Energy efficiency optimization of field-oriented control for PMSM in all electric system

TL;DR: In this article, the maximum torque current ratio is used as the main strategy of energy efficiency optimization of motor control system, and based on this strategy, an algorithm of energy efficient optimization control of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is proposed, which does not depend on motor parameters, is not affected by the change of motor parameters and has strong universality and robustness.

Electrical system simulation of an aircraft through ANSYS Electronics Desktop

TL;DR: More Electric Aircraft is a new technology that allows the aeronautical sector to innovate in the electrical part when it comes to implementing it, that is, it consists of replacing part of the current pneumatic, hydraulic, and mechanical systems that make up an aircraft, with electrical systems, for this reason, the main purpose is to design and develop a simulation model in ANSYS Electronics Desktop of the Boeing 777 architecture to analyze all the parameters such as: the voltage, current and power of each subsystem, so for the development, they are simulated one by one and later they are joined based on the electrical diagram of the aircraft in order to be able to test them in normal and abnormal conditions, and make the comparison of when they were simulated individually, in this way, it creates an impact when rebuilding the electrical system, generating advantages that benefit those companies in this sector for the contribution of their innovations as discussed by the authors .
