Conference Object Structural Integrity Analysis of a Two-Pole Synchronous Reluctance Machine With Non-Circular Shaft(IEEE, 2023-06-14) Tekgun, Didem; Tekgun, Burak; Alan, IrfanThis paper investigates the structural strength of a 6-inch diameter, two-pole, 4 kW line start synchronous reluctance machine (LS-SynRM) designed with a new non-circular shaft structure that serves as a pump motor. Flux paths on the rotor are widened while narrowing down the shaft of the motor on the q- axis to improve the motor efficiency. By using this method, a wider path is created for the flux in the d-axis. As a result, the inductance in the d-axis, the ratio of inductance between the d-axis and q-axis (referred to as saliency ratio), and the difference in inductance between the d-axis and q-axis are all amplified. To evaluate the structural strength of the machine, a series of analyses are conducted, including modal, harmonic, and static examination on the rotor using ANSYS Structural. The findings indicate that to prevent redundant deformations and undesirable vibrations because of resonance, the maximum safe limit for shaft size reduction is determined as 8 mm.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 5Sliding Mode Control of a Switched Reluctance Motor Drive With Four-Switch Bi-Directional DC-DC Converter for Torque Ripple Minimization(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020-09) Ates, Ertugrul; Tekgun, Burak; Ablay, GünyazIn this paper, a method to drive switched reluctance motors (SRM) with a modular four-switch bidirectional DC-DC converter and an H-bridge is proposed. The DC-DC converter operates as a buck or a boost converter with constant frequency to control each phase current while the H-bridge inverter switches only twice in a period to adjust the polarity of the phase voltage. Sliding mode control is designed to have fast and robust current control in the DC-DC converter. The sliding surface equation which is derived for all operation modes including buck and boost modes in motoring and regenerating conditions is defined with the estimated inductor current. The proposed drive system eliminates the bulk DC-capacitors and allows one to adjust the bus voltage individually for all phases. Moreover, the proposed system topology works with only one high-frequency switching device in the DC-DC conversion stage rather than two in conventional drives which provides a simpler current control and reduced switching losses. © 2020 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Sensorless Position and Speed Control of IPMSM With Sliding Mode Observer and Voltage Signal Injection(IEEE, 2021) Ates, Ertugrul; Tekgun, Burak; Ablay, GunyazA sensorless control approach based on a sliding mode observer for predicting the rotor position and speed is studied in this work. For predicting the motor speed and position, the sliding mode observer followed by a phase locked loop is formulated by means of the back EMF model. The voltage signal injection method is utilized for accurate estimation in zero or low speed region. Numerical simulation results are provided for an 8-pole IPMSM, which shows that the motor speed and position in zero or low-speed region are accurately estimated with the designed observer and voltage signal injection approach.Article Citation - WoS: 44Citation - Scopus: 58Real-Time Energy Management in an Off-Grid Smart Home: Flexible Demand Side Control With Electric Vehicle and Green Hydrogen Production(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2023-07) Boynuegri, Ali Rifat; Tekgun, Burak; Rifat Boynuegri, AliA real-time energy management system for an off-grid smart home is presented in this paper. The primary energy sources for the system are wind turbine and photovoltaics, with a fuel cell serving as a supporting energy source. Surplus power is used to generate hydrogen through an electrolyzer. Data on renewable energy and load demand is gathered from a real smart home located in the Yildiz Technical University Smart Home Laboratory. The aim of the study is to reduce hydrogen consumption and effectively utilize surplus renewable energy by managing controllable loads with fuzzy logic controller, all while maintaining the user's comfort level. Load shifting and tuning are used to increase the demand supplied by renewable energy sources by 10.8% and 13.65% from wind turbines and photovoltaics, respectively.

