For simulation purposes and developing controllers, accurate motor parameters are needed to successfully estimate motor performance. Plenty of research has been done on this issue. However, standard procedures are not established yet. This paper concentrates on the measurement of the most critical parameter for permanent magnet motors, namely motor inductances of such motors. Frequency dependence, current dependence and the effect of the power supply waveform on measurements are investigated. Tests are done both at standstill and under running conditions and thus the results of various measurement methods could be compared. Also the effect of the d-axis stator current on the inductance is investigated. Tests are performed on a surface mount PM motor, for which little work appears to be reported as far as measurements are concerned. It is discovered that the inductance measurements with sinusoidal and PWM supply give very close results. It is recognized that during standstill tests measurements are advisable also by reversing the direction of the stator MMF. It is found that direct axis inductance measurements from no-load running test, with stator current direct-axis component in the magnetization direction, gives very close results to standstill tests. Inductance measurements are done also under load. It is discovered that for accurate results this test must be done at a low supply frequency and with a large phase current.

Prediction of motor speed for low cost induction motor drives Özlü Ertan, Hatice Gülçin (2006-05-19) In this paper speed estimation methods for low cost, variable frequency induction motor drives are investigated. Such methods are required to minimize the computational effort and show little parameter dependence. Existing methods have limitations regarding the speed range or are applicable only if the motor size is such that certain requirements are met. Two methods described in the literature are considered. Three new methods of speed estimation are developed to improve their performance. The model used f...
Evaluation and comparison of helicopter simulation models with different fidelities Yılmaz, Deniz; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2008) This thesis concerns the development, evaluation, comparison and testing of a UH-1H helicopter simulation model with various fidelity levels. In particular, the well known minimum complexity simulation model is updated with various higher fidelity simulation components, such as the Peters-He inflow model, horizontal tail contribution, improved tail rotor model, control mapping, ground e ect, fuselage interactions, ground reactions etc. Results are compared with available flight test data. The dynamic model ...
Analysis Window Length Selection For Linear Signal Models Yazar, Alper; Candan, Çağatay (2015-05-19) A method is presented for the selection of analysis window length, or the number of input samples, for linear signal modeling without compromising the model assumptions. It is assumed that the signal of interest lies in a known linear space and noisy samples of the signal is provided. The goal is to use as many signal samples as possible to mitigate the effect of noise without violating the assumptions on the model. An application example is provided to illustrate the suggested method.
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.
Calculation of parameters of single-phase PM motor for design optimization Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Capolino, GA (2005-09-01) This paper presents methods of calculation of parameters of single-phase permanent-magnet (SPPM) motor, in terms of motor dimensions and material properties, which are utilized in the dynamic model of the motor. The intention of the study is to develop means of SPPM performance calculations, which lend themselves to be employed within a mathematical design optimization approach. The calculated parameters are compared with measured values and are shown to be accurate for the purpose of the study.
