Direct Torque Control (DTC) is well known as an effective control technique for high performance drives in a wide variety of industrial applications and conventional DTC technique uses two constant reference value: torque and stator flux. In this paper, a new fuzzy based stator flux optimizer has been proposed for DTC controlled induction motor drivers and simulation studies have been carried o...

This paper presents a magnetic field analysis of an original Doubly-Excited Brushless Reluctance Machine (DEBRM). The stator of the DEBRM consists of two sets windings with different pole numbers. The rotor is an axially laminated structure with a pole number different from either of the stator windings. The finite element method is applied by which the magnetic vector potentials under no-load ...

Abstract—This paper proposed an estimation approach of temperature rise in stator winding and rotor magnet of a surfaced-mounted permanent magnet (PM) AC motor. By using the 3rd-order extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm in rotating reference frame, stator winding resistance and rotor PM flux-linkage can be estimated independently. After comparing the estimation results of resistance and flux...

Wind turbines are increasingly expanding worldwide and Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) is a key component of most them. Stator winding fault major in this equipment its incipient detection vital importance. However, there paucity research field. In study, novel machine learning-based method proposed for inter-turn short-circuit (ITF) the DFIG stator based on current signals stator. The ma...

The bacterial flagellar motor (BFM) rotates hundreds of times per second to propel bacteria driven by an electrochemical ion gradient. The motor consists of a rotor 50 nm in diameter surrounded by up to 11 ion-conducting stator units, which exchange between motors and a membrane-bound pool. Measurements of the torque-speed relationship guide the development of models of the motor mechanism. In ...

According to tradition, permanent maglev cannot achieve stable equilibrium. The authors have developed, to the contrary, two stable permanent maglev impeller blood pumps. The first pump is an axially driven uni-ventricular assist pump, in which the rotor with impeller is radially supported by two passive magnetic bearings, but has one point contact with the stator axially at standstill. As the ...

This work analyzes the behavior of surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motors (SPMSMs) operating under stator faults. The studied faults are resistive unbalance and winding inter-turn short circuits, which may lead to unbalanced conditions of the motor. Both faults may reduce motor efficiency and performance and produce premature ageing. This work develops an analytical model of the mo...

Two different external-rotor-internal-stator TORUS type axial flux PM machines can be derived based on the direction of the flux. In the first type of the TORUS machine, magnet driven flux enters stator and travels circumferentially along the stator core while in the second type the flux enters the stator and travels axially along the machine axis of rotation. The major differences between the ...

This paper deals with the computation of vibrations and noise of electromagnetic origin for ’U’-shaped stator core flux switching permanent magnet (FSPM) machines. The investigation concerns a family of FSPM stator/rotor configurations with 12 slots and 10, 11, 13, and 14 rotor poles. More precisely, the study focuses on the influence of different number of rotor poles on the sound power level ...