A two-step design approach is used including winding and geometry optimization using multi-objective differential evolution (MODE) algorithm. In the first stage, a Pareto front is obtained which determines the number of turns for each coil group for all winding configurations. Later in the second stage, three results are selected from the first stage to perform a geometric optimization to distinguish the effects of the THD and end winding length on the synchronous performance of a 4 kW two-pole SynRM. For the same average torque output, efficiency, mass, and the torque ripple of the selected designs are investigated and compared. Based on the analysis, it is concluded that rather than focusing on shortening the end winding length, reducing the MMF harmonics have a more positive effect on the machine performance as reduced harmonics resulted in efficiency improvement up to 2 points and torque ripple is reduced up to 8 points while having similar motor mass.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Investigating the Tradeoff Between the MMF Distortion and End Turn Length of a 2-Pole Line Start SynRM Performance(Springer int Publ Ag, 2023-07-19) Tekgun, Didem; Cosdu, Muhammed M.; Tekgun, Burak; Alan, IrfanConventional 2-pole AC machine windings have long end windings and generate harmonics, which increase losses and reduce torque density. This study investigates the performance tradeoff between the level of distortion (THD) in winding magneto-motive force (MMF) and end turn length on a 2-pole line start Synchronous Reluctance Machine (LS-SynRM) machine. A two-stage approach is used, winding and geometry optimization. Various multilayer winding configurations having unevenly distributed number of turns are investigated. First, the percentage of the turns in a coil group is optimized for minimum harmonics and end turn length for all structures. Second, geometric optimization is performed on selected winding configurations. Sixteen different configurations are optimized, and Pareto optimal solutions are obtained. Later, these solutions are graded with a new score-based assessment method to quantify the quality of the results. It is concluded that the designs having lower THD in winding MMF perform better than the designs with shorter end turns in terms of efficiency and torque density.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 3Investigating the Role of Stator Slot Indents in Minimizing Flooded Motor Fluid Damping Loss(MDPI, 2023-12-14) Tekgun, Didem; Tekgun, BurakThis research examines how fluid damping loss affects the operation of a two-pole, 5.5 HP (4 kW) induction machine (IM) within the context of different slot opening configurations developed for downhole water pump applications. Since these motors operate with their cavities filled with fluid, the variations in fluid viscosity and density, compared to air, result in the occurrence of damping losses. Furthermore, this loss can be attributed to the motor's stator and rotor surface geometry, as the liquid within the motor cavity moves unrestrictedly within the motor housing. This study involves the examination of the damping loss in a 24-slot IM under different stator slot indentations. The investigation utilizes computational fluid dynamics (CFD) finite element analysis (FEA) and is subsequently validated through experiments. The aim of this work is to emphasize the significance of fluid damping loss in submerged machines. Results reveal that the damping loss exceeds 8% of the motor output power when the stator surface has indentations, and it diminishes to 3.2% of the output power when a custom wedge structure is employed to eliminate these surface indentations.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 9Instantaneous Torque Error Compensation Based Online Torque Sharing Function for Switched Reluctance Machines(Elsevier, 2023-07) Genc, Ufuk; Tekgun, BurakAn online torque sharing function (TSF) with instantaneous torque error compensation method for switched reluctance machines is proposed to maintain a minimized ripple operation. The proposed method adjusts the shared torque between the phases based on instantaneous torque error different than the existing TSF methods formulated with a mathematical expression. The objective of this approach is to benefit from the outgoing phase torque as it has slow current dynamics due to the high inductance. Also, the incoming phase is turned on as soon as it can generate positive torque. During this process, the total torque is estimated instantaneously using lookup tables, and a correction current is calculated and injected into the incoming phase reference current as the inductance is low and current dynamics are fast. This way, the torque ripple is reduced for a wide speed range. Compared to the conventional linear, sinusoidal, exponential, and cubic TSFs, better torque ripple performance is obtained.& COPY; 2023 THE AUTHORS.

However, in the buck-boost DC-DC conversion stage, smooth transition, and efficient conversion cannot be achieved when the output voltage is close to the input voltage with the traditional two-mode control method. This is due to the pulse width ratio limitations, and non-idealities of the active and passive components. In this paper, a comparative analysis of the mode transition techniques in QSSIs is presented using methods available for DC/DC converters. The system efficiency and output voltage signal quality are selected as the performance metrics as they are important performance parameters in many applications. A 2kW QSSI is controlled using single-mode, two-mode, and three-mode modulation techniques. Simulation and experimental studies are conducted for validation. Based on these studies, it is concluded that the single-mode modulation technique performed the best in eliminating dead zone effects and reducing total harmonic distortion (THD), whereas the two-mode modulation technique achieved the highest system efficiency. The three-mode modulation has superior performance on dead zone elimination compared to the two-mode modulation and better system efficiency than the single-mode modulation method. Experimental results indicate that the three-mode modulation achieved an efficiency of 91.12% with a THD of 3.73%.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 10FEA Based Fast Topology Optimization Method for Switched Reluctance Machines(Springer, 2022-01-04) Tekgun, Didem; Tekgun, Burak; Alan, IrfanIn this paper, a finite element analysis (FEA) based fast optimization method to optimize a lightweight in-wheel switched reluctance machine is presented. This method speeds up the switched reluctance machine optimization procedure by running the FEA simulations with single-phase constant current excitations for half electrical cycle and estimating the machine performance metrics using the gathered FEA data. Hence, the machine`s dynamic performance estimation process takes shorter for each design candidate. The optimization algorithm employs designs of experiments (DOE), response surface (RS) analysis method, and differential evolution algorithm (DE). Here, the DOE method is used to reduce the search space by narrowing down the upper and lower boundaries of each design variable based on the RS analysis. Although this process does not guarantee getting the Pareto front, it places the search space close to the actual one. Hence, the multi-objective DE optimization finds the Pareto optimal solution set without requiring a large number of iterations as well as a large number of candidate designs for each iteration. The method is applied to a 24/16 SRM that is intended to be used in a lightweight race car as a hub motor. Six dimensionless geometric variables are optimized to satisfy three objective functions, namely torque ripple, motor mass, and copper loss. While the conventional DE takes at least 3000 candidate designs, the proposed method considers only 559 designs to reach a similar Pareto front. It is observed that the proposed method takes about 6 h 30 min compared to the conventional method that takes 32 h 50 min using the same computer. Therefore, the computation time is reduced almost five times with the proposed method.
