This paper presents a linear parameter estimation technique used to estimate the rotor resistance, self inductance of the rotor winding, stator resistance and the stator leakage inductance of an induction motor. Such estimation is important for achieving high estimation performance of induction motor drives. The parameters estimation model expresses the relationships of the dynamic machine mode...

In order to make a wind power generation truly cost-effective and reliable, an advanced control techniques must be used. In this paper, we develop a new control strategy, using nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) approach, for DFIG-based wind turbine. The DFIG is fed through the rotor windings by a back-to-back converter controlled by Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), where the stator winding...

In the presented paper, a sensorless driver circuit is designed, constructed and tested to control two types of three-phase Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM). The presented control algorithm has three steps. In the first step, the SRM is controlled by an open-loop method. In the second step, mathematical model of the SRM phase, motor parameters and flux-current-rotor position relation are used in...

This paper presents analysis and comparative study of a novel high-torque three-phase switched reluctance motor (SRM) with magnetically isolated stator segments. In the proposed SRM, each segment has a concentric winding located on the center body of it and two diametrically opposite windings which form the motor phase. There are four salient poles in the stator segment. Two of them share their...

In this article, a four-phase dual armature-winding wound-field doubly salient machine with distributed field magnetomotive forces (DAW-WFDSM-DF) and corresponding double-redundant rectifier circuit are proposed to improve the electromagnetic performance of traditional WFDSM in terms output voltage ripple, fault-tolerant capability capability. Firstly, due uniformly machine, more feasible stato...

Voltage sags and voltage interruptions are huge power quality problems for many industries. Voltage sags cause apart from eventual tripping, large torque peaks, which may cause damage to the shaft or equipment connected to the shaft. This paper illustrates how the stator flux in a synchronous machine changes during voltage sags. These changes result in torque peaks. An analytical time dependent...

Two different nonlinear dynamic control algorithms are presented for synchronous motors with damping windings: (i) an adaptive speed-sensorless controller for rotor position tracking in the presence of unknown constant load torque, on the basis of rotor angle, stator and field windings currents measurements; (ii) an adaptive control law for rotor speed tracking in the presence of uncertain cons...

This study is concerned with the magnetic force models of magnetic bearing in a flywheel energy storage system (FESS). The magnetic bearing is of hybrid type, with axial passive magnetic bearing (PMB) and radial hybrid magnetic bearing (HMB). For the PMB, a pair of ring-type Halbach arrays of permanent magnets are arranged vertically to support the rotor weight. For the HMB, a set of ring-type ...

the paper presents a mathematical base modeling combined to modified-winding -function-approach (mwfa) for eccentricity fault detection of a round-rotor synchronous machine. for this aim, a 6-pole machine is considered, and the machine inductances are computed by mwfa in healthy and also under eccentricity fault. a numerical discrete-time method has been proposed to machine modeling in voltage-...
