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...

Because of the low maintenance and robustness induction motors have many applications in the industries. The speed control of induction motor is more important to achieve maximum torque and efficiency. Various speed control techniques like, Direct Torque Control, Sensorless Vector Control and Field Oriented Control are discussed in this paper. Soft computing technique – Fuzzy logic is applied i...

The matrix converter system is competitive solution to replace the conventional two stage ac to ac converter. In this paper, a matrix converter driving a speed-controlled induction machine is examined under open-switch fault. First, a-predictive direct torque method is proposed using only the motor torque and current. Second, a motor speed control is presented. The proposed techniques do not re...

. This paper proposes the three level diode clamped multilevel inverter fed direct torque control of induction motor. The proposed multilevel inverter has the advantages of fewer harmonic in the output and low torque ripples. The switching table direct torque control scheme is adopted due to the simplicity of the control algorithm. The PI speed controller is used in the outer loop. To demonstra...

The implementation of conventional DTC in Induction Motor drives consisting of PI torque controller suffers from complex tuning and Overshoot problems. One of the various methods to tackle this problem is implementation of intelligent controllers like neuro fuzzy-based controller This paper presents the simulation and analysis of a Neuro fuzzy-based torque controller for DTC of Induction motor ...

Fuzzy logic is recently getting increasing emphasis in soft computing applications in the recent days. This paper presents an application of the fuzzy logic scheme to control the speed of an AC servo system & the same is proposed for a space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) inverter-fed permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive. Based on the analysis of the PMSM transient response, 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...

This paper presents a novel method for estimating the load torque of a sensorless indirect stator flux oriented controlled (ISFOC) induction motor drive based on the model reference adaptive system (MRAS) scheme. As a matter of fact, this method is meant to inter-connect a speed estimator with the load torque observer. For this purpose, a MRAS has been applied to estimate the rotor speed with t...

The relationship between lower-limb weakness and walking speed after stroke is not clear. This may be related to the measurement used to quantify weakness, typically peak strength. This study examined the relationship between two measures of isometric knee extension strength, i.e., peak torque and the rate of torque development and walking speed in adults with stroke. This study had 83 stroke s...
