Abstract
Rotor eccentricities are one of the common faults in electrical machines. The influence of closed-loop vector controller on electromagnetic characteristics of Fractional-Slot Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (FS-PMSM) with rotor eccentricities is explored. Firstly, the distortion of air-gap flux density introduced by rotor eccentricities is analyzed, and the harmonics of air-gap flux density caused by rotor eccentricities are calculated. Secondly, the characteristics of the fundamentals and harmonics of back electromotive force (EMF) of FS-PMSM with rotor eccentricities are studied based on harmonic analysis. Finally, combined with the three-phase back-EMFs and the voltage equation, the characteristics of three-phase current of FS-PMSM fed by closed-loop vector controller with rotor eccentricities is studied. Thus, the influence of closed-loop vector controller on the torque characteristics of FS-PMSM with rotor eccentricity is studied. The field-circuit coupling simulation shows that static eccentricity causes unbalance in three-phase back-EMFs, but does not change the harmonic order. While dynamic eccentricity not only leads to the unbalance of three-phase back-EMFs, but also introduces even order harmonics. Under the compensation of closed-loop vector controller, the harmonic distribution of current is consistent with back-EMF and the magnitude of in-phase remains unchanged with static eccentricity while fluctuates with dynamic eccentricity. In addition, the torque fluctuation of FS-PMSM caused by rotor eccentricities is obviously reduced.
