Introduction Linear Motion Usually: Rotative motors + rotative-to-linear transmission - belts and pulleys - racks and pinions - screw systems Alternative: Linear Motors -higher dynamic response -no backslash -higher efficiency -still more expensive (motor + control) Linear motor Page 3
Introduction Linear Motor Permanent Magnet (PM) synchronous motors. - high efficiency - high power density - allows a higher air gap Long stator (carriageway) - Short mover (vehicle) - passive mover: no brushes or cables connected - longer travel distance Stator arranged by several electrically independent sections - reduced reactive power and loses - several vehicles in the same carriageway - two inverters + power switching among sections - one inverter for each section Control Page 4
Introduction Control Field Orientation -> Mover position required to be known. Position sensors - expensive - reduce the reliability of the whole system - sensors are dispersed along the carriageway - very difficult to implement in curves Avoiding position sensors in linear motors is even more important than in rotative motors Sensorless methods - Position is derived from measured stator voltage and current. - Different constrains depending on the method used. Sensorless Page 5
Introduction Sensorless methods EMF based - loose performance as speed decreases - does not work at standstill - simple to implement. - non-periodic EMF - transition between sections Based on Magnetic Anisotropies. - Require detectable position dependent inductances. -More complex. - Difficult at high speed. - non-periodic anisotropies - transition between sections - higher leakage inductance (position independent) Motor scheme Page 6

Conclusions Control of Linear Synchronous-Motors without speed or position sensors. Speed control of the mover in a multi-section carriageway. Also provides the means to select the sections to be driven. Experimental tests in closed loop. High agreement between observed and actual values of speed and position, even when the mover is loaded. Validate the model simplifications introduced for the EMF as well as the overall proposal. Thanks Page 5
