single-phase squirrel cage and three-phase induction electromotors are the most popular electromotors used in industry from long ago. when an induction motor starts with direct connection method, it takes a lot of current from the power supply (several times the nominal current); so, several methods have been devised to start such electromotors. these methods either reduce the voltage of the st...

This paper gives an overview of various electric machines for application to renewable energy harvesting, and reveals the corresponding challenges and research opportunities. After introducing various renewable energies and electric machines, the concept of renewable energy machines is coined. Then, the existing machines, including the DC, induction and synchronous types, for renewable energy h...

The paper presents diagnostics of induction motor stator faults. The decision on stator winding condition has been taken using the axial flux and based on artificial neural network with radial basis transfer function. The axial flux has been measured for different configuration of stator winding. On the basis of research it can be concluded that the axial flux can be successfully used in detect...

The Direct Torque Control (DTC) is well known as an effective control technique for high performance drives in a wide variety of industrial applications and conventional DTC technique uses two constant reference value: torque and stator flux. In this paper, fuzzy logic based stator flux optimization technique for DTC drives that has been proposed. The proposed fuzzy logic based stator flux opti...

Abstract—In this paper, a direct torque control space vector modulation (DTC-SVM) scheme is presented for a six-phase speed and voltage sensorless induction motor (IM) drive. The decoupled torque and stator flux control is achieved based on IM stator flux field orientation. The rotor speed is detected by on-line estimating of the rotor angular slip speed and stator vector flux speed. In additio...

Direct Torque Control (DTC) is well known as an effective control technique for high performance drives in a wide variety of industrial applications and conventional DTC technique uses two constant reference value: torque and stator flux. In this paper, a new fuzzy based stator flux optimizer has been proposed for DTC controlled induction motor drivers and simulation studies have been carried o...

This paper presents a magnetic field analysis of an original Doubly-Excited Brushless Reluctance Machine (DEBRM). The stator of the DEBRM consists of two sets windings with different pole numbers. The rotor is an axially laminated structure with a pole number different from either of the stator windings. The finite element method is applied by which the magnetic vector potentials under no-load ...

Abstract—This paper proposed an estimation approach of temperature rise in stator winding and rotor magnet of a surfaced-mounted permanent magnet (PM) AC motor. By using the 3rd-order extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm in rotating reference frame, stator winding resistance and rotor PM flux-linkage can be estimated independently. After comparing the estimation results of resistance and flux...

The bacterial flagellar motor (BFM) rotates hundreds of times per second to propel bacteria driven by an electrochemical ion gradient. The motor consists of a rotor 50 nm in diameter surrounded by up to 11 ion-conducting stator units, which exchange between motors and a membrane-bound pool. Measurements of the torque-speed relationship guide the development of models of the motor mechanism. In ...

According to tradition, permanent maglev cannot achieve stable equilibrium. The authors have developed, to the contrary, two stable permanent maglev impeller blood pumps. The first pump is an axially driven uni-ventricular assist pump, in which the rotor with impeller is radially supported by two passive magnetic bearings, but has one point contact with the stator axially at standstill. As the ...
