The objective of this paper is to investigate the performance of 8/6 switched reluctance motor (SRM) when excited with sinusoidal voltage. The conventional R dump converter provides DC excitation with the help of capacitor. In this paper the converter used is the modified R dump converter without DC link capacitor providing AC or sinusoidal excitation. Torque ripple and speed ripple are investi...

Axial Flux Ironless permanent magnetic synchronous motor (AFIPMSM) is a new permanent magnetic motor. It has many advantages, such as high torque-to-weight ratio, good efficiency, no cogging torque, and the sinusoidal back EMF. It gradually becomes the good choice in drive system. However, the small armature winding inductance causes the current is not continued with the PWM control based on VS...

For experiments at the torque meter, flies are kept on standard fly medium at 25 degrees C and 60% humidity with a 12hr light/12hr dark regime. A standardized breeding regime assures proper larval density and age-matched cohorts. Cold-anesthetized flies are glued with head and thorax to a triangle-shaped hook the day before the experiment. Attached to the torque meter via a clamp, the fly's int...

This paper describes the use of fuzzy logic controller for efficiency optimization control of a drive while keeping good dynamic response. At steady-state light-load condition, the fuzzy controller adaptively adjusts the excitation current with respect to the torque current to give the minimum total copper and iron loss. The measured input power such that, for a given load torque and speed, the...

In this paper, an overview of the techniques applied to AC electric propulsion field has been done. Actual study cases of electric ship propulsion schemes are considered. An impartial comparison between three-level converters versus two-level converter from the viewpoint of electric ship propulsion requirements has been done. Diodeclamped three-level converters using direct torque control (DTC)...

The paper presents the transient analysis of a 1.7 MVA wind-power doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) connected to the network and controlled by modified direct torque control during power system disturbances. The finite element model of DFIG is coupled with circuit models of frequency converter, transformer, network and control part in Matlab-Simulink. The transient currents and electromagne...

Enhancement of fault ride-through (FRT) capability and subsequent improvement of rotor speed stability of wind farms equipped with doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is the objective of this paper. The objective is achieved by employing a novel FRT scheme with suitable control strategy. The proposed FRT scheme, which is connected between the rotor circuit and dc link capacitor in parallel wi...
