Objectives
By the end of this section, you should be able to:
1. Explain the concept of general control of motor drives.
2. Explain the concept of designing servo motor drives.
3. Explain the design concept of variable speed motor drives.
4. Select the components and electric motor for motor drives.
Introduction
Converting power from one form to another form and using it to control the motionof a motor are the two majoring applications of power electronics. The operationmust be as efficient as possible because large amount of power is being controlledand if there is a small percentage loss, it would mean that the circuit may overheatand fail. Accurate control of power is required to assure that the load is properly
serviced and the source is not overloaded. Rapid switching of large current andvoltage generates considerable amount of electromagnetic interference that mayshorten the life span of the electronic drive circuit or even damage it permanently.Thus, careful design of drive circuit and implementation are required to avoid thisnoise interference affecting this circuit.
A general block diagram for the control of motor drives is shown in Figure 4.1.The system basically consists of an electric motor, a power electronic converter, anda process requirement and feedback to the process control computer. The processcontrol computer which is based on feedback, determines the requirements of theparameters of motor such as time of response, accuracy etc., which are controlled
within the operating requirements to the motor drives. Take for example; a servo-drive for servo motor drive is needed for accurately control the robot and adjustablespeed drive is needed for air conditioner, which is based on requirements like coldnessof the room, outside temperature etc. As you have learnt earlier, power electronicconverter converts the required power needed for driving the motor.

In servo applications of motor drives, the response time and accuracy with whichthe motor follows the speed and position commands are extremely important. Thus,the servo motor drives require speed or position feedback for a precise control likethe one shown in Figure 4.2. The speed and/or position sensor is part of the drivesystem because the sensor will feedback signal to the controller telling the speedand position of the motor.

For large number of applications, the accuracy and response time of the motor tofollow the speed command is not important. Thus, one can see that a feedback loopto control the process is outside the motor drive. Unlike the servo motor drives, thesensor is mounted in the motor to detect the position and motion of the motor shaft.
An example of such motor drives is shown in Figure 4.3. The figure basically showsthe block diagram for an adjustable speed drive for an air conditioner. The speed ofthe drive is depending on the desired temperature, measured outside temperatureand humidity, and indoor temperature and humidity.

Criteria for selecting drive components
For a motor drive system to perform to optimum condition, the matching ofmechanical load and drive components are important. We shall discuss five criteriafor selecting components for motor drives. They are matching the motor and theload; thermal consideration for motor; matching the motor and the power electronicconverter; switching frequency and the motor inductance; selection of speed andposition sensors; and servo drive; and current limiting in adjustable speed drives.
Matching the motor and the load
Before selecting the drive components, the load parameters and requirements suchas the load inertia, maximum speed, speed range and direction must be known. Themotion profile like the speed (L) and position (L) are a function of time such aswhat has been shown in Figure 4.4 (a)and Figure 4.4 (b), which are important andneeded to be specified.

By means of mechanical modelling, one can obtain a load-torque profile. If theprimarily inertial load with negligible damping is known, the load-torque (TL) profilecorresponding to the speed (L) profile as shown in Figure 4.4 (a)can be known andis shown in Figure 4.4 (c). From the profile, the peak torque and maximum speedrequirement for the motor are established.
One way to drive a rotating load is to couple it directly to the motor. In such adirect coupling, the problem and losses associated with a gearing can be avoided.
Another way is using gear mechanism like what is shown in Figure 4.5. Assuming
the energy efficiency of the gear to be 100%, then the torque on two sides of thegear are related as

State the criteria for selecting motor drive component.
Thermal consideration for motor
Besides the parameter criteria selection mentioned in the previous subsection suchas the load-torque, electromagnetic torque (Tem) produced by the motor, a functionof time for the motor, which is proportional to motor current can be known. It istrue provided that the flux in the air gap of the motor is kept constant. The typicalillustration of electromagnetic torque (Tem) of motor and its corresponding motorcurrent are shown in Figure 4.7.

