Two different directions can be followed in applying the method, one is the more widely known \"method of tubes and slices\", the other is the algebraic approach and is explored further in this paper. The literature on the algebraic dual-energy method involves trivial examples with boundaries, boundary conditions and source distributions that are easily handled. However, the geometry of the variable reluctance motor at the unaligned position, the dominating curvatures characterizing its electromagnetic field distribution and the presence of a large number of boundary conditions arising at the steel boundaries, provide a challenging exercise in the application, behavior and effectiveness of the dual-energy method in a realistic framework.","PeriodicalId":117576,"journal":{"name":"IAS '95.

Different switching sequence strategies for vector control are described and a digital scaler method is also presented. The influence of different switching patterns on the output voltage symmetry, current waveform and switching frequency are examined. The results obtained by employing the vector and scalar strategies are compared and a relationship between them is established. This comparison is based on analytical study and is corroborated by the computer simulations and by the experimental results. The vector approach makes it easy to understand and analyse the FSTPI, as well the choice of a PWM pattern. However, similar results may be obtained through the scalar approach, which has a simpler implementation. The experimental results of the use of the FSTPI and digital PWM to control an induction motor are presented.","PeriodicalId":117576,"journal":{"name":"IAS '95.

However, a general hierarchial consensus appears to have emerged from this work which ranks space vector modulation techniques, regular sampled modulation and sine-triangle modulation strategies in decreasing order of merit based on harmonic performance. However, what has not been clearly identified is why space vector modulation should lead to a reduced harmonic current ripple compared to regular sampled modulation, especially since it is straightforward to show that they produce identical low frequency fundamental components. This paper addresses this issue, by showing how it is the placement of the zero space vector component within the carrier interval that determines the harmonic performance of the modulation strategy, rather than any intrinsic differences between the various methods of calculating the switching instances.","PeriodicalId":117576,"journal":{"name":"IAS '95.

A soft switched three-phase to single-phase direct frequency changer is introduced adopting the bidirectional ZVS cell proposed by the authors (see IEEE APEC, 1995). Hence, the proposed converter does not need dead time between gate signals, presents natural protection against overcurrent, uses a simple gate signal drive circuitry and the commutation losses are reduced with no increase of the conduction losses. All types of AC modulation can be used and the bidirectional switches can operate in high frequency of commutation. A prototype operating at a high commutation frequency using IGBT is assembled and the results obtained are discussed. Analysis and design are also presented.","PeriodicalId":117576,"journal":{"name":"IAS '95.

Many facilities are installing ASDs to improve the efficiency of their processes and to increase the control of their processes. While the effects of ASDs on the power system are well known, many engineers and systems integrators are not aware of the effects that ASDs can have on the motor that is driven by the drive. This paper describes the techniques used to measure, analyze, and simulate the problems associated with the use of PWM ASDs to drive induction motors. Measures to mitigate these problems are also discussed. The Electro-Magnetic Transients Program (EMTP) is used to simulate the phenomena, compare results against measurements, and evaluate mitigation techniques.","PeriodicalId":117576,"journal":{"name":"IAS '95.

When the low resolution incremental-type encoder is used for the speed detection we get only the average speed between the interval of the encoder pulses and it usually makes the speed controller unstable at the very low speed range. This paper, therefore, proposes a low speed control method using the low precision shaft encoder with speed observer implementing the disturbance torque observer. Furthermore, to improve the performance of the speed controller, we perform the inertia identification algorithm using the estimated inertia acquired by the periodic test signal. We show that this proposed method is superior to the conventional method by simulation and experimental results.","PeriodicalId":117576,"journal":{"name":"IAS '95.

Many of the innovations were necessitated by significant increases in power requirements of face equipment, particularly longwall equipment, while others are the result of improved technology.

The intelligent controller developed supervises the integrated process of an electric driver mounted on a robotic positioning system to fasten screws. The new scheme controls continuously the motion and driving stages to avoid process caused failures, to achieve a desired precise torque and to detect bad parts at early stages of the assembly.
