Active Damping Control Method for Different Dual-Parallel-SPMSM Systems with Single Inverter Reviewed International journal Open Access

Park, C; Doki, S

IEEJ JOURNAL OF INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS Vol. 12 ( 1 ) page： 73 - 83 2023

Authorship：Last author Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：IEEJ Journal of Industry Applications

This paper presents a stabilization method for different dual parallel surface permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM) systems with a single inverter. When a single inverter drives two synchronous motors, disturbance can cause a torque difference between the two motors. This can cause the motor’s electrical and mechanical resonance. Several damping control methods have been proposed to suppress such resonance. However, such methods consider that the parameters of the two motors are identical. When a single inverter controls two motors with different parameters, the damping control performance deteriorates. Besides, the motor’s resonance sound and current ripple increase. To address these problems, this paper proposes a control method for dual-parallel-SPMSM drive systems with a single inverter.

We developed a wearable assistive robot that directly measures the contact force acting between the robot and the human body, aiming to enhance the safety of such wearable devices. The force acting on the body is not directly measured, instead, it is estimated by measuring the torque acting on the robot joint in the wearable assistive robot. Despite the risk of failing to recognize dangerous forces due to modeling errors, the forces actually at work have not been examined. Here, we developed an arm-mounted assistive robot that directly measures the contact force as the distribution information to build a system and evaluate safety; in addition, the contact state between the robot and the human body was discussed. Accordingly, two experiments were conducted with 10 subjects. The first verified the contact force measurement performance of the robot, while the second demonstrated the application of contact force information to check the safety of the robot. The proposed robot can accurately measure the contact force, and the robot movement is safe under general control, for example, using the pain tolerance limit as the safety index. This eliminated the risk of not directly monitoring the forces acting on the surface of the human body. Furthermore, our result have implication for evaluating structural problems of the robot by evaluating contact conditions during movements.

Finite control set-model predictive control (FCS-MPC) has a simple and intuitive optimization procedure. Therefore, FCS-MPC is increasingly being applied to control strategies for electrical drive systems. This article presents a method for servo brake control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) based on FCS-MPC. Accordingly, we propose a reference trajectory introduced in a cost function for brake motions and an alternating procedure with speed control. Moreover, this article clarifies the problem peculiar to servo-brake control using FCS-MPC, i.e., the reduction in tracking performance near the brake position because of the low resolution of the output voltage. In addition to the conventional method, a finite number of smoothed voltages were applied as candidate voltages for FCS-MPC to improve the tracking performance near the brake position. The smoothed voltages can effectively increase the resolution of the output voltage, which results in fewer steady-state errors in angular position tracking during servo brake motion. The simulation and experimental results obtained using a PMSM drive system reveal that the proposed strategy exhibited high performance in tracking the reference target during the operation of servobrakes and the ability to seamlessly alternate between servo brake and motor operations.

Currently, vehicles are equipped with various sensors that can collect a series of driving behavior data while driving. The driving behavior data obtained in this way can be used to analyze the causes of traffic accidents and evaluate driver skills. However, when performing the above analysis, a specific driving scene is defined and driving behavior data for that driving scene is required. On the other hand, the series of driving behavior data obtained during one driving operation is enormous, and it is not easy to pick up desired driving scene data from among them. This research aims to establish a driving scene clustering method for a series of driving behavior data. In this paper, a driving scene is defined as a scene in which road shape and operation are associated, and propose a driving scene clustering method considered road shape. Here, a road map image is acquired from position information obtained from a GPS sensor, and the relationship between the road map image and operation data is clustered based on Coupled-GP-HSMM.

Position sensorless control for Permanent-magnet synchronous motors has been investigated in numerous studies, but the issues of flying start at high speed are still a major problem. In our previous research, the issues on conventional position control are presented, and the reasons for these issues are distinguished as the initial response of the speed estimation. Based on this discussion, an initial speed estimation method is proposed as a solution. In this paper, the whole position sensorless control system with the initial speed estimation is presented, which enables the startup from overall speed, and the evaluation experiments are reported.

