(2006) Laser-optical investigation of stator-rotor interaction in a transonic turbine, 1 ABSTRACT This paper presents research in a highly-loaded cold-flow transonic turbine under continuous and engine like conditions. Special focus was placed on blade row interaction at app. 10600 rpm. While the first step was the investigation of a single stage machine (stator-rotor), the second step extended...

A new close loop current model flux observer is designed to estimate the rotor flux, position and velocity of an induction machine. The current observer includes carefully designed sliding mode functions which are derivative of the fluxes along the and axes. Therefore, when the estimated current converges to the measured one, the flux estimation is a mere integration of the sliding mode functio...

A procedure has been established for obtaining equivalent circuit parameters for the Brushless Doubly Fed Machine (BDFM), also known as the Brushless Doubly Fed Induction Machine (DFIM), by transforming a reduced coupled-circuit model into a sequence component form. This approach takes advantage of the model reduction procedure’s ability to reduce a complex rotor structure to a single equivalen...

An optimisation procedure for twin screw compressor design is described, which is based on an analytical algorithm for rotor profile generation combined with a differential model of the fluid flow and thermodynamic processes within the machine. Rotor profiles are generated from a rack which have both stronger female rotor lobes and higher displacement. Compressors thus designed have higher deli...

This paper compares four prototype Synchronous Reluctance Motors (SynRMs) having an identical geometry of iron lamination stacks in the stator and rotor. Two different stator winding layouts are employed: a conventional three-phase star connection and a combined star–delta winding. In addition, two rotors are considered: a conventional rotor without magnets and a rotor with ferrite magnets. The...

Analysis of the behaviour of the Brushless Doubly Fed Machine (BDFM) has received considerable attention in the literature. The BDFM is typified by its complex airgap flux distribution. This paper will build upon performance-prediction work, concentrating on the design and electromagnetic behaviour of the BDFM rotor, considering 2 different sizes of 4/8-pole stator machines and comparing test r...

Abstruct In this paper field-oriented control of a doubly-fed wound rotor induction machine without shaft position sensors is presented. The stator is directly connected to the constant frequency three phase grid and the rotor currents are appropriately controlled to vary the slip power thereby enabling variable speed constant frequency operation. Instead of using dynamic angle controllers for ...
