The doubly-fed generators (DFIG) have clear superiority for the applications of large capacity and limited-range speed control case due to the partially rated inverter, lower cost and high reliability. These characteristics enable the doubly-fed wound rotor induction machine to have vast applications in wind-driven generation.In this paper Combined Vector and direct power control (CVDPC) strate...

Computer simulation of electric motor operation is particularly useful for gaining an insight into their dynamic behaviour and electro-mechanical interaction. A suitable model enables motor faults to be simulated and the change in corresponding parameters to be predicted without physical experimentation. This paper presents both a theoretical and experimental analysis of asymmetric stator and r...

We describe polysilicon micromotors with diffraction gratings fabricated on the polished surface of the polysilicon rotor for optical switching applications. The motors have rotor diameters of 0.5–2 mm with grating elements having periods of 1.80 and 3.86 mm. These microswitches have rise times of 300 ms and settling times of 500 ms when driven by a 65-V switching pulse. The diffractive nature ...

Controlled induction motor drives without mechanical speed sensors at the motor shaft have the attractions of low cost and high reliability. To replace the sensor, the information on the rotor speed is extracted from measured stator voltages and currents at the motor terminals. Vector controlled drives require estimating the magnitude and spatial orientation of the fundamental magnetic flux wav...

It is the purpose of this paper to introduce a computer software that is developed for the analysis of general multi degree of freedom rotor bearing systems with non-linear support elements. A numerical-analytical method for the prediction of steady state periodic response of large order nonlinear rotor dynamic systems is addressed which is based on the harmonic balance technique. By utilizing ...

This paper investigates active real-time balancing of rigid rotors during the transient time of acceleration. First, the governing equation of motion of a rigid rotor is formulated. A parametric adaptive control scheme is then designed based on this dynamic model. An ordinary recursive least squares estimation method is used to estimate parameters in this adaptive control scheme. A supervisory ...

In This paper, the authors propose a Sensorless Direct Torque and Flux Control (DTFC) of Induction Motor (IM) using two approach intelligent techniques: Mamdani Fuzzy Logic (FL) controller is used for controlling the rotor speed and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) applied in switching select stator voltage. We estimated the rotor speed by using the Model Reference Adaptive Systems (MRAS). The c...

The equations of unsymmetrical 2-phase induction motors are established and a computer representation is developed from these equations. Computer representation of single phase motors are developed by extension and modification of the unsymmetrical 2-phase induction motors representation. These equations of an unsymmetrical 2-phase induction motors are describe the dynamic performance of equati...

Abstract: – In this paper a new rotor field orientation control of six phase induction machine is proposed. The machine has two three phase windings spatially shifted by 30 electrical degrees. The dynamic model of the machine is based on the three two dimensional orthogonal subspaces. The proposed method uses a simple estimator for identifying rotor flux and its orientation. To eliminate the ex...
