A clamping force performance evaluation of the electro mechanical brake using PMSM

Abstract

This paper deals with clamping force simulation and experimental result of the Electro Mechanical Brake (EMB) for the High-Speed-Train (HST). Three phase Surface Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (SPMSM) is applied to the clamping force control of EMB. At the initial development stage, Proportional Integral (PI) current control under synchronous d-q axis frame was applied to the SPMSM torque control. In addition, an anti-windup controller, which is advantageous for fast current tracking, is proposed to improve the torque output. Matlab/Simulink simulation results were compared with the experimental results measured by the clamping force sensors of the EMB test rig. The experimental results were verified compared to the brake design specification of the High-Speed Electric Multiple Unit-430 Experimental (HEMU-430X) train.