Figure 4.7
The motor current as shown in Figure 4.7 (b)is the dc current during various timeinterval for a dc motor. For an ac motor, the motor current shown is the approximatedrmsac current drawn at various time interval.
The power loss (PR) in the winding resistance (RM) of the motor due to the motorcurrent is a large part of the total motor losses, which is eventually converted into heatthat will heat up the motor. The resistive loss is proportional to the current square(Irms) and hence it is also proportional to electromagnetic torque (Tem) square. For arepetitive motor current waveform like the one shown in Figure 4.7 (b)with period(tperiod) comparable with motor thermal time constant, the heating and maximumtemperature rise of the motor can be calculated based on the resistive power loss(PR) averaged over the time period (tperiod). Thus, the power loss (PR) is defined as
PR= RMI2rms (4.6)
where the square of rmscurrent (I2rms) is defined as
m
I k2t k
I2
rms=k = 1
(4.7) t period
where I2kis the instantaneous rmscurrent square for a specific time interval tk.

Thus, the average power loss (PR) due to resistive winding (RM) of the motor is
m
I k2t k
PR= RMk = 1
(4.8) t period
m is equal to 6 for the example shown in Figure 4.7 (b).
Since the motor current is proportional to the motor torque (T em), the rmsmotortorque square (T2em, rms) over a period (tperiod) is defined as
m I k
2t k
T2em, rms= k1k = 1 (4.9)
t period
Comparing equations (4.7) and (4.9), it yields that rms motor torque square (T2em,rms) is equal to equation (4.10).
T2em, rms= k1I2rms (4.10)
where k1is the constant.
From equations (4.6) and (4.10), it yields that the average power loss (P R) is equalto expression (4.11).
PR= k2T2em, rms (4.11)
where k2is constant, which is k2=RM.
k1
In addition to power loss (PR) due to winding of the motor, there are other powerlosses, which are friction and windage (PFW), PEHdue to eddy current and hysteresiswithin the motor lamination, and Psdue to switching frequency ripple in motor
current, and stray power loss (Pstay) etc. To sum the total power loss (P loss), equation(4.12) accounts for them.
Ploss= PR+ PFW+ PEH+ Ps+ Pstray (4.12)
Under steady state condition, the motor temperature rise () is in degree centigradeand it is equal to be
= PlossRTH (4.13)
where RTHis the thermal resistance of the motor in centigrade per watt. In general,the power loss like (PR) is lower with the increase speed of motor with constantthermal resistance (RTH). If the motor is installed with self-cool fan, then the thermalresistance (RTH) of the motor would be reduced, pushing the motor to operate far

Matching the motor with the power electronic converter
Power electronic design and its control depend on the type of motor to be driven.In general, power electronic converter provides a controlled voltage to the motor inorder to control the current flowed in the motor, hence the electromagnetic torqueproduced by the motor. We shall discuss a few aspects to be considered for motorin power electronic.
The power electronic needs to be able to supply sufficiently enough current for themotor since large amount of peak current is required. A large current shall meanlarge junction temperature of the electronic device. This would result in powerloss within the semiconductor device. Large current shall also mean that the heatgenerated can be large, affecting the temperature of the motor. If the duration ofthe peak current is small as compared with the thermal time constant of the motor,then it is considered safe for the motor.
Motor irrespective of dc or ac type, it produces back electro motive force emf (e) that
opposes the voltage (V) applied to it. The back emf can be viewed from a simplifiedcircuit of a motor drive as in Figure 4.8.

