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...

Experiments are described in which a plasma compression opening switch is used in planar geometry to sharpen the output pulse of an explosive-driven magnetic flux compression generator. Included are data from tests where peak opening switch currents range from 5.7 to 9.3 MA. The switch is used to transfer current to a static low-inductance load (-10 nH) with an efficiency of 50% or better and a...

recently, transverse flux permanent magnet generators (tfpmgs) have been proposed as a possible generator in direct drive variable speed wind turbines due to their unique merits. generally, the quality of output power in these systems is lower than multi stage fixed speed systems, because of removing the gears, so it’s important to design these kinds of generators with low ripple and lowest har...

A reliable and accurate diagnosis of inter-turn short circuit faults is a challenging problem in the area of fault diagnosis of electrical machines. The purpose of this challenge is to be more efficient in fault detection and to provide a reliable method with low-cost sensors and simple numerical algorithms which not only detect the occurrence of the fault, but also locate its position in the w...

this paper presents a novel salient pole synchronous generator i.e. permanentmagnet-assisted salient-pole synchronous generator (pma-sgs). due to saturationof conventional synchronous generators (sgs), permanent-magnet-assisted salientpolesynchronous generators (pma-sgs) are presented. pma-sgs are a new type ofsalient-pole synchronous machines with extra permanent magnets (pms) betweenthe adjac...

This paper presents the application of radial basis neural networks to the development of a novel method for the condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of synchronous generators. In the proposed scheme, flux linkage analysis is used to reach a decision. Probabilistic neural network (PNN) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) are used in design of fault diagnosis system. PNN as main part of thi...

High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) circuit breakers have to suppress high values of currents at high voltages in absence of current-zero points. This makes the arc interruption more severe than the case of conventional AC networks. For circuit breaking in HVDC networks, a capacitor-inductor set has been inserted in parallel with the circuit breaker to inject reverse current to the interruption ...
