Fish-like, dolphin-like, and bionic nonsmooth surfaces were employed in a hydraulic torque converter to achieve drag reduction and performance improvement, which were aimed at reducing profile loss, impacting loss and friction loss, respectively. YJSW335, a twin turbine torque converter, was bionically designed delicately. The biological characteristics consisted of fish-like blades in all four...

DC motor widely used-high precision digital controls. Speed control of dc motor is achieved with smooth starter by using buck converter. Hard switching causes unsatisfactory dynamic behaviour produces abrupt variations in the V & I of the motor overcome by dc-dc buck power converter by PI controller. A separately excited dc motor is used for this simulation. The proposed system with PI control ...

This paper proposes a control methodology for compensation of grid voltage unbalances using a new scheme of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) based on a series grid side converter (SGSC), the seriesDFIG scheme. In such DFIG scheme, the grid side converter (GSC), which is usually connected in parallel to the machine stator, is replaced by the SGSC, connected in series with the machine stator...

This paper studies fault-tolerant operation of multipole single-phase switched reluctance generators (SRG’s), in particular, an 8/8-pole switched reluctance machine. The multipole single-phase SRG system is advantageous for reduced cost and higher efficiency compared to polyphase equivalents. However, using the classical phase-leg topology, a phase fault may prevent generating operation complet...

Due to the small inductance, modulation of three phase inverter induces serious torque ripple. In addition, the increase in modulation frequency is limited by the processor speed. Therefore, the traditional torque control approaches are not suitable. In order to solve the aforementioned problems, a new instantaneous torque control method for small inductance brushless dc motor is proposed by im...

Momentum flywheels are widely applied for the generation of small and precise torque for the attitude control and inertial stabilization of satellites and space stations. Due to its inherited system nonlinearity, the tracking performance of the flywheel torque/speed in dynamic/plug braking operations is limited when a conventional controller is employed. To take advantage of the well-separated ...
