  • Model Predictive Current Control of Mutually Coupled Switched Reluctance Machines using a Three-Phase Voltage Source Converter
Title: Model Predictive Current Control of Mutually Coupled Switched Reluctance Machines using a Three-Phase Voltage Source Converter
In this paper, a model predictive current controller (MPCC) is proposed for short-pitched mutually coupled switched reluctance machines (MCSRMs) using a three-phase voltage source converter (VSC) to achieve fast dynamics and advanced current tracking ability. Due to strong mutually coupling between phases, to our knowledge, MPCC for MCSRMs has not been studied yet. A two-order flux-based prediction model of the MCSRMs using the VSC is presented with standard state space equations in discrete-time domain, based on which, the current regulation is achieved by solving a constrained optimization problem. With the receding optimal duty ratio input, MPCC demonstrates good current tracking ability, which is verified by simulations with a three-phase, sinusoidal excitation 12/8 MCSRM. Compared to hysteresis current control, the current response with MPCC bears lower current ripples and a fixed switching frequency.  more » « less

    In this paper, a sliding mode current controller (SMC) is proposed for mutually coupled switched reluctance machines (MCSRMs) using a three-phase voltage source converter (VSC). A generalized state-space model of MCSRMs is first presented using a three-phase voltage source converter. Asymmetric bridge converters and three-phase voltage source converter are compared in terms of switching frequency. A sliding mode current controller is then designed to achieve constant switching frequency and lower sampling rate using a three-phase VSC. The stability analysis of the sliding controller is given to ensure the stability of the controller. Finally, the effectiveness of SMC is verified through simulation studies with a three-phase, sinusoidal excitation 12/8 MCSRM over a wide speed range. Compared to the hysteresis current control, SMC demonstrates a comparable performance in terms of torque ripples, torque root-mean-square tracking errors (RMSE) and current RMSE while achieving a constant switching frequency and much lower sampling rate.

    This paper presents a voltage control design algorithm for a three-phase voltage source converter (VSC) connected to a linear load using a passive LCL filter. The controller is based on an optimal regulator, combined with the integral of the voltage error, which is called LQI that achieves null tracking of the error. The main objective of this paper is to present an algorithm to design a voltage controller through frequency analysis of the singular values of the system, the weight of the states involved in the system, the movement of the closed poles and their respective step response to evaluate performance and robustness against load changes. The simulation results show a satisfactory operation of the voltage controller with fast recovery after a resistive load change

    In this paper, an integral sliding mode current controller (SMC) is proposed for mutually coupled switched reluctance motors (MCSRM) using asymmetric bridge converters aiming to achieve constant switching frequency and lower sampling rate. A generalized state-space model is built and then the design of a sliding mode controller along with the stability analysis of the closed-loop system are presented. The effectiveness of SMC is verified using simulation studies with a three-phase, sinusoidal excitation 12/8 MCSRM over a wide speed range. Compared to the hysteresis current control, the proposed SMC based design approach demonstrates a comparable response in terms of currents ripples, the root-mean-square error of current and torque while achieving a constant switching frequency and lower sampling rate.

    Abstract

    We present a theory that explains the resonance effect of the vibrational strong coupling (VSC) modified reaction rate constant at the normal incidence of a Fabry–Pérot (FP) cavity. This analytic theory is based on a mechanistic hypothesis that cavity modes promote the transition from the ground state to the vibrational excited state of the reactant, which is the rate-limiting step of the reaction. This mechanism for a single molecule coupled to a single-mode cavity has been confirmed by numerically exact simulations in our recent work in [J. Chem. Phys. 159, 084104 (2023)]. Using Fermi’s golden rule (FGR), we formulate this rate constant for many molecules coupled to many cavity modes inside a FP microcavity. The theory provides a possible explanation for the resonance condition of the observed VSC effect and a plausible explanation of why only at the normal incident angle there is the resonance effect, whereas, for an oblique incidence, there is no apparent VSC effect for the rate constant even though both cases generate Rabi splitting and forming polariton states. On the other hand, the current theory cannot explain the collective effect when a large number of molecules are collectively coupled to the cavity, and future work is required to build a complete microscopic theory to explain all observed phenomena in VSC.