Hence, the control of torque shall be the rate of current (di ), which is defined as dt
di=
V e(4.14)
dt L
From equation (4.14), one can see that the ability to control the motor current isto ensure that the output voltage (V) is greater than the back emf(e).
Switching frequency and motor inductance
In servo motor drive, the motor current should be able to respond quickly to the loadrequirement. Thus, it requires low inductance value as you can see from equation(4.14). In the steady state, the ripple current should be small so that it can preventpower loss (Ps) due to switching. But in order to achieve this, it requires largeinductance value. Thus, there is a contradiction whereby a compromised inductanceshould be selected for motor and switching frequency.
Selection of speed and position
In selection of speed and position sensors, direct or indirect coupling, sensor inertia,
possibility and avoidance of torsional resonance, and maximum sensor speed are to beconsidered. To control the instantaneous speed within a specified range, the ripple inthe speed sensor should be small. This is needed to prevent error in the incrementalposition encoder, which is often used to measure the speed and position. If suchsensor is used at low speed, the number of pulse output per revolution should belarge to provide instantaneous speed measurement with sufficient accuracy. Similarly,accurate position information will require an incremental position encoder withlarge number of pulse output per revolution.

Servo drive control and current limiting
In most practical applications of servo drive control, a very fast response to a sudden
change in position or speed is needed, in which it requires a large peak current andtorque. This may be prohibitive in terms of cost of converter. Therefore, convertercurrent is limited by the controller. The design usually contains inner current loopwhereby the actual current is measured and compared with reference current. Theerror between them is then used to control the converter output current by using acurrent-regulated modulation. A block diagram illustrating such control is shownin Figure 4.9.
A tachometer registers the speed of the motor and feedbacks to the proportionalintegrated (PI) amplifier. If the actual speed is higher than the reference speed, thenthe PI amplifier will adjust the speed and send the torque reference to the torque-
to-computer so that a command can be issued to slow down the motor. Likewise,if the speed is too low, the torque-to-computer will issue command to increase thespeed of the motor.
Figure 4.9 Block diagram of control of servo drives with inner current loop
Current limiting in adjustable speed drives
In adjustable speed drives, the current is kept from exceeding its limit by meansof limiting the rate of change of control voltage with time. A block diagram of themotor drives illustrating the ramping limiter to limit the motor current is shownin Figure 4.10. It mainly consist of a ramp limiter that has the function to controlthe voltage supply to power electronic converter.

4.2 dc Motor Drives
Objectives
By the end of this section, you should be able to:
1. Examine the equivalent circuit of a dc motor.
2. Analyse the characteristics of permanent magnetic dc motor.
3. Apply the design concept to increase the power of a dc motor with excited wind stator.
4. Interpret the effect of armature current on the performance of a dc motor.
5. Discriminate between a normal dc motor and a dc servo motor.
Introduction
Traditionally, dc motor drives have been used for speed and position controlapplications. Nowadays, the use of ac servo drives application is increasing. In spite
of that, in application where an extremely low maintenance is required, dc drivescontinue to be used because of their low initial cost and excellent drive performance.
Equivalent circuit of dc motor
In a dc motor, the magnetic flux (f) is established by the stator either by meansof permanent magnet like what is shown in Figure 4.11 (a), whereby the magneticflux stays constant or by means of field winding as shown in Figure 4.11 (b). If themagnetic saturation in the flux path can be neglected, then the magnetic field (f)can be expressed in terms of field current (If) by equation (4.15).
f= kfIf (4.15)
where kfis the constant of proportionality.

The rotor located in the centre slot of the motor is called armature winding. Ithandles the electric power. This is in contrast to most ac motor, where the power inhandling winding is on the stator for the ease of handling large amount of power.
The electromagnetic torque of a dc motor is produced by the interaction of the field(f) and the armature current (ia), which follows equation (4.16).
Tem= ktfia (4.16)
where ktis the torque constant of the motor. In the armature circuit, a back emf(ea)
is produced by the rotation or armature conductor at speed (M) in the presenceof a field flux (f). Thus,
ea= kefM (4.17)
where keis the voltage constant of the motor.
The electrical power (Pe) is equation to eaia, which is
Pe= eaia= kefMia (4.18)and the mechanical power (Pm) is equal to
Pm= MTem= ktfMia (4.19)
In practice, a controllable voltage (Vt) is applied to the armature terminals toestablish the current ia. Therefore, the armature current (ia) in the armature circuitis determined by the source voltage (Vt) and the back emf(ea), the resistance (Ra) ofthe armature winding and inductance (La) of the armature. Thus, the supply voltage
(Vt) can expressed as
Vt= ea+ Raia+ Ldia (4.20)

