A method, which estimates the position of the rotor based on arithmetic model of the motor, is presented in this paper. In this method, mathematical mode of PMSM is regarded as reference model. By detecting the phase current of PMSM, the real position of the rotor of PMSM is calculated. And this method eliminates the parameters variation of the PMSM. Simulation and experimental results proved t...

The Brushless DC (BLDC) motor is a simple robust machine which has found application over a wide power and speed of ranges in different shapes and geometry. This paper briefly reviews the fundamentals behind the motor and also the different types of BLDC motors with different geometries and then presents a new configuration for BLDC motor/generator, which does not use a permanent magnet in the ...

The performance of Switched Reluctance (SR) motor drive systems using rotor position transducers has been satisfactory, but the potential of SR drives for providing economical, robust, compact and reliable drive systems which can operate in harsh environments, has made the development of sensorless system desirable. A system which can detect rotor position without a conventional position sensor...

Rotating machinery is often subjected to variable loads during operation. Thus, monitoring and identifying different load types is important. Here, five typical load types have been qualitatively studied for a rotor system. A novel load category identification method for rotor system based on vibration signals is proposed. This method is a combination of ensemble empirical mode decomposition (E...

Homopolar motors have been proposed as an alternative propulsion means for ships. Such motors operate in a very harsh and demanding environment, making in-situ diagnostics and faultmonitoring systems a key issue for extended operation. In a typical homopolar motor, several thousand brushes are used, which are all in sliding contact with a copper rotor at a velocity of about 10 m/s. Wear and deg...

The Current Source Inverter technology is well suited for medium voltage induction motor drives. Because the CSI drive generally features simple converter structure, motor friendly waveforms, inherent four-quadrant operation capability and reliable fuse less short circuit protection. The main draw back lies in its dynamic torque response. An improved Direct Torque Control method is proposed her...

This paper presents a fast coordinated control scheme of the rotor side converter (RSC), the Direct Current (DC) chopper and the grid side converter (GSC) of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbine generators (WTGs) to improve the low voltage ride through (LVRT) and high voltage ride through (HVRT) capability of the DFIG WTGs. The characteristics of DFIG WTGs under voltage sags and s...

Molecular rotors are a group of fluorescent molecules that form twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) states upon photoexcitation. When intramolecular twisting occurs, the molecular rotor returns to the ground state either by emission of a red-shifted emission band or by nonradiative relaxation. The emission properties are strongly solvent-dependent, and the solvent viscosity is the pri...

In this short paper we present a discrete-time eld oriented controller (FOC) for current-fed induction motors which insures global asymptotic speed regulation as well as rotor ux norm tracking. To the best of our knowledge, this is the rst time such a result is rigourously established for a controller implemented in discrete-time. To insure global stability a condition on the reference for the ...
