Components in electric drives • Motors • DC motors - permanent magnet – wound field • AC motors – induction, synchronous (IPMSM, SMPSM), brushless DC • Applications, cost, environment • Natural speed-torque characteristic is not compatible with load requirements • Power sources • DC – batteries, fuel cell, photovoltaic - unregulated • AC – Single- three- phase utility, wind generator - unregulated INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRIC DRIVES - MODULE 1 • Power processor • To provide a regulated power supply • Combination of power electronic converters • More efficient • Flexible • Compact • AC-DC DC-DC DC-AC AC-AC
Components in electric drives • Control unit • Complexity depends on performance requirement • analog- noisy, inflexible, ideally has infinite bandwidth. • digital – immune to noise, configurable, bandwidth is smaller than the analog controller’s • DSP/microprocessor – flexible, lower bandwidth - DSPs perform faster operation than microprocessors (multiplication in single cycle), can perform complex estimations • Electrical isolation between control circuit and power circuit is needed: • Malfuction in power circuit may damage control circuit • Safety for the operator • Avoid conduction of harmonic to control circuit INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRIC DRIVES - MODULE 1
Components in electric drives • Sensors • Sensors (voltage, current, speed or torque) is normally required for closed-loop operation or protection • Electrical isolation between sensors and control circuit is needed for the reasons previously explained • The term ‘sensorless drives’ is normally referred to the drive system where the speed is estimated rather than measured.
