Magnetic Coupled Circuits Modeling of Induction Machines Oriented to Diagnostics

Abstract In this paper, a transient model of the faulty machine is developed. The model is referred to a three phase stator winding, while the rotor has been represented by all the meshes allowing for the representation of various faults. The model is based on coupled magnetic circuit theory by considering that the current in each bar is an independent variable. The model incorporates non-sinus...

Controlling Super-Intelligent Machines

This question assumes that we would want to control a SIM, rather than granting it complete freedom. Science fiction abounds with stories in which a SIM pursues a plan that does not please its human creators. For example, Colossus (the inspiration for the movie The Forbin Project) presents a plausible scenario involving a SIM created to manage the nuclear weaponry of the USA [6]. In the end, th...

Accounting for magnetic saturation in induction machines modelling

A new model is developed for (uniform air-gap) induction motor that accounts for the saturation feature of the machine magnetic circuit. It is built-up starting from the basic electrical/mechanical laws and turns out to be quite different from the standard model that is widely used in control oriented literature. Specifically, the new model involves state-dependent parameters. An experimental v...
