This paper discusses on-line estimation of rotor body parameters of the synchronous hydro-generator under saturated condition. A new model of the saturated synchronous salient-pole machine, based on the saturated synchronous inductances which are estimated from measured steady-state operating data, is presented. Using this model the excitation disturbance responses of the saturated synchronous ...

A turn fault in the stator winding of a generator causes a large circulating current to flow in the shorted turns. If left undetected, turn faults can propagate, leading to phaseground or phase-phase faults. Incipient detection of turn’s faults is essential to avoid hazardous operating conditions and reduce down time. At present the synchronous generators are protected against almost all kind o...

The purpose of this paper is the calculation of Unbalanced Magnetic Force (UMF) in permanent magnet brushless DC (PMBLDC) machines with diametrically asymmetric winding and investigation of UMF variations in the presence of phase advance angle. This paper presents an analytical model of UMF in surface mounted PMBLDC machines that have a fractional ratio of slot number to pole number. This model...

Electromagnetic forces in power transformer windings are produced by interaction between the leakage fluxes and current passing them. Since the leakage flux distribution along the windings height is in two axial and radial directions, so the electromagnetic forces have two components, radial and axial. There is a risk that a large electromagnetic force due to the short circuit or inrush current...

Accurate computing of the saturated inductances of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (PMSM) is very important during the design process. In this paper, a new method is presented based on the B-H characteristic of the stator material and unsaturated inductances formulations. This method is used to calculate the saturated inductances of the axial flux PMSM. The synchronous inductance and all o...

In the absence of solvent composite machine, because the radius of drum winding and rewinding roller in the transmission process is changing. With the coiled material rolls diameter more and more large, and put the curly size getting smaller and smaller, this has the certain difficulty for the tension control. Therefore, good tension control is non solvent composite is very important. Analyzed ...

Performance evaluation of an axial flux surface mounted permanent magnet (PM) field controlled TORUS type (FCT) disc machine is presented in this paper. This new machine is an axial flux configuration with true field weakening capability since the flux is controlled by the DC field winding rather than opposing the magnets. Structure and operating principles are summarized in the first section. ...

The paper presents a detailed calculation of characteristic of five different topology permanent magnet machines for high performance traction including hybrid -electric vehicles using finite element analysis (FEA) method. These machines include V-shape single layer interior PM, W-shape single-layer interior PM, Segment interior PM and surface PM on the rotor and with distributed winding on the...

Self-excited induction generators are increasingly being used in remote areas to generate electrical power from both conventional and nonconventional energy sources. This paper investigates a multi-phase self excited induction generator designed for its six-phase operation. Evaluations were made out on the basis of the machine performance which includes voltage and current characteristics at di...

When multiphase drives are used for specific applications, the modular solutions preferred as they use consolidated power electronics technologies. The literature reports two modeling approaches machines having a configuration of stator winding. first approach is vector space decomposition (VSD) that models energy conversion an equivalent three-phase machine. main alternative to VSD multistator...
