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...

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...

The paper is devoted to solution of some problems in nuclear power station generating unit intellectual control systems using genetic algorithms on the basis of control system model development, optimizations methods of their direct quality indices and improved integral quadratic estimates. Some mathematical vector models were obtained for control system multicriterion quality indices with due ...

in the restructured environment of electricity market, firstly the generating companies and the customers are looking for maximizing their profit and secondly independent system operator is looking for the stability of the power network and maximizing social welfare. in this paper, a one way auction in the electricity market for the generator companies is considered in both perfect and imperfec...

The current electricity demand is increasing, and now the government has involved third parties in the implementation of electricity so that investors compete in building infrastructure in order to apply electricity. Thermal power is one source that has a fast break event point compared to other resources that more interested investors even with all forms of pollution caused. A form of heat pow...

In recent years, there has been a fast growth in wind energy conversion system (WECS). There are two general types of wind turbines in WECS: fixed speed wind turbines and varying speed wind turbines.Permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) is one of the most attractive generators for the varying speed turbine WECS.In this paper, a fuzzy controller is proposed to control the current source ...
