Abstract
BACKGROUND: Currently, electric buses are becoming more widespread in the segment of urban passenger transportation due to the absence of harmful emissions and low noise levels. Permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSM) are widely used as a traction motor.
One of the most promising methods of monitoring the technical condition of traction motors is diagnostics using monitoring tools installed on board of a vehicle. The advantages of such methods include the possibility of regular frequent condition checks (as opposed to much rarer diagnostics in stationary maintenance points) and a more rapid response to the development of identified malfunctions, which significantly reduces the cost of maintenance and repair of expensive equipment. The disadvantages include limitations associated with a shortage of layout space for the placement of diagnostic equipment, with the limited capabilities of on-board computer facilities for the transmission and storage of diagnostic information and with the complexity of computational procedures of built-in expert diagnostic systems.
Concerning the types of operational failures of PMSMs, which are the most common and the most severe in terms of the cost of restoring operability, these are inter-turn short circuits in the stator windings, increased eccentricity of the air gap between the stator and the rotor, bearing damage, as well as damage of the mechanical gearbox coupled with the electric motor.
AIM: Identification the diagnostic signs of inter-turn short circuits in the phase windings of a permanent magnet synchronous machine, helping to detect these malfunctions on board of route urban vehicles at an early stage.
METHODS: A mathematical model of a permanent magnet synchronous machine with short-circuited turns of the phase winding, which makes it possible to study the behavior of the motor with a various number of short-circuited turns, has been developed.
RESULTS: For the first time, the requirements for diagnostic features for the on-board diagnostic system of an urban electric bus, making it possible to detect inter-turn short circuits in the phase windings of traction electric motors at the early stages of the origin of a malfunction, are formulated.
The main parameters of the process of digital registration of phase currents have been obtained, helping to do measurements and to transmit signals through the onboard information network of the electric bus.
Using simulation modeling methods, it was found that the peak values of the linear spectrum of the total current vector are stable diagnostic signs that make it possible to detect inter-turn short circuits in the phase windings of traction motors at the early stages of the origin of the malfunction.
CONCLUSION: The practical value of the study lies in the opportunity of using the proposed methods for diagnosing the technical condition of traction electric drive units in urban passenger electric transport.
