Drives - Motor
• Obtain power from electrical sources
• DC motors - Permanent Magnet or wound-field (shunt,
separately excited, compound, series)
• AC motors – Induction, Synchronous (wound –rotor, IPMSM,
SPMSM), brushless DC
• Selection of machines depends on many factors, e.g.:
Electrical
energy
Mechanical
energy
Motor
• application
• cost
• efficiency
• environment
• type of source available

Drives – Power Source
• Provides energy to electric motors
• Regulated (e.g: utility) or Unregulated (e.g. : renewable
energy)
• Unregulated power sources must be regulated for high
efficiency – use power electronic converters
• DC source
• batteries
• fuel cell
• photovoltaic
• AC source
• single- or three- phase utility
• wind generator

Drives – Power Processing Unit
• Provides a regulated power supply to motor
• Enables motor operation in reverse, braking and variable
speeds
• Combination of power electronic converters
 Controlled rectifiers, inverters –treated as ‘black boxes’ with
certain transfer function
More efficient – ideally no losses occur
Flexible - voltage and current easily shaped through
switching control
Compact
Several conversions possible: AC-DC , DC-DC, DC-AC, AC-AC

 DC to AC:

Drives – Control Unit
• Supervise operation
• Enhance overall performance and stability
• Complexity depends on performance requirement
• Analog Control – noisy, inflexible, ideally infinite bandwidth
• Digital Control – immune to noise, configurable, smaller
bandwidth (depends on sampling frequency)
• DSP/microprocessor – flexible, lower bandwidth, real-time
• DSPs perform faster operation than microprocessors
(multiplication in single cycle), complex estimations and
observers easily implemented

Drives – Component Selection
• Several factors affecting drive selection:
• Steady-state operation requirements
• nature of torque-speed profile, speed regulation, speed range,
efficiency, quadrants of operations, converter ratings
• Transient operation requirements
• values of acceleration and deceleration, starting, braking and reversing
performance
• Power source requirements
• Type, capacity, voltage magnitude, voltage fluctuations, power factor,
harmonics and its effect on loads, ability to accept regenerated power
• Capital & running costs
• Space and weight restrictions
• Environment and location
• Efficiency and reliability

DC or AC Drives?
DC Drives
AC Drives
(particularly Induction Motor)
Motor • requires maintenance
• heavy, expensive
• limited speed (due to
mechanical construction)
• less maintenance
• light, cheaper
• high speeds achievable (squirrel-
cage IM)
• robust
Control Unit Simple & cheap control even
for high performance drives
• decoupled torque and flux control
• Possible implementation using
single analog circuit
Depends on required drive
performance
• complexity & costs increase with
performance
• DSPs or fast processors required in high
performance drives
Performance Fast torque and flux control Scalar control – satisfactory in some
applications
Vector control – similar to DC drives

Torque Equation for Rotating
Systems
 Motor drives a load through a transmission system (eg. gears,
V-belts, crankshaft and pulleys)
 Load may rotate or undergo translational motion
 Load speed may be different from motor speed
 Can also have multiple loads each having different speeds,
some may rotate and some have translational motion

 If the motor is rated at 19kW, is the motor sufficient to drive
the two loads?
 The translational motion load now has to lift a weight of 1200
kg at the same speed of 1.5m/s. Is the motor still capable to
drive both loads at the same motor speed of 1420 rpm?

Components of Load Torque
• Load torque can be divided into:
• Friction torque – present at motor shaft and in various
parts of load.
• Viscous friction torque Tv – varies linearly with speed (Tv  m).
Exists in lubricated bearings due to laminar flow of lubricant
• Coulomb friction torque TC – independent of speed. Exists in
bearings, gears coupling and brakes.
• Windage torque Tw – exists due to turbulent flow of air or
liquid.
• Varies proportional to speed squared (Tw  m
2).
• Mechanical Load Torque TL - torque to do useful
mechanical work.

Mechanical Load Torque
• Torque to do useful mechanical work TL – depends on
application.
• Load torque is function of speed
• where k = integer or fraction

Steady State Stability
 Drives operate at steady-state speed (when Te = TL) only if the
speed is of stable equilibrium.
 A disturbance in any part of drive causes system speed to
depart from steady-state point.
 Steady-state speed is of stable equilibrium if:
 system will return to stable equilibrium speed when
subjected to a disturbance
 Steady-state stability evaluated using steady-state T-
characteristic of motor and load.
