This paper discusses how the switched reluctance generator (SRG) converts mechanical energy from wind via turbine into electrical energy as directed by an electronic controller. Starting with a review of the electromechanical energy conversion principles, the paper examines the implications of the energy conversion process on how the SRG is controlled. The structure of the SRG controller for sp...

This paper presents the three phase AC/DC converter drive effects on the linearity of the Torque-speed characteristics. A MATLAB/Simulink realization of the three phase AC/DC converter drive is described. The DC motor speed control is achieved by controlling the voltage applied to the armature circuit using three phase AC/DC converter drive. A comparison between the application of three phase s...

A torque converter, which is a hydrodynamic clutch in automatic transmissions, transmits power from the engine shaft to the transmission shaft either by dynamically multiplying the engine torque or by rigidly coupling the engine and transmission shafts. The torque converter is a critical element in the automatic driveline, and it affects the vehicle’s fuel consumption and longitudinal dynamics....

a few papers have been interested by the fixed switching frequency direct torque control fed by direct matrix converters, where we can find just the use of direct torque controlled space vector modulated method. In this present paper, we present an improved method used for a fixed switching frequency direct torque control (DTC) using a direct matrix converter (DMC). This method is characterized...

This paper presents math-based torque converter modelling and simulation in both forward flow mode and reverse flow mode operations. Since, a torque converter plays an important role in transferring power from an engine shaft to the transmission shaft and vice versa and affects the fuel consumption and vehicle longitudinal dynamics, simulating the dynamic behaviour of this component in differen...

The Center for Transportation Research (CTR) Vehicle Systems team modified a Nissan CK-2 Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) for a diesel hybrid powertrain application. Mechanical and electrical modifications were made to the CVT, both internal and external to the transmission. The goal of this experiment was to investigate and demonstrate the potential of CVT for diesel engines hybrid ele...

This paper presents a comparative study on the Predictive Direct Torque Control method and the Indirect Space Vector Modulation Direct Torque Control method for a Doubly-Fed Induction Machine (DFIM) which its rotor is fed by an Indirect Matrix Converter (IMC). In Conventional DTC technique, good transient and steady-state performances are achieved but it presents a non constant switching fr...

Variable speed operation is essential for large wind turbines in order to optimize the energy capture under variable wind speed conditions. Variable speed wind turbines require a power electronic interface converter to permit connection with the grid. The power electronics can be either partially-rated or fully-rated [1]. A popular interface method for large wind turbines that is based on a par...

This paper is focused on Fuzzy Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) algorithm based field oriented control system for induction motor fed by Matrix Converter drive. The use of fuzzy ELM algorithm based ANN Controllers in the FOC system reduces the computation time. The controller is used to compute the appropriate set of switching voltage vectors for matrix converter to achieve the maximum efficiency...

This paper presents passive boost converter fed three phase switched reluctance motor using PI Controller. The operating mode of proposed converter circuit is discussed. The proposed converter is capable of minimizing the torque ripple because of faster excitation and demagnetization and also improving the average torque compared to the conventional converter circuit. The objective of this pape...
