Permanent magnet electric machine with magnetic flux control for
high
survivability application.
We focused on the developing high efficiency fault tolerant drives for use in electric rescue and military vehicles, drones and aircrafts. We have developed a unique design and method of controlling electric machines, based on our experience in developing rocket electric drives.
1. The use of FAPMMs instead of PMMs (conventional PM machines ) allows to avoid demagnetisation of permanent magnets and inverter failure. Also it prevents critical generation currents of battery or hydrogen fuel cell which can occur due to a failure in FOC field weakening control on the D-axis.
Also it provides the reduction of heating of permanent magnets from magnetic flux pulsation in the body of the permanent magnet through a decrease in magnetic flux amplitude proportional to an increase in rotation speed.
We focused on the survivability of the drive and future use in rescue and military mission vehicles
and aircrafts.
Production of our electric machine can help to repurpose the production of automative fuel
equipment, transmissions to the production of motors for electric vehicles and electric hybrids.
2. A pair of magnetic flux controlled FAPMMs combined with an ICE into a propulsion system enables the creation of a fuel-effective electric hybrid for rescue and military applications, drones for long-range flight.
This method allows all propulsion system components to be used at maximum efficiency simultaneously and continuously. The reduction in fossil fuel consumption will constitute from 15 to 25%.
3. The FAPMM can be applied where equal power mechanical response (CPSR) is required over a wide speed range. Moreover, it will allow to create the construction of a full-electric all-wheel drive vehicle transmission, with electrical axle and interaxle differentials. A MATLAB/Simulink study of our FAPMM model showed that it is possible to implement an electrical differential as an analogue to a mechanical one. An all-wheel drive multi-wheel vehicle can be developed without interwheel and interaxle mechanical differentials. Magnetic-flux feedback can be more effective than stabilisation via ABS.
FAPMM can be used in flywheel energy storage systems to increase energy efficiency and
simplify electronics tasks.
In this device, the electrical machine with magnetic flux control must be equally efficient at
the speed close to zero and at up to tens of thousands of revolutions per minute.
With that, the inverter will constantly operate with maximum efficiency due to the close values
of input and output voltages.
The FAPMM will give advantages at mixing and conveying viscous, heavy masses such as liquid concrete. In this application, the FAPMM will allow to avoid the interruption of the concrete feeding process, also preventing disassembling and cleaning of the mixer and a concrete pump, and, therefore, will help avoid the loss of concrete as a raw material.
The FAPMM will increase the efficiency of reserve power generators by ensuring that ICE always operates at optimum efficiency.
