This paper proposes a novel adaptation mechanism to replace the classical PI controller used in model reference adaptive speed estimation schemes which are based on rotor flux. The proposed adaptation mechanism is based on a fuzzy logic strategy. A detailed experimental comparison between the new and conventional schemes is carried out in both open and closed loop sensorless modes of operation ...

In spite of not being legally accepted in most countries, mixed recycled aggregates (MRA) could be a suitable raw material for concrete manufacturing. The aims of this research were as follows: (i) to analyze the effect of the replacement ratio of natural coarse aggregates with MRA, the amount of ceramic particles in MRA, and the amount of cement, on the mechanical and physical properties of a ...

GivenK > 0 and a positive integerM, the function△K,M (t) = Kmax(1− |t| M , 0) represents an isosceles triangle on the real line R having height K and base 2M. For a given K and M, a constant amplitude sequence is constructed on the integers Z having autocorrelation △K,M restricted to Z. With this setup, a large class of bounded sequences z is shown to exist, where the autocorrelation of z is a ...

This paper deals with the application of a new neuron, the TLS EXIN neuron, to AC induction motor drives. In particular, it addresses two important subjects of AC induction motor drives: the on-line estimation of the electrical parameters of the machine and the speed estimation in sensorless drives. On this basis, this work summarizes the parameter estimation and sensorless techniques already d...

This paper describes an improved sensorless vector control strategy for a squirrel cage induction generator used in variable speed wind energy conversion systems (WECS). The main goal is to design a robust control algorithm immune to generator parameter variations. In order to estimate the rotational speed of the induction generator, a model reference adaptive system (MRAS observer) is used. It...

Aiming at sensorless control system of surface attached permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSP), three observation algorithms proposed in recent years to estimate rotor position and speed under medium-high operation were introduced this paper. The working principles, advantages disadvantages these such as the Extended Kalman filter algorithm (EKF), Model Reference Adaptive System (MRAS) Slid...
