in conventional direct torque control (dtc), the stator flux is usually kept constant by controlling the x-axis component of the stator voltage in the stator flux reference frame. the torque is then controlled by the y-axis component of stator voltage. in this scenario, the stator current does not exceed its permissible value. however, in the so-called optimal efficiency mode, the induction mot...

An experimental investigation was carried out to examine the influence of the axial spacing between rotor and stator. The test facility of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology is made up of an inlet guide vane (IGV), a rotor and a stator. Temperature and aerodynamic measurements determined the characteristics of the compressor stage. Data were acquired over a range of flow coefficients for...

The bacterial flagellar motor rotates driven by an electrochemical ion gradient across the cytoplasmic membrane, either H(+) or Na(+) ions. The motor consists of a rotor ∼50 nm in diameter surrounded by multiple torque-generating ion-conducting stator units. Stator units exchange spontaneously between the motor and a pool in the cytoplasmic membrane on a timescale of minutes, and their stabilit...

Direct torque control (DTC) minimizes the use of machine parameters [1, 2]. Among all methods of torque control in induction motor, direct torque control (DTC) seems to be particularly interesting being independent of machine rotor parameters and requiring no speed or position sensors [3, 4, 5]. In spite of its simplicity, DTC is capable of generating fast torque responses. In DTC the torque an...

Direct Torque controlled induction motor (DTC-IM) drives have been used widely over last few decades. DTC-IM drives use the stator resistance of the motor for stator flux estimation which directly depends on the stator resistance of IM. Proper estimation of the stator resistance is very important because stator resistance varies due to the increase in temperature of the machine during operation...

The unbalanced voltages cause negative effects on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) such as torque pulsation and increased stator current. Based on the symmetrical component theory, the torque pulsation is the consequence of the interaction of stator and rotor currents of different sequences. This paper presents a control technique to reduce the effect of unbalanced voltages on the DFIG...

This paper proposes a rotor speed identification method for sensorless induction motor drives based on a model reference adaptive system (MRAS). In this scheme, the error between estimated stator current and real stator current is regarded as the system error to estimate the rotor speed. Adaptive fullorder flux observers for estimating the rotor speed are developed using Lyapunov’s stability th...

Due to the diminishing reserves of fossil fuels and increased pollution from exploitation of these fuels, the world is focusing on the renewable energy sources. Energy from tidal waves is one of the most exciting forms of renewable energy because of its consistent nature. Hence, the predictable, consistent and reliable nature of marine currents has enthused the researchers to emphasize on harne...

most of the methods that have been proposed for speed estimation of induction machines require the rotor and the stator resistance to change in the normal operating range. on the other hand, estimation of the rotor resistance requires rotor speed. in this paper, after studying conditions for simultaneous estimation of rotor speed and rotor resistance, a method for simultaneous estimation of rot...

The bacterial flagellar motor generates torque by converting the energy of proton translocation through the transmembrane proton channel of the stator complex formed by MotA and MotB. The MotA/B complex is thought to be anchored to the peptidoglycan (PG) layer through the PG-binding domain of MotB to act as the stator. The stator units dynamically associate with and dissociate from the motor du...
