A hollow cylinder flywheel rotor with a novel outer rotor switched reluctance machine (SRM) mounted on the interior rim is presented, with measurements, numerical analysis and analytical models. Practical experiences from the construction process are also discussed. The flywheel rotor does not have a shaft and spokes and is predicted to store 181 Wh/kg at ultimate tensile strength (UTS) accordi...

−− Servocontrol loops are an important component in the control architecture of machine tools. Such loops manage the axes based on requirements of velocity, position, and acceleration. The success of modeling and control techniques applied to this level sets the basis for production of parts with high quality as well as cycle time reduction. First, an introduction is presented for the three may...

This paper presents a machine learning technique for fault diagnostics in induction motor drives. A normal model and an extensive range of faulted models for the inverter-motor combination were developed and implemented using a generic commercial simulation tool to generate voltages and current signals at a broad range of operating points selected by a machine learning algorithm. A structured n...

The experience with deregulated electricity market has shown the increasingly important role of short-term electric load forecasting in the energy producing and scheduling. However, because of nonlinear, stochastic and nonstable characteristics associated with the electric load series, it is extremely difficult to precisely forecast the electric load. This paper aims to establish a novel ensemb...

Advanced engineering ceramics which are widely used as high strength refractory material for several industrial applications, always pose a challenging opportunity to machine them. Conventional methods of machining are difficult to shape them because of their high hardness and brittleness, while grinding is the only popular method to machine them, but shaping of ceramics in desired form is diff...

Among the many approaches towards fuel economy, adoption of electric vehicles (EV) may have greatest impact. However, existing studies on EV predict very different market evolutions, which causes a lack solid ground for strategic decision making. New methodological tools, based Artificial Intelligence, might offer perspective. This paper proposes supervised Machine Learning (ML) techniques to i...

Based on the problems caused by today conventional vehicles, much attention has been put on the fuel cell vehicles researches. However, using a fuel cell system is not adequate alone in transportation applications, because the load power profile includes transient that is not compatible with the fuel cell dynamic. To resolve this problem, hybridization of the fuel cell and energy storage device...

Electric machine is one of key parts in hybrid electric vehicles which affect dynamical and fuel consumption features and is the kernel to realize all kinds of strategy. Induction motor, PM synchronous motor, brushless DC motor, and switched reluctance motor are all applied in HEV. Traction motors for HEV are different from motors applied in industry. Load changes frequently and widely. Charact...
