A method for robotized cable winding of the Uppsala University Wave Energy Converter generator stator has previously been presented and validated. The purpose of this study is to present and validate further developments to the method: automated stand-alone equipment for the preparation of the winding cables. The cable preparation consists of three parts: feeding the cable from a drum, forming ...

Playing with the competition between H- and coordination-bonds, a bi-stable unsymmetrical organometallic turnstile was designed and its dynamic behaviour was studied in solution using NMR techniques. The turnstile, bearing two differentiated interaction sites, is based on a stator, composed of a square planar Pt(II) centre equipped with one pyridyl group and one phenol moiety, connected to a sy...

In this paper the fault detection problem is solved using an alternative methodology based on a fuzzy/Bayesian strategy combining a Bayesian network and the fuzzy set theory. The new important issue in this proposed methodology is to address uncertainties in the input of the Bayesian Network. This contribution is possible since the fuzzy set theory is used as the knowledge representation. To il...

In this paper effort is made for the torque ripple minimization of 70 W, 24 Volt, 350 rpm, surface mounted radial permanent brushless DC (SPM BLDC) motor. The stator slot shaping is analyzed. The results obtained from FE analyses have been discussed. Design of stator slots have influence upon the cogging torque. Options available for slot designs viz, square type slots, square with curved tangs...

In this paper, we have investigated a new prototype of 24 slots stator core for 0.5hp induction motor with reduced slots to predict wherever the maximum localized flux distribution and localized power loss to be occurred. In order to evaluate the performance of this new prototype, we measured localized flux distribution in various places using search coils and also measured localized power loss...

This paper presents the performances evaluation of different wavelet transform under broken rotor bars fault diagnosis. In this report, stator phase current was used for wavelet analysis. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) coefficients of stator current in a specific frequency band are derived and analyzed. Wavelets db8, db9, db10, sym7 and sym8 are employed to analyze broken bar distorted stator...

Hermetic compressor motor design face the challenge today that reducing the motor size for cost reason. This causes a higher motor power density and in turns a higher motor temperature. With the help of CFD computation tool, we investigated two ways to improve the motor cooling and bring the motor temperature down. One way is to put rotor ventilation channels to increase the flow in lower press...

In the paper, a new low-order parametric force model for an electrical machine with eccentric rotor is developed and verified. The model is designed for an electrical machine equipped with both the parallel stator windings and rotor cage, and, therefore, accounts for the equalising currents in the stator and rotor windings separately and also for their influence on each other. Furthermore, the ...

The demand for drives with high quality torque control has grown tremendously in a wide variety of applications. Direct torque control (DTC) for permanent magnet synchronous motors can provide this accurate and fast torque control. When applying DTC the change of the stator flux linkage vector is controlled. As such the estimation of the stator flux linkage is essential. In this paper the perfo...

Recently, speed sensorless control of induction motor drives received great attention to avoid the different problems associated with direct speed sensors. However, low speed operation with robustness against parameter variations remains an area of research for sensorless systems. Stator resistance is of greatest importance for good operation of speed sensorless systems in low speed region. In ...
