Bi-tooth flux-switching permanent magnet (FSPM) machine is an interesting brushless machine having magnets and excitation windings in the stator, which exhibits larger back EMF and requires only half the number and volume of PMs compared to conventional FSPM machine. However, air gap magnetic field is difficult to be regulated due to PM excitation alone. In this paper, by introducing an additio...

One advantage of multi-phase machines is the possibility to use the third harmonic of the rotor flux for additional torque generation. This effect can be maximized for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines (PMSM) with a high third harmonic content in the magnet flux. This paper discusses the effects of third harmonic current injection (THCI) on a five-phase PMSM with a conventional magnet shape...

Since the magnetizing characteristics are highly non-linear in nature, the torque ripple is high in the Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM). The torque ripple can be minimized by using a novel control technique called Direct Torque Control (DTC). In DTC technique, torque is controlled directly through control of magnitude of the flux-linkage and change in speed of the stator flux vector. The flux a...

A new Single-sided Variable Flux Permanent Magnet Linear Machine with flux bridge in mover core is proposed this paper. The prevents the leakage from and converts it into linkage, which greatly influences performance of machine. First, a lumped parameter model used to find suitable coil combination no-load linkage machine, reduces computational time drive storage. Secondly, machine replaces exp...

Future applications of mag­ netic thin films to computer circuitry will require the use of integrated deposited circuitry, which involves depositing mag­ netic films and associated electrical circuitry on the same substrate. It is verified that the extremely close coupling between a magnetic film and a surrounding deposited loop in this configuration results in 100% flux linkage with the loop. ...

Active power filter (APF) using novel virtual line-flux-linkage oriented control strategy can not only realizes no phase-locked-loop (PLL) control, but also achieves a good inhibitory effect to interfere. However, there are some problems in the conventional method, such as the error of amplitude, the shift of phase angle and the non-determinacy of initial oriented angle. In this paper, two one-...

Internal Turn-Turn faults (TTF) are the most common failures in power transformers, which could seriously reduce their life expectancy. Although common protection schemes such as current-baseddifferential protection are able to detect some of the internal faults, some other minor ones (such as TTFs andshort circuit near the neutral point) cannot be detected by such schemes. Likewise, these rela...

This paper presents an easy to understand dynamic simulation model of Induction Machine Model on Simulink/MATLAB software platform. A somewhat different induction machine model equations in which flux linkage equations are expressed in terms of reactances rather than inductances is used. Also, the model equations for the three phase carrier-based pulsewidth voltage source inverter for driving t...

This paper develops a model reference adaptive system (MRAS) based observer for sensorless vector control of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives. There are used two models in MRAS observer to estimate the linkage flux with relatively clean waveforms. The voltage model in stator reference is the reference model, and the current model in estimated rotor reference is the adaptive mode...
