Nowadays in industry there many processes where human intervention is replaced by electrical machines, especially induction machines due to his robustness and performance. Although, induction machines are a high reliable device, they are also susceptible to faults. Therefore, the study of induction machine state is essential to reduce human and financial costs. It is presented in this paper an ...

ABSTRACT In this paper, a novel vector controlled sixphase induction machine which is fed from six-phase matrix converter is proposed. Though the practical implementation of matrix converter to vector controlled three phase induction motors is limited and still under investigation due to switches devices implementation difficulties and complication of modulation technique and commutation contro...

Induction machines play a important role in industry and there is a demand for their reliable and safe operation. Different failures occurs in induction machines gives excessive down times and generate large losses in term, and this motivates the condition monitoring of induction motors. The condition monitoring includes taking measurements on three phase induction motor when it is operating in...

A squirrel cage induction machine (SCIM) when aggregated with relevant capacitances and a prime mover, acts as self-excited generator (SEIG). As it hosts energy conversion the parameters of SCIM have considerable impact on power extraction capability SEIG. An aspect which is missing from available research SEIGs evaluation affects its rotor’s moment inertia (J) per-phase stator winding resistan...

In the paper by Vaclavek et al. (IEEE Trans. Ind. Electron., vol. 60, no. 8, pp. 3047-3059, Aug. 2013), the local observability of both induction machine and permanent magnet synchronous machine under motion sensorless operation is studied. In this letter, the “slowly varying” speed assumption is discussed, and the permanent magnet synchronous machine observability condition at standstill is re...

Here, a new fuzzy direct torque control algorithm for induction motors is proposed. As in the classical direct torque control, the inverter gate control signals directly come from the optimum switching voltage vector look-up table, the best voltage space vector selection is a key factor to obtain minimum torque and flux ripples. In the proposed approach, the best voltage space vector is sel...

A substantial amount of power system load is made of large number of three phase induction machine. The transient phenomena of these machines play an important role in the behavior of the overall system. Thus, modeling of induction machine is an integral part of some power system transient studies. The analysis takes a detailed form only when its modeling becomes perfect to a greater accuracy. ...

The present paper describes an application of machine learning techniques to structural engineering. The existence and availability of a large compilation of data describing some 1100 cases of structural damage in large dams, has contributed with a specific domain of application. The work has progressed in three different lines: 1) experimentation with existing induction systems; 2) identificat...
