Back to upcoming seminars


Monday & Tuesday, 16+17/12

Two days dedicated to:

"Network Integration of Renewable Energy Sources"

Welcome to two days dedicated to network integration of renewable energy sources!

On Monday 16 December at 13:15hr, room M:B (M-huset, Ole Römers väg 1, Lund), Ph.D. candidate "Ingmar Leisse" defends his doctoral dissertation:

"Efficient Integration of Distributed Generation in Electricity Distribution Networks - Voltage Control and Network Design"

External examiner: Prof. Sami Repo

Examination committee: Prof. Ola Carlson
Assoc. prof. Birgitte Bak Jensen
Prof. Lennart Söder
Dr. Daniel Karlsson (backup)

In his thesis Ingmar Leisse shows how the voltage in distribution networks can be controlled to permit efficient connection of more wind turbine generators or PV units. New electricity meters form a vital resource in the work, which has been evaluated in cooperation with E.ON Elnät using both simulations of existing networks and a pilot installation in Småland.

In connection with the Ph.D. defense I take the opportunity to also arrange a half-day seminar on network integration of renewable energy sources on Tuesday 17 December. The seminar is supported by the Swedish IEEE PE/PEL Chapter.

Licentiate Thesis Presentation:

"Thermal Design of Electrical Machine - Investigation and Evaluation of Cooling Performances"

Zhe Huang

Abstract:
This thesis work focuses on thermal design of permanent magnet synchronous electrical machines (PMSM) used in hybrid vehicles (HEVs) or zero emission vehicles (ZEVs). Electrical machines in such applications are usually designed with high power density requirements but within limited spaces, which lead to high rate of heat generation but low rate of heat dissipation. Therefore, highly efficient thermal design or cooling methods are needed.

Firstly, the thesis discusses different possible approaches to improve the thermal design of electrical machines, which by either decreasing heat generations or increasing heat dissipations. Among different options, direct cooling system is studied further and compared to indirect cooling system.

Secondly, in this thesis work, three simulation approaches namely Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Lumped Parameter Method (LPM) are applied to different calculation domains with different purposes. The calculated domain of FEA and LPM is the complete machine which applies the heat transfer coefficients calculated by CFD at the boundaries between coolant and solid.

Furthermore, the evaluations of the thermal performances of designed electrical machine with different driving cycles are carried out in the thesis work.

This thesis also proposes Hydraulic Equivalent Circuit (HEC) method in order to evaluate the flow network for the cooling system, which uses the analogy between the electric circuit and hydraulic circuit.

In addition, this thesis also shows the in-house built experimental system in order to test the cooling system and temperatures for electrical machines. The comparison between measurement results and simulation results are discussed.

"Energy study of bucket positioning systems on wheel loaders - Loader linkages"

Gabriel Napadow

Description:
As a stage in the development of the next generation of wheel loaders, all systems are evaluated in order to minimize the energy consumption. This master thesis aims to investigate the energy consumption for four different linkages in order to see if there is a difference between the linkages and what the total cost of ownership is. Models have been built using AMESim, MatLab and SimuLink. Based on results from simulations the energy consumption for the different linkages was found. As a consequence of the energy consumption and linkage costs a TCO concluded that there was a notable difference in the total costs of ownership between the linkages.

Master Thesis Presentation:

"Motion controlled cleaning of large tanks"

Mattis Wahlby

Description:
Saving water, time and energy when cleaning large tanks is highly desirable for companies trying to improve. A common solution is a stationary pipe going into the tank with a cleaning nozzle mounted in the end. Today the spray pattern of most cleaning systems is _xed. To adjust the cleaning cycles so that the most soiled places of the tank get extra attention without increasing the total cleaning time another approach is needed.
This thesis develops and implements an algorithm for an arbitrary cleaning pattern for a tank with the shape of a cylinder. By using two asynchronous motors, one connected to each axis, enables the cleaning nozzle to move independently both horizontally and vertically. Feedback is obtained from two incremental encoders, for positioning and speed, and two inductive sensors used for homing. An HMI with a basic user interface is used for control and basic monitoring of the process.
The main focus has been on developing the algorithm but major time has also been spent on getting the hardware to function together to enable testing. By introducing a coordinate system and converting the coordinates, given by the user, to motor positions it is possible to create a pattern of cleaning points. Varying the output signals to the motors it is possible for both motors to reach the point simultaneously and keep a constant peripheral velocity of the jetbeam.

An integrated charger uses components from the electric traction system. The components are reconfigured to be used for charging and as a result, weight, volume and cost of the extra charging components can be reduced. This Master's Thesis is a continuation of the Master's Thesis performed by Erik Hoevenaars where he and his supervisor Mats Alaküla invented a new type of integrated charger. This thesis focuses are on designing, controlling and building a box containing the specific components needed when using the traction system as a charger.

Master Thesis Presentation:

"Modelling and Evaluation of Laminated Windings - Direct Cooling"

The laminated winding design opens a new and effective way of cooling an electric machine. By forcing air through the winding and directly cooling at the conductor one reaches to new heights in peak power capabilities. This initiates a way to smaller machines with peak efficiency nearer nominal use while keeping the ability to deliver high power on demand.

"Comparison of Different Electrical Machines for Belt-driven Alternator and Starter"

Dan Hagstedt

Supervisor: Professor Mats Alaküla, IEA-LTH.
Faculty Opponent: Professor Yujing Liu, Chalmers University of Technology.

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on the electromagnetic design of a synchronous machine suited for a belt-driven alternator and starter (BAS) in a micro hybridisation of a mid-size passenger car. The BAS needs to provide a high cranking torque to start the combustion engine, especially in a cool condition where the requirements are highest. Besides the high crancking torque it is desirable to have high power performance over a wide speed range.

"Moulded Electrical Machines and Laminated Windings"

Conny Högmark

Supervisor: Professor Mats Alaküla, IEA-LTH.
Examiner: Associate Professor. Anders Malmquist, KTH

Abstract:
The goal of this thesis is to investigate the possibility to make a machine part in one production step i.e. mould a finished stator core together with a winding for an electrical machine. As new mouldable core materials are developed with very low core losses, the opportunity for a different approach to manufacturing of electrical machines appears. By moulding the stator core, there are a potential to decrease the production cost during the manufacturing process by minimizing the manual work in the production of the machine. Therefore this thesis will focus on simplifying the production of electrical machines which will include different kinds of moulding techniques and windings design suitable for moulding.
