An adaptive online flux-linkage estimation method for the sensorless control of switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive is presented in this paper. Sensorless operation is achieved through a binary observer based algorithm. In order to avoid using the look up tables of motor characteristics, which makes the system, depends on motor parameters, an adaptive identification algorithm is used to estim...

A reliable and accurate diagnosis of inter-turn short circuit faults is a challenging problem in the area of fault diagnosis of electrical machines. The purpose of this challenge is to be more efficient in fault detection and to provide a reliable method with low-cost sensors and simple numerical algorithms which not only detect the occurrence of the fault, but also locate its position in the w...

In conventional direct torque control (DTC) of induction machines, undesirable flux and torque ripples are produced. These occur since non of the selected inverter's voltage vectors are able to generate the exact voltage required to produce the desired changes in the electromagnetic torque and stator flux linkage in most of the switching instances. In addition, when direct torque control is imp...

This paper presents a torque error compensation algorithm for a surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous machine (SPMSM) through real time permanent magnet (PM) flux linkage estimation at various temperature conditions from medium to rated speed. As known, the PM flux linkage in SPMSMs varies with the thermal conditions. Since a maximum torque per ampere look up table, a control method used...

In a multi-layer interior permanent magnet synchronous motor, the dand q-axis parameters vary nonlinearly according to different load conditions, consequently changing the level of saturation. The flux-linkage of dand q-axis conveys ripple characteristics resulting from mechanical structure and degree of magnetic saturation. If the calculated flux-linkage is correct, the torque using the Maxwel...

Brushless dc motors are widely used in many industrial applications due to their high efficiency, high power density and ease of control. In this paper, sensorless direct torque control (DTC) of bldc motor is implemented using fuzzy logic. In actual DTC both torque and stator flux linkage is controlled. In the proposed system, the control of stator flux linkage is avoided because every commutat...

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...

In order to obtain more accurate predicted dynamic steady-state performance with shorter computation time, an available mathematical model is modified and presented. Using this modified model, performance of a typical switched reluctance motor (SRM) under a wide range of variations of operating conditions is obtained and discussed. These include variations of speed, voltage, load and switching ...
