Robust stability and performance of an induction machine controlled with Indirect Self Control (ISC) are examined through μ-analysis. The analysis indicates poor robust performance at higher rotor speeds. Using reasonable parameter deviations between plant and controller, the predicted bad performance is however hard to verify through simulations. The tested parameter variations seem not to gen...

In magnetomechanical applications, it is necessary to calculate the magnetic force or torque of specific objects. If fluid involved, and also include effect pressure caused by fluid. The standard method solve Navier–Stokes equation. However, obtaining body density still under controversy. To resolve this problem, paper shows that calculation these applications should not only use method, but co...

 Abstract— A sliding-mode observer for the rotor flux and speed of an induction motor is presented in this paper. It is also proposed another observer that is a modification of the original one to reduce the errors and improve the obtained speed results. The observer is used in a sensorless Indirect Field Oriented Control (IFOC). The original and modified observers are executed in an experimen...

This paper presents the performance of the extended Kalman filter (EKF) for speed sensorless indirect field oriented control (IFOC) of a squirrel cage induction motor (IM) supplied by a pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage-source inverter. The rotor speed of the induction motor is estimated, according to this method, using the direct measurements of the stator voltages and currents without the s...

The detection of broken rotor bars in three-phase squirrel cage induction motors by means of current signature analysis is presented. In order to diagnose faults, a Neural Network approach is used. At first the data of different rotor faults are achieved. The effects of different rotor faults on current spectrum, in comparison with other fault conditions, are investigated via calculating Power ...

A nano coaxial rotor was designed, fabricated and studied experimentally at an ultralow Reynolds number ranging from 5000 to 20,000. The Minimum Induced Loss theory was employed to optimize the geometry of nano coaxial rotor with the introduction of weights to take into account the interference of upper rotor and lower rotor. The chord and twist distributions of both rotors were achieved as a r...

This work deals with effects of asymmetric stiffness on the dynamic behaviour of the rotor system. The analysis is presented through an extended Lagrangian Hamiltonian mechanics on the asymmetric rotor system, where symmetries are broken in terms of the rotor stiffness. The complete dynamics of asymmetries of rotor system is investigated with a case study. In this work, a mathematical model is ...

In this article, turbulent flow heat transfer in the air gap between rotor and stator of a generator under nonhomogeneous heat flux is studied experimentally. The rotor consists of four symmetrical triangular grooves. The stator surface is smooth and does not include any grooves. The relative heat flux between the rotor and the stator is 1 to 3. Temperature and heat flux are measured locally at...

Crack fault of rotor is one of the most prominent problems faced by magnetic bearing rotor system. In order to improve the safety performance of this kind of machinery, it is necessary to research the vibration characteristics of magnetic bearing cracked rotor system. In this paper, the stiffness model of the crack shaft element was established by the strain energy release rate (SERR) theory. T...

The effects of lobe tip design parameters on compressor performance were evaluated by utilizing a computer simulation package and taking SRM-D asymmetric type rotor profile as an example. The result suggests that the requirements for high efficiency, large capacity, low inter-rotor contact force and low viscous friction loss do not always lead to the use of the same lobe tip designs. Of all the...
