Modelisation and optimisation of a mechatronic system

2008
Student Projects

Abstract

The objective of this Master Project is the modelisation, simulation and optimisation of a mechatronic system with Matlab/Simulink. The mechatronic system comprises the following parts: three-phase Brushless DC motor, driving electronics and mechanics. The motor is connected to a large mass of 600 kg via a gear box and a drive belt. The simulations are run with a given displacement profile of the mass. The motor speed follows the profile in the case of the simulated and measured results.

AC motor

An AC motor is an electric motor driven by an alternating current (AC). The AC motor commonly consists of two basic parts, an outside stator having coils supplied with alternating current to produce a rotating magnetic field, and an inside rotor attached to the output shaft producing a second rotating magnetic field. The rotor magnetic field may be produced by permanent magnets, reluctance saliency, or DC or AC electrical windings.

Electric motor

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft. An electric generator is mechanically identical to an electric motor, but operates with a reversed flow of power, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Motor controller

A motor controller is a device or group of devices that can coordinate in a predetermined manner the performance of an electric motor. A motor controller might include a manual or automatic means for starting and stopping the motor, selecting forward or reverse rotation, selecting and regulating the speed, regulating or limiting the torque, and protecting against overloads and electrical faults. Motor controllers may use electromechanical switching, or may use power electronics devices to regulate the speed and direction of a motor.
