This paper presents a study of a DFIG wind power generation system for real-time simulations. For real-time simulations, the Real-Time Digital Simulator (RTDS) and its user friendly interface simulation software RSCAD are used. A 2.2MW grid-connected variable speed DFIG wind power generation system is modeled and analyzed in this study. The stator-flux oriented vector control scheme is applied ...

This paper addresses the design and commutation of a novel kind of spherical stepper motor in which the poles of the stator are electromagnets and the poles of the rotor (rotating ball) are permanent magnets. Due to the fact that points on a sphere can only be arranged with equal spacing in a limited number of cases (corresponding to the Platonic solids), design of spherical stepper motors with...

This paper is an attempt to provide a user friendly software package for teaching of standalone SEIG. Three operating conditions of the generator are mathematically modelled and then simulated using MATLAB commands. Active GUI window with these models are created using Graphical User Interface Capability. The requirements of capacitor bank for SEIG for its self excitation are also incorporated ...

In this paper a sliding-mode torque and flux control is designed for encoderless synchronous reluctance motor drive. The sliding-mode plus PI controllers are designed in the stator-flux field oriented reference frame which is able to track the mentioned reference signals with a minimum pulsations in the state condition. In addition, with these controllers a fast dynamic response is also achieve...

A new indirect stator flux field-oriented output feedback control for Doubly Fed Induction Machine is presented. It assures global exponential torque tracking and stabilization of the stator-side power factor at unity level, provided that electric machine physical constraints are satisfied. Based on the inner torque control system, a speed tracking controller, with load torque compensation is d...

The concept of programmable cascaded low-pass filter for stator flux vector synthesis by ideal integration of stator voltages at any frequency was introduced by Bose and Patel. A new form of implementation of this filter is being proposed here that uses a combination of recurrent neural network trained by Kalman filter and a polynomial neural network. The proposed structure is simple, permits f...

This study deals with the direct torque control (DTC) of the induction motor. This type of control allows decoupling control between the flux and the torque without the need for a transformation of coordinates. However, the DTC scheme has a high ripples for both electromagnetic torque and stator flux and a distortion of the stator current. To solve these problems, we have developed a new approa...

A speed estimation method is presented in this paper for a grid-connected doubly-fed slipring induction machine drive. The proposed method is formulated with reactive power based model reference adaptive system (MRAS). The method does not require the estimation of stator/rotor flux. So, the integrator related problems at synchronous speed are overcome. Also, the estimation method is independent...

Direct Torque Control of inverter-fed Induction Machine allows high dynamic performance by means of very simple control schemes. In this paper various direct torque control methodologies as conventional DTC (C_DTC), modified DTC (M_DTC) and twelve sectors (12_DTC) have been analysed and compared in order to evaluate the influence of the motor operating condition on steady state performances.
