Performance of Synchronous Reluctance Generators with Series and Shunt Stator Connections

Internal Fault Detection, Location, and Classification in Stator Winding of the Synchronous Generators Based on the Terminal Voltage Waveform

In this paper, a novel method is presented for detection and classification of the faultyphase/region in the stator winding of synchronous generators on the basis of the resulting harmoniccomponents that appear in the terminal voltage waveforms. Analytical results obtained through DecisionTree (DT) show that the internal faults are not only detectable but also they can be classified andthe rela...

Stator-Flux-Oriented Based Encoderless Direct Torque Control for Synchronous Reluctance Machines Using Sliding Mode Approach

In this paper a sliding-mode torque and flux control is designed for encoderless synchronous reluctance motor drive. The sliding-mode plus PI controllers are designed in the stator-flux field oriented reference frame which is able to track the mentioned reference signals with a minimum pulsations in the state condition. In addition, with these controllers a fast dynamic response is also achieve...

Effects of Different Rotor and Stator Constructions on The Performance of Switched Reluctance Motors

This paper is carried out to develop a theoretical model for the simulation of 8/6-pole and 6/4-pole switched reluctance motors and describes the difference of these kinds of motors in dynamic characteristics such as magnetic field energy, magnetic field coenergy, magnitude of By, magnetization losses, steady-state weighted stress tensor torque, mutual inductance and so in performance. As known...

A Simple Pattern Recognition Approach for Monitoring Incipient Stator Faults in Salient-pole Synchronous Generators

This paper studies the effect of incipient stator faults in salient-pole synchronous generators and its detection using a simple pattern recognition methodology. A theoretical linear model for the synchronous generator is first developed to provide the relationships between stator and rotor harmonic currents and possible incipient faults on stator electric circuits. All theoretical findings wer...