In a continuous steady state, the current of the armature (Ia) should not be exceedingits rate value and therefore the torque should not exceed the rated torque as shownin Figure 4.14. This is the illustration of the limitation of a permanent magnet
dc motor, whereby the maximum angular speed of the motor is limit by the ratedangular speed of the motor. Figure 4.15shows the steady state operating limits ofthe torque and current, and it also shows the terminal voltage required as a functionof speed and the corresponding voltage across the armature (Ea).

dc motor with a separately excited field winding
Permanent magnetic dc motor has limitation in terms of power delivery and angularspeed. The limitations can be overcome if the field (f) is produced by field wind ofstator, whereby the stator is supplied with a dc current (If) as shown in Figure 4.11(b). This way offers the most flexible in controlling the dc motor, whereby the fieldwinding is excited by a separately controlled dc voltage (Vf) as shown in Figure 4.16.

At constant magnetic field (f), the angular speed (M) of motor increases linearlywith the supply voltage (Vt). At the right hand side of the graph, it shows at constantpower region, the magnetic field is decreasing. This is the region whereby the angularspeed is kept increasingly operating beyond its maximum rating. The magnetic field(f) has to be decreased while keeping input supply voltage (Vt) constant to maintain
a constant voltage (Ea) across the armature. It is in the constant power region becausenot only the supply voltage (Vt) is kept constant, the armature current is (I a) alsokept constant. Note that in the magnetic field weak region, the angular speed of themotor may exceed 50 100% of its rated speed.
Effect of armature current
In sc motor drives, the output voltage of the power electronic converter containsan ac ripple voltage superimposed on the dc voltage. Ripple voltage in the terminal
voltage can lead to ripple in armature current (Ia) with the listed effects here. Theyare form factor and torque pulsation.
Form factor
The form factor of the dc motor armature current is defined as:
Form factor =Ia(rms) (4.27)
Ia(average)
-
7/26/2019 Power Electronics and Drives U4
28/58
24 WAWASAN OPEN UNIVERSITYTEL 202/05 Power Electronics and Drives
Based on equation (4.27), the form factor will be unity provided the ripple currentripple (ia) is purely dc. The more ripple armature current (ia) derivates from pure dc,the higher will be the form factor. The higher the form factor will result in higher
power loss because power depends on the rmssquare of the ripple current and theresistance of armature winding. The end result is higher power loss, which shallmean high heating causing loss in motor efficiency.
If the form factor is much higher than one, this implies that the peak armaturecurrent is much larger than its average armature current, which can cause excessivearcing in the commutator and brushes. To avoid this serious damage to the motorthat is caused by peak armature current, the motor has to derate. This shall meanthat the maximum power or torque has to keep below the rating in order to keepthe temperature below its specified limit and also to protect the commentator andbrushes.
Activity 4.4
If the rms current of the armature is 2.0 A and the average currentis 1.9 A, calculate the form factor of the armature current of thedc motor.
Torque pulsation
Since the instantaneous electromagnetic torque (Tem) developed by the motor isproportional to the instantaneous armature current (Ia), a ripple current (ia) resultsin a ripple in the torque and also the angular speed if the inertia is not large. A highfrequency torque ripple will generally have lesser angular speed fluctuation thanthe low frequency ripple. This is because the filter circuit at the output of powerelectronic is a low pass filter, whereby high frequency ripple voltage will be attenuated.
Activity 4.5
If the ripple current of armature is too high, what will be the effecton the angular frequency of the motor? Being an engineer, what isyour suggestion to solve this problem?

