Abstract:Van Raam is a company that specialises in designing and manufacturing bi- and tricycles for individuals with disabilities and those unable to ride a conventional two-wheeled bicycle. For their users to guarantee a safe cycling experience, accurate rotor position tracking is important for high-reliability speed control. Such control can be achieved either with a dedicated sensor or sensorless, where sensorless control offers advantages such as low cost and high reliability. This thesis delves into the realm of advanced control methodologies and rotor design optimization techniques for Interior Permanent Magnet machines. Specifically, it focuses on implementing high-frequency signal injection for accurate angle control for low-speed applications, targeting two distinct IPM motor topologies: flat-type and v-type. In addition, significant attention is devoted to optimizing machine design to utilize the reluctance torque property using Ansys Motor-CAD. Furthermore, this thesis encompasses the practical aspect of research, as it involves the construction of a test setup tailored to evaluate the proposed theories and methodologies with extensive measurement on Van Raam custom IPM designs.
