The aim is to create a Simple control mechanism for speed variations of a HIGH POWER SRIM – Slip Ring Induction motor as an extension to the available Non slip power recovery mechanisms available for low power SRIMs. The most basic ways to control the speed of a slip ring induction motor is either from the STATOR OR ROTOR SIDE. The mechanism employed here is to control the speed via a Single th...

To effectively simplify system structure and improve power density and efficiency, a design for a motor/generator suitable for flywheel energy storage system (FESS) is proposed. The machine is an outer-rotor and coreless-stator-type bearingless permanent magnet synchronous motor (BPMSM) with a Halbach array. Firstly, the operation principle of the outer-rotor BPMSM is described. Then, the struc...

The paper proposes a novel method for improving performance of a Three Phase wound rotor induction motor using an indirect reactive current control scheme in the rotor. A 3 phase VSI with a dynamic capacitor is connected in the rotor circuit for controlling the reactive current in the rotor. The dynamic capacitor is an Hbridge switch with a capacitor in which the duty ratio of the Hbridge circu...

It is important to clarify the eddy current losses in permanent magnet rotor for temperature rising to induce irreversible demagnetization when the bearingless permanent magnet synchronous motor (BPMSM) is operating at high speed. In this paper, the torque and radial suspension force producing mechanisms of BPMSM are introduced. The relative motion relationships among radial suspension force, r...

Hardware complexity of a motor drive can be reduced by estimating controls rather than measuring using sensors. In this way the corresponding sensors are eliminated and the system becomes more robust. This article is about speed control of a sensor less induction motor with predictive current controller technique. This particular speed control technique does not require direct measurements of m...

This paper compares four prototype Synchronous Reluctance Motors (SynRMs) having an identical geometry of iron lamination stacks in the stator and rotor. Two different stator winding layouts are employed: a conventional three-phase star connection and a combined star–delta winding. In addition, two rotors are considered: a conventional rotor without magnets and a rotor with ferrite magnets. The...

The numerous qualities of squirrel cage induction machines enhance their use in industry. However, various faults can occur, such as stator short-circuits and rotor failures. In this paper, we use a technique based on the spectral analysis of stator current in order to detect the fault in the machine: broken rotor bars. Thus, the number effect of the breaks has been highlighted. The effect is h...

The vibration originated from the rotor’s unbalance mass impacts on the current oscillation. When the rotor rotating at high speed, power amplifier circuit will be burned down by excessive vibration control current, and at the same time the excessive control force will be generated. The vibrating force transfers to frame, which causes the system vibration and influence the dynamic properties an...

This paper proposes a back electromotive force estimation error compensation method for accurate rotor position estimation of surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motors. When estimating the rotor position of surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor sensorless drives, a direct current offset error component occurs in the voltage sensor. As a result, the rotor position is disto...

The aim of this paper is to investigate and detect the multiple faults in machines using broken rotor bar and eccentricity fault frequencies techniques. It is proposed that using both current and instantaneous power signals simultaneously, will detect the multiple faults reliably, specifically using broken rotor bar fault frequencies and eccentricity fault frequencies under various load conditi...
