Green house effect has becomes a serious concern in many countries due to the increase consumption of the fossil fuel. There have been many studies to find an alternative power source. Wind energy found to be one of the most useful solutions to help in overcoming the air pollution and global. There is no agreed solution to conversion of wind energy to electrical energy. In this paper, the advan...

A iicwly dcsigncd optiinal control mctliod is prcswitcd. The proposcd controller i s dcsigncd via combining classical sink Eecdback conlrol and variable slructure control (VSC). This new method fully matches the merits of the easy design of the linear quadratic (LQ) method and the strong robustiicss o f thc VSC. Thc prescntcd optimal control mcthod is dcnlonstrated on il synchronous reluctance ...

The important problems to be solved in Linear Switched Reluctance Machines (LSRMs) are: (1) to design the shape and size of poles in stator and translator cores; (2) to optimize their geometrical configuration. A novel stator geometry for LSRMs that improved the force profile was presented in this study. In the new geometry, pole shoes were affixed on the stator poles. Static and dynamic charac...

Shaft position sensing is an essential part of switched reluctance (SR) motor drive In order to synchronize the pulses of phase current with the period of rising inductance of the proper motor phase. Direct sensors such as, Hall effect and optical encoder are commonly used in SR motors. The purpose of this paper is to present an indirect shaft positioning sensing known as "sensorless " control ...

The main topic of this paper is to examine the impact on induction machine magnetic noise of a new stator magnetic circuit design. This new design was developed in order to increase AC machine energetic performance by assembling non-segmented shifted grainoriented steel sheets which make it possible to reduce iron losses. Experimental results on induction machine efficiency increase are present...

This paper presents a predictive torque and flux control algorithm for the synchronous reluctance machine. The algorithm performs a voltage space phasor pre-selection, followed by the computation of the switching instants for the optimum switching space phasors, with the advantages of inherently constant switching frequency and time equidistant implementation on a DSP based system. The criteria...

The transverse flux machines (TFM), introduced at the beginning of the 80’s, are possible solutions for diverse applications requiring special electrical machines [1]. The researches have focused until now mainly on rotary TFMs. A new type of permanent magnet linear transverse flux reluctance machine is proposed here. Such machines can be successfully applied for example in conveyor application...

A new dual-mechanical-port (DMP) electric machine for hybrid vehicle applications, particularly in the power-split continuously variable transmission systems, is proposed this paper. In order to comprehensively and quantitatively evaluate pros cons of machine, a comparative study four DMP machines with different topologies conducted. These investigated include conventional spoke-type permanent ...
