Abstract
Modelling, analysis and control of multi-phase electronically commutated DC machines :|ban enabling topology for DC converter fed networks /|cUshindibaba Mupambireyi.
Multiphase electronically commutated dc machine is a new non-conventional machine and converter topology aimed at dc power generation and delivery systems. This thesis presents a detailed analysis of two multiphase electronically commutated dc machine topologies, firstly, the two level topology then the multilevel topology.
Electronic current commutation processes in these topologies are analysed and electrical machine parameters that influence current commutation and the design of the electronic commutator are exposed. The behaviour of the power electronic commutator circuit is shown to be tightly coupled to that of the electrical machine connected to it and to be inductively dominated during current commutation. Performance, efficiency, footprint and cost are all affected by design considerations arising from the interaction of electronic commutator switching devices and electrical machine. Thus there is an incentive to ensure that the designs of power electronic commutator circuits and electrical machines are matched, allowing the requirements of the system as a whole to be satisfied.
Since these machine and converter topologies depart from the conventional machine and converter topologies, an alternative modelling approach that lends itself well to modelling of the machine and its associated power electronics is presented. The models are used to evaluate the operational attributes of the machine and its associated electronic commutator power electronic circuit and the proposed control schemes.
Results from two prototype laboratory drives built to practically access the viability and fully characterise the operational behavior of these topologies together with the simulation results are presented. Conclusions are drawn concerning the proposed topologies and their associated control strategies.