Servo drives
As mentioned earlier, in servo applications, the speed and accuracy of response
are important. In spite of the increasing popularity of ac servo motor, dc servodrives are still widely used today. If it is not because of the disadvantages of havingcommutator and brushes, the dc motor would be ideal for servo application. Thisis because the instantaneous electromagnetic torque (Tem) can be linearly controlledby the armature current (Ia).
Figure 4.18shows a servo dc motor operating in a closed-loop to deliver controlledspeed and position. The position and speed transducer is used to measure theposition and speed of the load. The information is used to feedback to the positionand speed controller. It is then compared with the position and speed reference fortaking appropriate action. This circuit also contains the armature current monitoringmeasurement that is used to feedback to the current controller for ensuring that themotor is not operating beyond its rated value.

Objectives
By the end of this section, you should be able to:
1. Describe the basic principle of an inductor motor.
2. Describe per phase representation of an induction motor.
3. Describe the equivalent circuit of an inductor motor.
4. Design ac synchronous motor drives.
5. Describe and analyse per phase representation of a synchronous motor.
6. Describe and analyse the equivalent circuit of a synchronous motor.
Introduction
In this section, you will learn two types of ac motor drives, which are inductor motor
drive and synchronous motor drives.ac induction motor, which is an asynchronous motor, is the workhorse of industrybecause of its low cost and rugged construction. When operated directly with 50 Hzac utility input power, it can operate at a nearly constant angular speed. However,by means of power electronic converter, it is possible to vary the angular speed ofthe motor. The inductor motor drives can be classified into two broad categoriesdepending on their applications, which are adjustable speed drives and servo drives.
ac synchronous motor is used as servo drives in the applications such as computerperipheral equipment, robotic, and adjustable speed drives in a variety of applications
such as load proportional capacity-modulated heat pump, large fan, and compressor.
Induction motor drives
Lets begin the study of inductor motor drives by understanding the behaviour ofthis motor type and how it is used to control its angular speed (M). Two simpleexamples of an inductor motor driving a centrifugal pump are shown in Figure4.22. Showing in the figures are the constant speed drive type and adjustable-speeddrive type.

(a) Constant speed drive type
(b) Adjustable-speed drive type
Figure 4.22 Centrifugal pump
For the constant speed pump shown in Figure 4.22 (a), it would cause energy
loss across the throttling valve if the flow rate is to be reduced by partially closingthe throttling valve. However, for the adjustable-speed design type shown inFigure 4.22 (b), the desired flow rate can be controlled by eliminating the energy lossacross the throttling valve by adjusting the motor speed. For this motor-load systemtype, the input power decreased significantly as the angular speed is also decreasedto reduce the flow rate. The decrease in power can be calculated by looking at thetorque of centrifugal pump, where the torque is
Torque k1(speed)2 (4.45)
Thus, the power requirement by the pump from the motor is defined by
Power k2(speed)2 (4.46)
where k1and k2are constant of proportionality.
Majority applications of induction motor involve three-phase operation. Thus,the stator of an induction motor is designed to consist of three phase windingsdistributed in the stator slots. These windings are displaced by 120 in space withrespect to each other. If a balanced set of three phase sinusoidal signals of frequency
(f) are applied to the stator, it results in balanced sets of current, which establishesa flux density distribution (Bag) in the air gap with a constant amplitude and ratoteswith a constant angular speed in which it is called synchronous angular speed (s)radian per second. The synchronous angular speed (s) in ap-pole motor suppliedby frequency (f) can be obtained from equation (4.47).

