PWM Inverters in induction motor drives are known to cause common-mode voltage which results in leakage current flowing through the parasitic capacitors to the ground and creates drawbacks such as shaft voltage, bearing current, electromagnetic interference problems. CMV elimination using conventional Three-level NPC multilevel topology has certain drawbacks. An improved SVPWM strategy using Du...

This paper reports the performance of a speed sensorless stand-alone Variable Speed Constant Frequency (VSCF) Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) capable of supplying all types of loads. The proposed method maintains the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of the machine current and the load voltage within acceptable limits. In contrast to previously proposed methods, in this paper, the stator si...

Winding is a key process in the manufacturing process of textile industry. The normal and effective operation of winding process plays a very important role on the textiles’ quality and economic effects. At present, a large proportion of bobbins which collected from winder still have yarn left over. The bobbin recycling is severely limited and quick running of winder is seriously restricted, th...

A transformer is the most valuable and expensive property for power utility, thus ensuring its reliable operation is a major task for both operators and researchers. Online impulse frequency response analysis has proven to be a promising technique for detecting transformer internal winding mechanical deformation faults when a power transformer is in service. However, as so far, there is still n...

This paper describes a quasi-fuzzy method of online stator-resistance estimation of an induction motor, where the resistance value is derived from stator-winding temperature estimation as a function of stator current and frequency through an approximate dynamic thermal model of the machine. The estimator has been designed and iterated by simulation study and then implemented by a digital signal...

Open-ended winding induction machines fed from standard two-level Voltage Source Inverters (VSI) provide an attractive arrangement for AC drives. An alternative approach is to use a dual output Indirect Matrix Converter (IMC). It is well known that the IMC provides fully bidirectional power flow operation, with small input size filter requirements. Whilst a standard IMC consists of an AC-DC mat...

The present paper approaches the comparative design and analysis of 5 SRM topologies for an EPAS application. Different number of phases and different combination of stator and rotor pole number will be considered, keeping the same main dimensions (outer and inner stator diameter, airgap length, stack length, stator pole height, stator yoke width, rotor pole height) and the same winding per pha...

This paper deals with a fault-tolerant semi-12-phase permanent-magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) used for electric vehicles. High fault-tolerant and low toque ripple features are achieved by employing fractional slot concentrated windings (FSCWs) and open windings. Excessive magnetomotive force (MMF) harmonic components can lead to thermal demagnetization of rotor magnets as well as high core l...

Dc excitation of the field winding in a synchronous machine can be provided by permanent magnets. Permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) can offer simpler construction, lower weight and size for the same performance, with reduced losses and higher efficiency. Thanks to the mentioned advantages these motors are widely used in different application, therefore analysis and modeling of the...
