The main theme of this paper is to present novel controller, which is a genetic based fuzzy Logic controller, for interior permanent magnet synchronous motor drives with direct torque control. A radial basis function network has been used for online tuning of the genetic based fuzzy logic controller. Initially different operating conditions are obtained based on motor dynamics incorporating...

This paper describes the optimum design of a permanent-magnet-assisted reluctance rotor of a 110 kW reluctance synchronous traction machine. Previous studies show that the performance of the pure reluctance synchronous machine drive deteriorates fast in the flux-weakening speed region. To address this problem, thin bonded permanent-magnet sheet material is used inside the flux barriers of the r...

A methodology is proposed for optimal shaping of permanent magnets with non-conventional and complex geometries, used in synchronous motors. The algorithm includes artificial neural network-based surrogate model and multi-objective search based optimization method that will lead to Pareto front solutions. An interior permanent magnet topology with crescent-shaped magnets is also introduced as t...

In Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Generators (PMSGs) the reduction of cogging torque is one of the most important problems in their performance and evaluation. In this paper, at first, a direct-drive vertical-axis wind turbine is chosen. According to its nominal value operational point, necessary parameters for the generator is extracted. Due to an analytical method, four generators with differen...

In this paper we want to describe proposal of the fuzzy control of synchronous motor with permanent magnet and impact of deployment of membership functions of fuzzy controller on a regulation quality of a synchronous permanent magnet motor (PMSM). In the first part of this paper is described mathematical model of synchronous motor with permanent magnets and designed controller by using fuzzy lo...

This paper presents the design, analysis and development of permanent magnet (PM) torque couplers. These couplers employ rare-earth magnets. Based on finite element analysis and earlier analytical works both concentric and face-type synchronous type couplers have been designed and fabricated. The experimental performance has good correlation with finite element calculations. Keywords—Finite Ele...

This chapter provides an introduction to the modeling and control of power generation from wind turbine systems. In modeling, the focus is on the electrical components: electrical machine (e.g. permanent-magnet synchronous generators), back-to-back converter (consisting of machine-side and grid-side converter sharing a common DC-link), mains filters and ideal (balanced) power grid. The aerodyna...

Permanent magnet generators for renewable energy application have been subject of research during last two decades. Several kinds of rotating electrical generators exist for several applications, including synchronous, induction and DC machines. Doubly Fed Induction Generator is proposed as an alternative solution with respect to the cost of such a system. However, a bigger emphasis in the repo...

This paper focuses on developing an integrated reliable and sophisticated model for ultra large wind turbines And to study the performance and analysis of vector control on large wind turbines. With the advance of power electronics technology, direct driven multi-pole radial flux PMSG (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator) has proven to be a good choice for wind turbines manufacturers.
