This paper presents a simulation model for the operation of two series pumps, the second being driven with variable speed. Although this is not usual for this type of configuration that requires generally both pumps working at the same speed, it seems to be preferred in practice. The model was developed so that to be able to quickly check the efficiency variable speed drives based on real value...

A new dual stator winding induction machine drive is described in this paper. The proposed induction machine consists of a standard squirrel-cage rotor and a stator with two separate windings wound for a dissimilar number of poles. Each stator winding is fed from an independent variable-frequency variablevoltage inverter. The proposed drive offers such advantages as speed sensor less operation,...

Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) variable-speed drive is widely used in the industry because of its particularly high mechanical power density, simplicity and cost effectiveness. Eliminating the mechanical sensor mounted on the shaft of the motors gives further improvement. These drives are referred to as “sensorless” electrical drives. In this paper a novel sensorless algorithm is pro...

This study proposes a novel frame anti-vibration controller for position sensorless PMSM drive application. This controller is called specific component reduction controller (SCRC). SCRC can function without an accelerometer and can achieve speed variable control. This study mainly comprises the following phases. First, the position sensorless control method will be provided. Second, the frame ...

The Direct Torque Control (DTC) of induction machine has received wide acceptance in many Variable Speed Drive (VSD) applications due to its simple control structure and excellent torque dynamic control performances. However, the conventional DTC which employs a two-level inverter and hysteresis controllers produces two major drawbacks, namely, larger torque ripple and variable switching freque...

in this research paper, the performance of an air-cored axial flux permanent magnet synchronous generator is evaluated for low speed, direct drive applications using 3d finite element modeling and experimental tests. the structure of the considered machine consists of double rotor and coreless stator, which results in the absence of core losses, reduction of stator weight and elimination of cog...

Efficiency and recuperation capabilities of modern electrical drives have become very important features within variable speed drive applications. Regenerative electrical drives are therefore usually equipped with cost extensive pulsed active front end topologies for the recuperation mode. Contrarily, the much cheaper fundamental frequency switched front end is used. It has no electrolytic capa...
