contribution to the devellopement of the elctromecanical part of an electrical compressor for cooling the electric vehicule
This thesis is part of the project Compacite which aims to develop an electric compressor for electrical vehicles using a mechatronic approach. In this way, the LGEP contribution is to develop the electromechanical part of the compressor.The document is divided in two parts: the first one is related to the design of the motor and the second part is dedicated to the sensorless control.In the first part, the electromagnetic design is proposed to comply with the industrial constraints according to the compressor operation. The specifications require a compact motor (external diameter equal to 97 mm and an active depth less than 50 mm) and a good power/mass ratio (6 kW for a weight of 1.8 kg). At first the design is based on an analytical model in order to obtain a fast sizing. Thereafter the finite element method is used for multiphysical studies (magnetic, thermal and mechanical (in terms of strength of materials and vibration)). A prototype is built and characterized on a test bench. In the second part, some algorithmic control laws have been developed with sensor and sensorless control. In this part a particular control law (sampled data passivity based control) with a low algorithmic cost has been developed for driven the motor and has been validated on the test bench. At the end an observer based on the estimation of the electromotive force is used for sensorless control and validated on the test bench.
