The increasing size of wind farms requires power system stability analysis including dynamic models of wind Power generation. Nowadays, the most widely used generator type for units above 1MW is the doubly-fed induction machine. The behavior of these machines during grid failure is an important issue. In this paper, a theoretical analysis of the dynamic behavior of the doubly fed induction gene...

In order to achieve accurate diagnosis for rotating machinery automatically and considering that test data under actual fault conditions are rather difficult to obtain, a novel fault diagnosis strategy based on rotor dynamics and computational intelligence was proposed in this paper. Considering the nonlinear restoring force of ball bearing, the dynamic equation of a rotor–bearing system contai...

The detection of faults in a dynamic system can help to avoid severe damage where system reliability and safety are essential. An induction motor can fail either due to internal faults such as short circuit of motor leads; broken rotor bar and cracked rotor end rings or by external faults such as phase failure, asymmetry of main supply and mechanical overload (Karami et al 2010). Detection and ...

Instantaneous angular speed (IAS)-based condition monitoring is an area in which significant progress has been achieved over the recent years. This condition monitoring technique is less known compared to the existing conventional methods. This paper presents model-predicted simulation and experimental results of broken rotor bar faults in a threephase induction motor using IAS variations. The ...

The paper presents a mathematical base modeling combined to Modified-Winding -Function-Approach (MWFA) for eccentricity fault detection of a round-rotor synchronous machine. For this aim, a 6-pole machine is considered, and the machine inductances are computed by MWFA in healthy and also under eccentricity fault. A numerical discrete-time method has been proposed to machine modeling in voltage-...

In this paper, a new technique to detect broken rotor bars in polyphase induction machines is presented. Like most techniques, we employ the Fourier Transform of one stator current to make detection. But where the other methods use the Fourier Transform modulus, we propose an alternative approach by analyzing its phase. As shown by results, the Fourier Transform phase allows to detect one broke...

Speed sensorless vector control of 3-phase induction motor under open-phase fault (faulty 3phase induction motor) based on Indirect Rotor Field-Oriented Control (IRFOC) is proposed in this paper. To ensure high performance FOC of induction motor drives, the estimation of the rotor speed is necessary. However, the algorithm used to estimate the rotor speed for a 3-phase induction motor cannot be...

The methods of multi-DOF actuator orientation detection based on machine vision and magnetic field sensor and neural network based multisensor fusion are presented in this paper. Special grid pattern is printed on the surface of rotor according to the pseudo-random encoder for the camera capturing the image of the rotor. The magnetic field sensors are adopted and properly placed circling the sh...

Original scientific paper This paper discusses the risks of ignition sources of electric motors in areas at risk of explosive atmospheres. The basis for this work is research on the occurrence of the source of ignition resulting from an induction motor rotor cage fault. The research was targeted at the heating effects on the rotor cage of the "Ex e" type of protection motor, as a result of diff...

Based on the coupling model of nonlinear oil-film force and nonlinear seal fluid force, a nonlinear dynamic model of rotor system with rub-impact fault is set up. The dynamic characteristics of the system were studied with numerical simulation and the effects of airflow excited force, rubbing gap and stiffness parameters on movement characteristics of the rotor were analyzed. The results indica...
