragan; Fligl, Stanislav (2011-09-10) In this paper, the implementation of the Field Oriented Control and the Direct Torque Control in matrix converter supplied induction motor drives is analysed, and compared with the implementation in drives supplied by the Voltage Source Inverter. The analysis is accompanied by the results of numerical simulations and experimental implementations of these two control methods.
Performance and thermal reliability comparisons of 2-level and 3-level NPC voltage source inverters for electric vehicle drive applications Madan, Alican; Bostancı, Emine; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) Two-level and multilevel inverters are widely used in electric vehicle drive applications with different switching techniques. Selection of the topology and the switching technique for electric vehicle drives are getting more important with the trend of designing more compact and more efﬁcient drive circuitry. Reliability of semiconductors in power electronics are under investigation in recent years as well. In this thesis, a multidimensional comparison of two common topologies for a 120 kW electric vehicle...
Measurement of brushless dc motor characteristics and parameters and brushless dc motor design Şahin, İlker; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) The permanent magnet motors have become essential parts of modern motor drives recently because need for high efficiency and accurate dynamic performance arose in the industry. Some of the advantages they possess over other types of electric motors include higher torque density, higher efficiency due to absence of losses caused by field excitation, almost unity power factor, and almost maintenance free construction. With increasing need for specialized PM motors for different purposes and areas, much effort...
Design of synchronous reluctance machines with a wide speed range Yılmaz, Yusuf Basri; Bostancı, Emine; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-9-10) Synchronous reluctance machines (SynRMs) are a good alternative for traction and industrial applications due to their good power density, low cost and high efficiency. However, they suffer from high torque ripple, low power factor and poor high speed performance due to their singly excited nature. To overcome these challenges, rotor geometries are optimized to get a low torque ripple and ferrite magnets are inserted in the flux barriers to get a higher power factor and a better high speed performance. Thi...
EFFECTS OF FIELD PLATE ON THE MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE AND TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION FOR GaN HEMT DEVICES Kara, Dogacan; Donmezer, Nazli; Canan, Talha Furkan; ŞEN, ÖZLEM; ÖZBAY, Ekmel (2016-07-14) Field plated GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) are widely preferred amongst other GaN HEMT devices because of their ability to regulate electric field at high power densities. When operated at high power densities, GaN HEMTs suffer significantly from the concentrated heating effects in a small region called hotspot located closer to the drain edge of the gate. Although; the stabilizing effect of field plate on the electrical field distribution in HEMTs is known by researchers, its effect on tem...
