In machine systems where a rotor spins within a finite clearance space supported by bearings, contact between the rotor and its surround can result in persistent coupled vibration of the rotor and stator. When the vibration response is driven predominantly by friction forces, rotordynamic stability becomes a serious issue. This paper introduces a theory for model-based verification of dynamic s...

A new indirect stator flux field-oriented output feedback control for Doubly Fed Induction Machine is presented. It assures global exponential torque tracking and stabilization of the stator-side power factor at unity level, provided that electric machine physical constraints are satisfied. Based on the inner torque control system, a speed tracking controller, with load torque compensation is d...

This paper presents a detailed study of the extended Kalman filter (EKF) for estimating the rotor resistance and rotor speed of an induction motor drive. The overall structure of the EKF is reviewed and the various system vectors and matrices are defined. By including the rotor resistance and rotor speed as a state variables, the EKF equations are established from a discrete two-axis model of t...

A novel machine family – dual-rotor, Radial-Flux, Permanent-Magnet (RFPM) machines -has demonstrated that it can substantially improve machine torque density and efficiency. The objective of this paper is to provide a performance comparison between two major alternatives of this technology: Surface-mounted dual-rotor RFPM machines and Axial-Flux Permanent-Magnet (AFPM) machines. The comparison ...

Doubly Excited Brushless Reluctance Machine (DEBRM) has gained much attention recently in the area of variable-speed constant-frequency generating systems and adjustable speed drives. Two types of reluctance rotor structure, axially laminated and simple salient rotors, are suggested in the DEBRM development. Due to the unconventional pole number combination of the stator and rotor, performance ...
