This paper focuses on the modeling of a cage induction machine drive under direct-field oriented control, also referred to as flux-vector control. The interest is to create a behavioral model of an induction machine drive under field orientation for sytem simulations since field-oriented control is now commonplace in commerical adjustable speed drives. First, the 3phase induction machine model ...

This paper presents a novel variable-frequency motor drive system for a three-phase induction machine. In this drive system, the machine is excited by unidirectional stator currents shaped and sequenced such that a rotating air-gap flux is induced so that the machine can operate. Due to the unidirectional nature of the currents, an “inverter” that incorporates only three active, insulated-gate-...

Abstract – In direct torque control, the selection of an applied voltage vector is based on the measured parameters at the beginning of the sampling period. The delay between the measurement and the application of the voltage vector is the origin of an extra torque ripple. In this paper, a new predictive controller is proposed for compensating this delay and reducing the torque ripple. The stat...

this paper represents the performance of a squirrel-cage high temperature superconducting induction/ synchronous motor (hts-ism) based on nonlinear electrical equivalent circuit. the structure of the hts-ism is the same as that of the squirrel-cage type induction machine, and the secondary windings are fabricated by the use of the hts wires. it has already been shown that based on the experimen...

This paper describes the optimum design of a permanent-magnet-assisted reluctance rotor of a 110 kW reluctance synchronous traction machine. Previous studies show that the performance of the pure reluctance synchronous machine drive deteriorates fast in the flux-weakening speed region. To address this problem, thin bonded permanent-magnet sheet material is used inside the flux barriers of the r...

Problem Statement: Axial flux permanent magnet machines are regarded as compact high efficiency generators for micro-turbines employed in the distributed power generation systems. Highspeed rotor of the generator causes some designing and modeling problems. Sensitivity analysis tasks of the machine parameters are difficult and completely different in comparison with the problems associated with...
