SUMMARY:Recent Advances In Direct Torque and Flux Control of IPMSM Drives
DESCRIPTION:Friday August 11\, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. IEEE Toronto’s Power & Energy Chapter is honoured to invite you to a seminar by professor M. Nasir Uddin\, Senior IEEE member and Professor at Lakehead University\, “Recent Advances In Direct Torque and Flux Control of IPMSM Drives”. \nDay & Time: Friday August 11\, 2017\n10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. \nSpeaker: M. Nasir Uddin\nSenior IEEE member\nProfessor at Lakehead University \nLocation: Conference Room\n147 Dalhousie St\, Toronto\, M5B 2R2 \nContact: Omid Alizadeh \nOrganizers: IEEE Toronto Power & Energy Chapter \nAbstract: With the advancements in magnetic materials and semiconductor technology\, interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) is becoming more and more popular in industrial applications due to its high energy density\, high power factor\, low noise and high efficiency as compared to conventional AC motors. Conventional field oriented vector control (VC) techniques have been widely used for high performance motor drives for many years. As an alternative to VC scheme recently direct torque and flux control (DTFC) technique is developed which is faster and simpler than that of the VC scheme as DTFC doesn’t need any coordinate transformation\, pulse width modulation and current regulators. The DTFC scheme utilizes hysteresis band comparators for both torque and flux controls. Both torque and flux are controlled simultaneously by the selection of appropriate voltage vectors from the inverter. However\, conventional six-sector based DTFC suffers from high torque ripples due to discrete nature of control system and limited voltage vector selection from the inverter. Control techniques have been developed for hysteresis controllers to minimize the torque ripples but the six sectors still limits that improvement. Furthermore\, in a conventional DTFC the reference air-gap flux is assumed constant at the rated value to make the control task easier. This produces erroneous results for high performance drives as the air-gap flux changes with the operating conditions and system disturbances. Moreover\, if the reference air-gap flux is maintained constant\, it is not possible to optimize the efficiency of the drive. \nTherefore\, this talk presents a novel eighteen-sector based DTFC scheme to achieve high dynamic performance with reduced torque ripples as compared to the conventional 6-sector based DTFC. In addition\, a model based loss minimization algorithm is integrated with the proposed DTFC scheme in order to optimize the efficiency along with high dynamic performance. Eighteen sectors are developed to overcome the unbalanced voltage vector selection of conventional six-sector based system that minimizes the torque ripples. Further\, a nonlinear controller with virtual torque and flux controls is also developed for IPMSM drive to minimize the drive torque ripples. The complete IPMSM drives incorporating the developed control techniques are successfully implemented in real-time using digital signal processor (DSP) board-DS1104 for laboratory 5-hp motor. The effectiveness of the proposed control techniques are verified in both simulation and experiment at different operating conditions. It is found that the nonlinear controller based IPMSM drive provides the best performance in terms of torque ripples among all the DTFC schemes. The results show that the proposed nonlinear/18-sector based DTFC scheme would have the potentiality to apply for real-time industrial drives. \nBiography: M. Nasir Uddin received the B.Sc. and M. Sc. degrees both in electrical & electronic engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET)\, Dhaka\, Bangladesh\, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN)\, Canada in 1993\, 1996\, and 2000\, respectively. \nHe has been serving as a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering\, Lakehead University (LU)\, Thunder Bay\, ON\, Canada since August 2001.

For example\, photovoltaic (PV) power production has been doubling every two years\, increasing by an average of 48% each year since 2002. At the same time\, the increased penetration of nonlinear loads may introduce power quality issues to the distribution power system. Such a system with the presence of many power electronics interfaced DG and loads can be considered as an active distribution system\, where the power electronics interfaces can actively participated in the system operation and control with improved efficiency\, reliability and power quality. This talk focuses on the distribution system harmonic control through the DG-grid interfacing converters. The compensation strategies are developed using the virtual impedance control concept. \nBiography:\nDr. Yunwei (Ryan) Li is currently a Professor with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering\, University of Alberta\, Canada.
