In this paper we propose the study of a centrifugal pump control system driven by a three-phase induction motor, which is supplied by a PhotoVoltaic PV generator. The system includes solar panel, a DC / DC converter equipped with its MPPT control, a voltage inverter to three-phase Pulse Width Modulation PWM and a centrifugal pump driven by a three phase induction motor. In order to control the ...

Direct current (DC) piezoelectric power generator is promising for the miniaturization of a power package and self-powering of nanorobots and body-implanted devices. Hence, we report the first use of two-dimensional (2D) zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructure and an anionic nanoclay layer to generate piezoelectric DC output power. The device, made from 2D nanosheets and an anionic nanoclay layer hetero...

Inline with the advancement of low power circuit design, it has reduced the power requirements of electronic devices to the level of microwatts. As power demand decreases, the possibility of using energy harvesting systems as an alternative to batteries increases. However, for low power electronic application, the consistency of minimum voltage and current supply to the electronic devices is an...

Double Fed Induction Generator; Crowbar protection; ANFIS; Fuzzy logic; Fault current and voltages Abstract In the last 15 years, Double Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) had been widely used as a wind turbine generator, due its various advantages especially low generation cost so it becomes the most important and promising sources of renewable energy. This work focuses on studying of using DFIG a...

In this paper, we analyse and demonstrate an energy-harvesting generator powered by continuous rotation, using gravitational torque to enable a single point of attachment. The electro-mechanical behaviour of the generator is presented, alongside experimental results from an implementation based on a conventional dc motor. The off-axis performance is also modelled. The design and experimental re...

This paper presents the design optimization and characterization of a microscale, permanent-magnet (PM) generator, capable of supplying 8 W of dc power to a resistive load at a rotational speed of 305 000 rpm. The generator is a three-phase, axial-flux, PM machine, consisting of a stator with Cu surface windings and a multi-pole SmCo PM rotor. Optimization of the machine geometries has enabled ...

When parity equations are designed ad hoc., the low frequency gain of the fault-to-residual transfer function can become low or even zero which is highly undesirable. As a solution, a systematic design procedure, utilizing the freedom available in residual generator design, is proposed. The method is called residual shaping and guarantees reasonable performance. It is used together with RLS to ...
