Electrical Drives
Drives are systems employed for motion control
Require prime movers
Drives that employ electric motors as
prime movers are known as Electrical Drives
INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRIC DRIVES - MODULE 1
Electrical Drives
•
About 50% of electrical energy used for drives
•
Can be either used for fixed speed or variable speed
•
•
75% - constant speed, 25% variable speed (expanding)

INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRIC DRIVES - MODULE 1
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
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
INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRIC DRIVES - MODULE 1
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.

INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRIC DRIVES - MODULE 1
Overview of AC and DC drives
DC motors: Regular maintenance, heavy, expensive, speed limit
Easy control, decouple control of torque and flux
AC motors: Less maintenance, light, less expensive, high speed
Coupling between torque and flux – variable
spatial angle between rotor and stator flux
INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRIC DRIVES - MODULE 1
Overview of AC and DC drives
Before semiconductor devices were introduced (<1950)
• AC motors for fixed speed applications
• DC motors for variable speed applications
After semiconductor devices were introduced (1950s)
• Variable frequency sources available – AC motors in variable
speed applications
• Coupling between flux and torque control
• Application limited to medium performance applications –
fans, blowers, compressors – scalar control
• High performance applications dominated by DC motors –
tractions, elevators, servos, etc

INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRIC DRIVES - MODULE 1
Overview of AC and DC drives
After vector control drives were introduced (1980s)
• AC motors used in high performance applications – elevators,
tractions, servos
• AC motors favorable than DC motors – however control is
complex hence expensive
• Cost of microprocessor/semiconductors decreasing –predicted
30 years ago AC motors would take over DC motors

INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRIC DRIVES - MODULE 1
Elementary principles of mechanics
A drive system that require fast acceleration must have
• large motor torque capability
• small overall moment of inertia
As the motor speed increases, the kinetic energy also increases.
During deceleration, the dynamic torque changes its sign and thus
helps motor to maintain the speed. This energy is extracted from the
stored kinetic energy:
J is purposely increased to do this job !

Thermal considerations
Unavoidable power losses causes temperature increase
Insulation used in the windings are classified based on the
temperature it can withstand.
Motors must be operated within the allowable maximum temperature
Sources of power losses (hence temperature increase):
- Conductor heat losses (i2R)
- Core losses – hysteresis and eddy current
- Friction losses – bearings, brush windage

Electrical machines can be overloaded as long their temperature
does not exceed the temperature limit
Accurate prediction of temperature distribution in machines is
complex – hetrogeneous materials, complex geometrical shapes
