This work describes the main consideration in the design of power converter for a SRM drive with the particular attention to the choice of converter topology, and to study and develop the static and dynamic characteristics of the prototype model of SRM using FEA software (MagNet 6. 22). To simulate the power converter switching circuit for prototype model of SRM using MATLAB/Simulink 7. 8. 0. I...

The compound-structure permanent-magnet synchronous machine (CS-PMSM), comprising a double rotor machine (DRM) and a permanent-magnet (PM) motor, is a promising electronic-continuously variable transmission (e-CVT) concept for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). By CS-PMSM, independent speed and torque control of the vehicle engine is realized without a planetary gear unit. However, the slip rings...

This paper presents an analysis and a novel control scheme for a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind energy generation under unbalanced grid conditions. The control objectives are: (i) to limit the rotor currents, (ii) to suppress ripples in the torque and (iii) to suppress the dc-link voltage fluctuation through converter controls. Negative sequence compensation techniques by one ...

most of the methods that have been proposed for speed estimation of induction machines require the rotor and the stator resistance to change in the normal operating range. on the other hand, estimation of the rotor resistance requires rotor speed. in this paper, after studying conditions for simultaneous estimation of rotor speed and rotor resistance, a method for simultaneous estimation of rot...

The Low Speed Aeroacoustic Wind Tunnel (LSAWT) at NASA Langley Research Center has recently undergone a configuration change. This change incorporates an inlet nozzle extension meant to serve the dual purposes of achieving lower freestream velocities as well as a larger core flow region. The LSAWT, part of the NASA Langley Jet Noise Laboratory, had historically been utilized to simulate realist...

Misalignment and unbalance is the most cause of machine vibration. An unbalanced rotor always cause more vibration and generates excessive force in the bearing area and reduces the life of the machine. Understanding and practicing the fundamentals of rotating shaft parameters is the first step in reducing unnecessary vibration, reducing maintenance costs and increasing machine uptime. In this p...

This paper proposes a back electromotive force estimation error compensation method for accurate rotor position estimation of surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motors. When estimating the rotor position of surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor sensorless drives, a direct current offset error component occurs in the voltage sensor. As a result, the rotor position is disto...

The paper examines the prospects of a normative approach to institutional design for systematically introducing the concept of legitimacy to the debate on how to internationally regulate research on and possible applications of geoengineering with solar radiation management (SRM). Given the high desirability of international regulation of SRM resulting from its strong transboundary and regional...

the rotor of enegelberg whitener was equipped with a screw conveyor to reduce broken rice percentage. according to preliminary experiments this modification could reduce broken rice percentage about 2.5%. further experiment was performed to determine the effect of rotor speeds and blade positions on white rice quality. to do this, five rotor speeds, consisting 500, 600, 700, 800 and 900 r.p.m a...
