Permanent magnet generators for renewable energy application have been subject of research during last two decades. Several kinds of rotating electrical generators exist for several applications, including synchronous, induction and DC machines. Doubly Fed Induction Generator is proposed as an alternative solution with respect to the cost of such a system. However, a bigger emphasis in the repo...

Research has shown that conventional adaptive control and more sophisticated nonlinear approaches can suffer from a lack of robustness and transparency. In this paper, a multiple model technique is proposed that effectively incorporates established linear control methods within an inherently nonlinear framework. The resulting local model network (LMN) was found to describe the nonlinear dynamic...

⎯A permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM) for a high temperature superconducting (HTS) maglev system has been studied, including the motor structure, control strategy, and analysis techniques. Finite element analysis (FEA) of magnetic field is conducted to accurately calculate major motor parameters. Equivalent electrical circuit is used to predict the drive’s steady-state characteri...

Current-limiting reactors are widely used in industrial electrical grids to reduce the current amplitude equipment and stabilize voltage on busbar during short circuits. Their application is distinguished by high technical economic efficiency. However, mechanical damage has been observed within extensive with many induction motors internal synchronous generators. The article analyses a case stu...

In this work, we analyze different configurations of a thermoelectric system (TES) composed of three thermoelectric generators (TEGs). We present the following considerations: (a) TES thermally and electrically connected in series (SC); (b) TES thermally and electrically connected in parallel (PSC); and (c) parallel thermally and series electrical connection (SSC). We assume that the parameters...

Original scientifica paper Recently, there has been an increasing interest in using distributed generators (DG) not only to inject power into the grid, but also to enhance the power quality. In this study, a space voltage pulse width modulation (SVPWM) control method is proposed for a synchronous grid-connected controller in a wind-solar-storage micro grid. This method is based on the appropria...
