Design and analysis of a novel stator–doubly-fed doubly salient motor for electric vehicles

Brushless Doubly-Fed Reluctance Machine Optimization using Reluctance Networks

The Brushless Doubly-Fed Reluctance Machine (BDFRM) is being considered as a viable generator alternative to be used in wind turbines. However, a literature review shows that there is still a lack of researches to define a design procedure to make this machine commercial. This paper aims to address this issue by considering a new BDFRM design method using a reluctance network approach with focu...

Adaptive Fuzzy Control of a Variable Speed Power Generating System with Doubly Excited Reluctance Machine

Fuzzy control methods are developed for a high efficient variable speed constant frequency power generating system, with wind power generation as an example. In slip power recovery configuration, the system is composed of a doubly excited brushless reluctance machine and a reduced rating power electronic converter unit linking the stator secondary circuit with the power line. The doubly excited...

Control Methods for Doubly-Fed Reluctance Machines

The paper considers aspects of scalar V/f control, vector control and direct torque (and flux) control (DTC) of an emerging cost-effective technology for limited speed range applications the brushless doubly fed reluctance machine (BDFRM). Apart from giving a comprehensive review of the various control methods, its major contribution is the presentation and experimental verification of a sensor...

Integrated, variable-reluctance magnetic minimotor

The use of lithography and electroplating to fabricate variable-reluctance, nearly planar, integrated minimotors with 6-mm-diameter rotors on silicon wafers is described. The motors consist of six electroplated Permalloy@ horseshoe-shaped cores that surround the rotor. Copper coils are formed around each core. The Permalloy and copper electroplating baths, electroplating seed layers, and throug...
