Inrush currents in transformers are non-sinusoidal, high magnitude currents generated due to flux saturation in the core during energization. For protection purpose, in this paper an efficient method for detection of inrush current in distribution transformer based on wavelet transform is presented. Using this method inrush current can be discriminated from the other switching transients such a...

This paper presents Electric Vehicle (EV) propulsion using a three phase squirrel cage induction motor. The motor control at different operating conditions is carried out by a direct torque control technique with an energy optimization strategy. The operating flux of the motor is chosen optimally using model based control strategy. Simulation tests have been carried out using MATLAB SIMULINK to...

Since the magnetizing characteristics are highly non-linear in nature, the torque ripple is high in the Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM). The torque ripple can be minimized by using a novel control technique called Direct Torque Control (DTC). In DTC technique, torque is controlled directly through control of magnitude of the flux-linkage and change in speed of the stator flux vector. The flux a...

The Direct Torque Control (DTC) is a high-dynamic and high performance control technique for induction motor drives which has been developed in the last two decades [1]-[8] as possible alternative solution to DC servo drives. In direct-torque-controlled adjustable speed drives the motor flux and the electromagnetic torque are the reference quantities which are directly controlled by the applied...

We study the quantum operation of coupled superconducting flux qubits under a microwave irradiation. The flux qubits can be described as magnetic dipole moments in the limit of weak microwave field amplitude consistent with usual experimental situations. With the Hamiltonian for coupled qubits under a microwave field, we show that a strong coupling enables to realize the high performance contro...

Direct Torque Control of induction motor fed drives has become popular and widely used in industries due to fast and good torque response. Induction motors (IM) are simple in construction and are less sensitive to the motor parameters compared to other vector control methods. A new torque and flux control scheme called the direct torque control (DTC) has been introduced for induction motors. In...

Two different methods for direct torque control (DTC) of induction motor fed from current source inverter (CSI) is analyzed in the paper. The first one is derived from well-known DTC strategy developed for voltage inverter drives. This type of control basically uses hysteresis type controllers for torque and flux. In CSI drive there is only one controller used for torque control loop. The probl...

Dual permanent magnet (PM) machines have attracted numerous interests due to the high torque density and compact volume . This article investigates a synergistic PM with synergies of flux switching reversal effects. The flux-reversal flux-switching (FSPM) paths circulate from two sides split te...

This paper presents a simple approach to design and implementation of Direct Torque Control (DTC) of three phase squirrel cage induction motor using Matlab/Simulink and FPGA software. The direct torque control of induction machine is a simple control. To maintain this simple control structure while at the same time improving the performance of the DTC drives two simple new techniques i.e. const...
