Induction motor is the most popular load in the industry, it is very important to study about the effects of voltage quality on induction motor performance. One of the most important voltage quality problems in power system is voltage unbalance. This paper evaluates and compares two methods including finite element method (FEM) and equivalent electrical circuit simulation for investigation ...

This paper investigates the preliminary sizing of generator set to design electrical system at the early phase of a project, dynamic behavior of generator-unit, as well as induction motors, during start-up of the induction motor drives fed from emergency generator unit. The information in this paper simplifies generator set selection and eliminates common errors in selection. It covers load est...

The article discusses application of AC/DC/AC converter cooperating with an induction generator in small hydroelectric power plants. The induction generator works with power grid or a separated group of receivers, enabling to generate power even at low speeds of the turbine. The article provides also results of the investigation concerning the functioning of the generator coupled with AC/DC/AC ...

Using the FACTS controllers, such as static synchronous compensator (STATCOM), as it provides continuous reactive power, in the grid including wind turbine (WT) equipped with doubly fed induction generator, for improving voltage profile (under normal circumstances) and providing a transition ability from inductor generator transition state has been proposed. In this paper, in order to contr...

A new method has been developed for the detection of broken rotor bars fault in squirrel cage induction motor during startup regimes. The incipient detection of fault is made by using DWT analysis of FIR low pass filtered original startup transient current signal. The extracted particular characteristic evolution of the time-varying signal is used as a fault index. The method was tested using h...

Ahslract-The paper presents the performance analysis of a vector controlled cage induction motor drive. The drive is fed from a current controlled converterinverter system. The switching technique being used in control of the converter as well as inverter is PWM current control. Closed loop control of the cage induction motor utilizes fuzzy PID speed controller. The advantages offered by the cu...

This paper introduces a complete design and simulation of controller for the double fed induction generator (DFIG) turbine. The work also included solar updraft tower (SUT) to supply Al-Mahmoudia hospital in Baghdad/Iraq. includes daily average load estimation, annual irradiance and, temperature monitoring, logging.
 According data obtained from Ministry Science Technology, Baghdad has low...

A substantial portion of squirrel cage induction motor faults are stator related. An accurate transient model of squirrel cage induction machines under stator faults is presented here. A coupled magnetic circuits approach is used and very few restrictive assumptions are made. All parameters are calculated from the actual geometry and winding layout of the machines rather than from transformed o...