The synchronous angular frequency (s) should be synchronised with the suppliedfrequency (f) of the applied voltage and current to the windings of stator. In termsof revolution per minute (rpm), the synchronous speed (ns) should be
ns=60 s =
120f (4.48)
2 p
The air gap flux (ag) caused by the flux density distribution (Bag) rotates at a
synchronous speed relative to the stationary stator winding. As the result, counteremf called air gap voltage (Eag) is induced in each of the stator phase frequency (f).This can be illustrated by means of the equivalent circuit for per-phase voltage shownin Figure 4.23. Vsis per phase voltage, which is line voltage divided by 3, Eagisthe air gap voltage, Rsis the resistance of the stator winding, and Llsis the leakageinductance of the stator winding. The magnetised current component (Im) of thestator current (Is) establishes the air gap flux. From the magnetic circuit analysis,it can be seen that
Nsag= Lmim (4.49)
where Nsis the equivalent number of turn per phase of stator winding and Lmis themagnetised inductance as shown in Figure 4.23.
From Faradays law, the air gap voltage (eag), which is the counter emf, is equal to
eag= Nsd ag (4.50)
dt
With the air gap flux (ag) links to the stator phase winding, the air gap flux is
ag(t) = agsint and the air gap voltage (eag) is equal to
eag= Nsagcost (4.51)
after differentiating ag(t) = as sint to getd ag and then substituting it into
dt
equation (4.50).
In terms of rmsvalue, the air gap voltage (eag) has an rmsvalue of
Eag= k3fag (4.52)
where k3is a constant depending on the number of turns of the stator winding andEagdenotes the rmsvalue of air gap voltage.

Figure 4.23 The equivalent circuit per-phase representation of an induction motor
If the motor is rotating at the synchronous speed (s), then there will not be anyrelative motion between the air gap flux and the rotor. Thus, there will not haveany induced rotor voltage, rotor current, and rotor torque. At any other angularspeed (r) of the rotor in the same direction of the air gap flux rotation, the motoris slipping with respect to the air gap at a relative speed called the slip angularspeed (sl). A relationship between the synchronous angular speed (s) and betweenother angular speed and slip angular speed is given by
sl= s r (4.53)
If the slip angular speed (sl) is normalised with synchronous speed is called slip(s), it is defined as
Slip (s) per unit =Slip angular speed
= s r (4.54)
Synchronous speed s
Therefore, from equations (4.53) and (4.54), the slip angular speed (sl) of air gapflux with respect to the motor is calculated from equation (4.55).
Slip angular speed (sl) = s r= ss (4.55)
From Faradays law, the induced voltage in the rotor circuit is at the slip frequency(fsl) and it is proportional to the slip speed (sl). Thus,
fsl= slf= sf (4.56)
s
The induced emf(Er) obtained in the rotor conductor can be obtained by replacingfin equation (4.52) by the slip frequency (fsl). If one assumes that squirrel-cage
motor is replaced by a three-phase short-circuited winding with the same equivalentnumber of turns (Ns) per phase, one gets
Er= k3fslag (4.57)
-
7/26/2019 Power Electronics and Drives U4

35UNIT 4Electrical drive system
Since the rotor squirrel-cage winding is short circuited by the end rings, the inducedvoltages at the slip frequency result in a rotor current (Ir) at the slip frequency (fsl),which is equal to
Er= Rs Ir +j2fslLlsIr (4.58)
where Rr and Llr are the resistance and the leakage inductance of the per-phaseequivalent rotor winding. Since sl + r = s, the slip frequency rotor currentproduces a field that rotates at the slip speed with respect to the rotor, and atthe synchronous speed with respect to the stator. The interaction of agand fieldproduced by the rotor current results in an electromagnetic torque. Losses in therotor winding resistance are
Pr= 3RrI2r (4.59)
Take equation (4.58) and multiply it byf
and using equation (4.52) and equation fsl
(4.57), it yields equation (4.60).

Thus, as it is shown in Figure 4.23, the equivalent circuit of per-phase representationof an induction motor, the loss in rotor resistance and the per-phase electromechanical