Furthermore, the current vector controller for the control model is designed and its performance is confirmed by simulation.

Extended EMF Observer of Dual Three-Phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Operable in Overmodulation Drive Reviewed International journal

Imai, K; Doki, S; Kondo, K; Aoki, Y

IEEJ JOURNAL OF INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS Vol. 12 ( 5 ) page： 901 - 913 2023

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：IEEJ Journal of Industry Applications

This paper proposes a novel extended electromotive force (EEMF) observer of a dual three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (DTP-PMSM) operable to the position sensorless overmodulation drive. The overmodulation drive occurs in current harmonics, and the estimated EEMF also contains harmonic components, leading to ripple error in the estimated position. Based on the vector space decomposition (VSD) utilized in DTP-PMSM current control, the proposed method can decrease the current harmonics in the overmodulation and the harmonic components in the estimated EEMF, and it can also improve position estimation. The effectiveness of the proposed EEMF observer and the improvement in the position estimation were experimentally verified.

Position Sensorless Estimation for Surface Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors Using Eddy Currents with Loads at a Low speed Reviewed International journal

Position sensorless control of surface permanent magnet synchronous motors (SPMSMs) in low-speed regions is challenging because the motor has no magnetic saliency. Several methods using the block commutation drive technique to overcome this problem have been proposed; however, the rotor position is estimated only every 60° owing to the features of the block commutation drive method. Therefore, in this study, we proposed a novel sensorless rotor position estimation method by pasting the conductive nonmagnetic materials on the rotor. When high-frequency voltage is applied, eddy currents flow through the materials and the inductance slightly changes depending on the rotor position. In this study, estimating the continual rotor position from 0° to 360°, in which the sinusoidal vector control commutation is necessary rather than the block commutation drive method, was realized using these inductance changes. Based on the experimental results, we found that the rotor position could be continually estimated from 0 to 360°, which is necessary for sinusoidal vector commutation for an SPMSM with a position estimation error of approximately 6°, although the rotor velocity was low at 1.59 % of the rated velocity and 12 % of the rated load was applied.

IEEE ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION LETTERS Vol. 7 ( 3 ) page： 5827 - 5833 2022.7

Authorship：Last author Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters

In this letter, we propose to turn various existing cloths, especially functional cloths, into actuators by combined embroidery technology and thin McKibben artificial muscles. Most of the textile sensors so far are made by weaving active yarns into each other or into other base cloths. These devices have a limited choice of cloths that can be actuated. We create a prototypical actuator that can be deformed in three dimensions using thin artificial muscles and embroidery techniques on a functional cloth used for hook-and-loop fasteners and textiles that can observe pressure. Our experimental results indicate that the force of the artificial muscles can be transmitted to the cloth using fixation by embroidery and that the actuator can be variously deformed in three dimensions. We show that functional cloths can be made into actuators while maintaining their own functions using the proposed method.

This paper evaluates the performance of contact force-based control with developed wearable assistive robots enabling the contact force measurement between the wearer and the robot. Almost all the conventional assistive robots are controlled with their joint torque measured via torque sensors. These robots have risks exerting excessive force on the wearer because torque sensors cannot detect contact force exerting the wearer. Our research group developed the contact force-based control and evaluated its performance only on the simulation. Also, we developed a prototype of a wearable robot enabling to measure and detect the contact force. In this paper, tracking performance to the wearer's movements, one of the basic performances of wearable robots, is confirmed via the experience. As a result, contact force-based control can operate in full accordance with the command of zero contact force.

Dual three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motors have the characteristics of multi-phase and permanent magnet synchronous motors, whose double- and decoupled-winding models based on the vector space decomposition have been reported. High-frequency signal injection methods enable position sensorless control, parameter identification, and the search for maximum torque per ampere operating points. However, the current control system with high-frequency signal injection for a dual three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor has not yet been sufficiently discussed. This study compares the double- and decoupled-winding models for the current control system with the high-frequency signal injection and proposes a current control system with high-frequency signal injection. Furthermore, this study proposes a position sensorless control method at low speed based on the high-frequency voltage injection as an application of the proposed current control system with the high-frequency signal injection. Experiments verify the effectiveness of the proposed current control system with the high-frequency signal injection and the proposed position sensorless control method.

