Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Generators (PMSGs) exhibit high efficiency and power density, and have already been employed in gearless wind turbines. In the gearless wind turbines, due to the removal of the gearbox, the cogging torque is an important issue. Therefore, in this paper, at first, design of a Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Generator for a 2MW gearless horizontal-axis wind turbine, acco...

The flight pattern of many fly species consists of straight flight segments interspersed with rapid turns called body saccades, a strategy that is thought to minimize motion blur. We analyzed the body saccades of fruit flies (Drosophila hydei), using high-speed 3D videography to track body and wing kinematics and a dynamically scaled robot to study the production of aerodynamic forces and momen...

In Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Generators (PMSGs) the reduction of cogging torque is one of the most important problems in their performance and evaluation. In this paper, at first, a direct-drive vertical-axis wind turbine is chosen. According to its nominal value operational point, necessary parameters for the generator is extracted. Due to an analytical method, four generators with differen...

In this paper, a new field oriented control scheme with maximum torque for permanent magnet hysteresis synchronous (PMHS) motor has been presented. Vector control method provides significant improvement to the dynamic performance of ac motors but in this method d- axis current is controlled such as the ratio of motor torque to motor current is a maximum, then the dynamic performance will be ver...

Cold rolling process is a complicated process which can be optimized by changing in variables and settings. This paper presents a set-up optimization system developed to calculate reductions and inter-stand tensions for each stand of a five stand tandem cold mill. The main objective in this optimization is minimization of power consumption. First, by using the analytical method, the equations ...

It is necessary to detect complex force and torque components of three-dimensional space in research and manufacture, therefore the multi-axis force and torque sensors are developed rapidly. For examples, the six-axis wrist force/torque sensor for robot assembling and automated polishing [1,2], the multi-component strain gauge balance for wind tunnel testing to determine loads on models [3], th...

OBJECTIVES Tilt perception is part of the perception of spatial orientation. It is determined not only by the allocentric gravity axis, but also by a second allocentric axis induced by visual information as well as by the egocentric body (head) axis induced by somatosensory information. The aim of this study was to quantify roll-tilt perception using the subjective visual vertical (SVV) and the...

A standard test field containing numerous strong sources has been observed twice with the ASKAP BETA system, with the third axis of motion – the roll axis – disabled for the second run. These two data sets are subjected to identical calibration and imaging pipelines in order to gauge the e↵ects of the roll axis when observing with a Phased Array Feed. Present beam forming techniques only allow ...

This paper considers a new switched reluctance motor (SRM) structure aiming at high starting torque with low volume. For some applications such as EVs (Electrical Vehicles), the motor volume and starting torque is a critical point in its design. In many methods, reducing the motor volume causes reduction in starting torque and decreases the motor efficiency. Unlike conventional SRMs, the rotor ...
