Model Predictive Control is a promising technique for electric drive control, as it enables optimization multiple parameters and offers reliable operation with non-linear systems. For induction machine drives can be realized using separate cost functions the torque stator flux. Although this eliminates problem of calculating any weighting factor, selection final voltage vector requires an addit...

Induction machines are the working horses in a lot of industries. Inter-turn short-circuit (ITSC) fault is one most common failure modes taking place them. It can generate large currents that lead to local temperature rise faulty stator slot, which deteriorates performance machine or even cascades complete breakdown. This article focuses on developing transient thermal models for an induction u...
