A robust control algorithm is always needed to harvest maximum power from a Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) by operating it consistently at Maximum Power Point (MPP) in the presence of wind speed variations. In this work, Tracking (MPPT) designed via Conventional Sliding Mode Control (CSMC), Super Twisting Algorithm (STA), and Real (RTA) applied Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG...

A turn fault in the stator winding of a generator causes a large circulating current to flow in the shorted turns. If left undetected, turn faults can propagate, leading to phaseground or phase-phase faults. Incipient detection of turn’s faults is essential to avoid hazardous operating conditions and reduce down time. At present the synchronous generators are protected against almost all kind o...

A Multivariable Control System is designed for an Electromagnetic Bearing and Rotating Shaft System. The Linear Quadratic Gaussian with Loop Transfer Recovery (LQG/LTR) methodology is used to design a robust Model Based Compensator (MBC). The electromagnetic bearing consists of an electromagnetic actuator, operated in magnetic "attractive" force mode, with permanent magnet biased coils. The per...

Robots promise to enhance minimally-invasive surgery, but flexion of the thin instrument shaft introduces error into models of the robot kinematics. Visual or electromagnetic tracking of the instrument tip provides correct forward kinematics, but uncertainty in shaft bending and port location leaves residual errors in inverse kinematics. These errors can cause incorrect motions that preclude th...

Abstract Shaft voltage often exists in synchronous generators due to the assembly error or various faults after long‐term performance. The article investigates shaft characteristic under stator interturn short circuit (SISC) condition. Different from other studies, this mainly considers mapping relationship between amplitude–frequency characteristics of and SISC degrees. detailed expressions ar...

To achieve both accumulator pressure regulation and generator power tracking for a Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) system, a nonlinear controller designed base on an energy based Lyapunov function. The control inputs for the storage system are the pump/motor displacements inside the hydraulic transformer and the liquid piston air compressor/expander. While the pump/motor inside the liquid ...
