Fuzzy Logic Control of Electric Motors and Motor Drives: Feasibility Study

Electric motors use 60% of the electrical energy generated in the U.S. An improvement of 1% in all electric motors’ operating efficiency could result in reduced coal combustion of 6.5 to 10 million tons* per year. New techniques are required to extract the ultimate performance from modern motors. This study examined the feasibility of Fuzzy Logic Motor Control (FLMC). The investigation included...

Diagnosis of Mechanical Faults in Electric Motors

The ability to monitor the condition of an electrical machine has been a concern of industry for many years. Knowing when a machine requires maintenance allows users to perform the required maintenance at their convenience, rather than during costly unscheduled shutdowns. This need for improved industrial monitoring techniques has produced a number of studies on the detection of mechanical faul...

A review on recent applications of brushless DC electric machines and their potential in energy saving

Electric motors are the largest consumer of world electric energy, consuming more than twice as much as lighting, the next largest consumer. Electric motors account for between 43 and 46% of all global electricity consumption approximately. They give rise to about 6 040 Mt of CO2 emissions. End‐users approximately spend USD 565 billion per year on electricity [1]. In recent years...
