Virtual services on computation resources like CPUs and storages are supported to applications by using virtual machines in server clusters. Virtual machines with application processes can migrate from host servers to guest servers. In this paper, we discuss a process migration approach to reducing total electric energy consumption of servers by taking advantage of virtual machines in a cluster...

Three phase induction machines for traction applications in electric and hybrid electric vehicles can be used with a fixed gear due to the wide speed range enabled by field weakening. Although the induction machine is know as an extremely reliable and robust device, machine faults may occur. Machine faults which do not become detected may cause complete failure of the vehicle. Therefore, early ...

Most simulation models of electric machines use the coupled circuit approach, where the machine is considered as an electric circuit element with time-varying inductances (abc model) or with constant inductances (dq0 model). On the other hand, the rotating magnetic field approach, which considers the electric machine as two groups of windings producing rotating magnetic fields and can give insi...

Objective(s)Bioelectrical impedance is the measure of impedance of the body. Impedance consists of electric resistance and reactance. Phase angle (PA) is the tan value of the ratio of reactance versus electric resistance. PA depends on cell membrane integrity and on body cell mass. There exists a correlation between PA values and body cell mass.The objective of this study was to compare the PA ...

Electric machines are driven nowadays by static system popularly known as soft starter. This paper describes a thyristor based static frequency converter (SFC) to run a large synchronous machine installed at a short circuit test laboratory. Normally a synchronous machine requires prime mover or some other driving mechanism to run. This machine doesn’t need a prime mover as it operates in dual m...

The paper presents a surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous machine (SMPMSM) with distributed windings. The main focus of the paper is to provide a new calculation method of electric machine losses, including copper losses and iron losses at load. This method based on the separation of injected current in d-q axes and the developed iron loss models expressing the dependence between the fl...

In the automotive industry, electromagnetic variable reluctance (VR) sensors have been extensively used to measure engine position and speed through a toothed wheel mounted on the crankshaft. In this work, an application that already uses the VR sensing unit for engine and/or transmission has been chosen to infer, this time, the indirect position of the electric machine in a parallel Hybrid Ele...

Proper use of exploratory factor analysis (EFA) requires the researcher to make a series of careful decisions. Despite attempts by Floyd and Widaman (1995), Fabrigar, Wegener, MacCallum, and Strahan (1999), and others to elucidate critical issues involved in these decisions, examples of questionable use of EFA are still common in the applied factor analysis literature. Poor decisions regarding ...

Axial Flux Permanent Magnet (AFPM) machines are attractive candidates for Electric Vehicles (EVs) applications due to their axial compact structure, high efficiency, high power and torque density. This paper presents general design characteristics of AFPM machines. Moreover, torque density of the machine which is selected as main objective function, is enhanced by using Genetic Algorithm (GA) a...
