In this paper, a new sensorless model reference adaptive method is used for direct control of active and reactive power of the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). In order to estimate the rotor speed, a high frequency signal injection scheme is implemented. In this study, to improve the accuracy of speed estimation, two methods are suggested. First, the coefficients of proportional-integral ...

As small rotorcraft grow in capability, the possibilities for their application increase dramatically. Many of these new applications require stable outdoor flight, necessitating a closer look at the aerodynamic response of the aircraft in windy environments. This paper develops the equations of motion for a single-propeller test stand by analyzing the blade-flapping response of a small-stiff p...

In this paper we present a design procedure for disturbance attenuation with internal stability of a rotor supported by magnetic bearings, over the whole interval of the rotor operating speeds. The nonlinear gyroscopic equations can be simpliied to a set of linear, time-varying diierential equations, owing to the linear dependence of the rotor speed in the plant dynamics. For rotors operating i...

The detection of broken rotor bars in three-phase squirrel cage induction motors by means of current signature analysis is presented. In order to diagnose faults, a Neural Network approach is used. At first the data of different rotor faults are achieved. The effects of different rotor faults on current spectrum, in comparison with other fault conditions, are investigated via calculating Power ...
