Overvoltage and overcurrent resulting from various faults cause instability in Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG)-based wind turbines connected to a grid. The grid code requirement must be met during minimize the effect of these problems. Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT) capability is used meet requirement. It important use coordinate control for transient states LVRT capability. This study a...

Self-organization of filaments in dielectric-barrier discharges (DBDs) probably has many origins. However, the dominant cause is proposed to be the accumulation of charge on the surfaces of the bounding dielectrics that reinforces successive discharge pulses to occur at the same locations. A secondary cause is the electrostatic repulsion of individual plasma filaments. Self-organization typical...

Present-day small hydropower plants (SHPs) have a large development potential because of the increasing interest in renewable resources and distributed energy generation, therefore, there are many SHPs in places of China where are rich in water resources. However, it has caused overvoltages in the distribution network, and which is even worse for the switching overvoltage such as isolated netwo...

In this chapter, a new method for stator resistance compensation in direct torque control (DTC) drives, based on neural networks, is presented. The estimation of electromagnetic torque and stator flux linkages using the measured stator voltages and currents is crucial to the success of DTC drives. The estimation is dependent only on one machine parame‐ ter, which is the stator resistance. Chang...

This paper presets steady state behavior of Direct Torque Control (DTC) of Induction motor (IM) drive. As in direct torque and flux control scheme electromagnetic torque and stator flux magnitude of induction motor drive is limited in closed loop without shaft sensors voltage modulator. This values are calculated with the help of dc link voltage of inverter and stator current. As during estimat...

In this paper some sensorless strategies for induction motor drives are reviewed and analyzed. A method for accurately obtaining the PWM stator voltage is used to minimize the problem of estimating stator flux from the stator voltage equation in low speeds. A Gopinath style stator flux observer is presented and its capability to compensate for stator voltage errors is discussed.

A complete module for single-photon counting and timing is demonstrated in a single chip. Features comparable with or better than commercially available macroscopic modules are obtained by integration of an active-quenching and active-reset circuit in complementary metal-oxide semiconductor technology together with a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD). The integrated SPAD has a 12-microm-diam...

This article proposes a strategy to safely turn-off an electric drive system in case of fault without destroying the power module and machine. Classic strategies, such as active short circuit (ASC) freewheeling (FW), are adopted state art for vehicle applications. However, these methods cause either high currents machine or overvoltage dc-link capacitor, should be designed withstand unwanted ef...