The authors have been tackling a new teleoperation system with a head-mounted display (HMD) and an omnidirectional camera to reduce the workload of an operator. Some experimental results verified that presentation of AR images based on sensor information could reduce the workload and prevent the deterioration of the task quality due to the transmission delay of images. However, the range of the field of view (FOV) of an HMD is narrower than that of a human. This difference might cause accidents by overlooking hazards that are outside the FOV of the HMD. To solve this problem, the authors propose a new method of AR image presentation based on gaze information not to overlook hazards. Some experimental results using a driving simulator verified the usefulness of the proposed method.

To realize automated drive of a vehicle, more reliability to the motor drive system is required. The three phase dual winding permanent magnet motor drive using two inverters with corresponding voltage supplies is one of the potential candidates for the reliable motor drive system. With the respective voltage supply and winding connected to the inverter, the two motor drive systems are electrically independent. Thus, even if when a failure occurs in one of the systems, the other system can continue the motor drive. However, there is an issue: a voltage drop in one of the voltage supplies reduces the sinusoidal wave region of the drive system as the rotor of the motor is common in the two windings and the back electromotive voltage in the two windings are the same. The motor drive method that enlarges the applied voltage without causing high harmonics under the voltage supply unbalance in the three phase dual winding permanent magnet motor is proposed in this paper.

According to the increase in the required performance of the product, a multi-core processor that can process tasks simultaneously is attracting attention. To efficiently utilize a multi-core processor, a Model-Based Parallelization Tool(MBP) technology has been proposed to automatically generate paral-lelization code in consideration of the causal relationship of the control system. However, parallel processing time and control performance verification in real systems have not been sufficiently investigated. In this paper, to verify the validity of the parallelization code automatically generated by the MBP on a real system, we compare and review the single-code of the function unit by hand and the parallel code automatically generated by the MBP. In addition, we verify the MBP Tool by analyzing parallelization results as well as points to consider when implementing a motor control system.

In this paper, we propose a novel discrete current control scheme for IM (Inductive Motor). Ordinary, a current vector controller is designed by using the dq-axis model, which is induced under the assumption that Park transformation is continuously performed, and the designed controller is discretely implimented. If the sampling period is not short enough compared to the voltage supply frequency during high speed drive, these assumptions do not hold, and the control performance of the current system is greatly degraded, which results in control failure. To solve this problem, we proposed a discrete dq-axis IM model which is effective for low control period and high speed drive, and designed a current vector controller based on this model to improve control performance at high speed drive and confirmed the effect in simulation.

The authors have been aiming to realize a remote driving system with an HMD(Head Mounted Display) and a 360-degree camera to decrease the task load of the operator. Therefore, we have been tackling an operator assistance method of remote driving applying Augmented Reality(AR). In the previously proposed methods, AR video presented to the operator is generated based on sensing information of 3D LiDAR to deal with the communication delay. In this paper, a new generation method of AR image is proposed, in which Gaze information of the operator is used to create a 3D object to draw his attention to a hazard that might cause a traffic accident. The usefulness of the proposed method has been evaluated based on the results of the experiments using a driving simulator which has a scenario of a person jumping out from a park.

This paper proposes a method to drive a single-inverter dual interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) system by using signal injection. Considerable research has been performed to decrease the size and cost of dual motor drive systems by driving two synchronous motors with one inverter. In general, the control is implemented considering one of the two motors. Such systems may become unstable because of the mechanical/electrical resonance occurring in the uncontrolled motor. Therefore, methods to suppress this resonance have been established. Notably, resonance control is challenging to implement at low speeds because the phase of the rotor with sensorless control cannot be easily estimated. To address this problem, signal injection and signal processing methods for such systems was established in this study.
