This can be applied both in electric vehicles, hybrid and avionics. Therefore the development of tools, which are able to ensure continuity of service by identifying and predicting faults, is crucial to provide a reliable monitoring. This paper presents two methods based on Hidden Markov Models for the prediction of impending faults. They are based on pattern recognition, that is a data-driven approach widely used in the field of faults detection and diagnostic. This paper aims to show that methods such as Hidden Markov Models, commonly used in the diagnosis, can also be used in the field of prognosis. The first method, based on the recognition of degradation processes, allows predicting the imminent appearance of the fault and the second is based on modeling the state of degradation of the studied system. An example of application is given to demonstrate their applicability. The results show their effectiveness to predict the imminent appearance of a fault.","PeriodicalId":173358,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Workshop on Electrical Machines Design, Control and Diagnosis (WEMDCD)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129383336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fault detection is accomplished by interpreting well-defined measurements into the machine mathematical model. First, the studied machine is modeled by means of a dynamic state-space model in the abc reference frame. This model simulates the machine behavior under healthy and faulty cases in both transient and steady-state conditions. The signature of the inter-turn fault is captured using the magnetic pendulous oscillation technique. The proposed inverse problem is validated numerically and experimentally.

The growing effort and investment in this field of research is largely due to the ever-expanding market share of these machines. The high-performance and efficient control of the drive depends on the accuracy with which the information about the machine connected to its terminals is available. The available identification methods are surveyed here and they are classified into offline and online strategies. Self-commissioning, in principle, is a subset of offline methods, yet it is treated separately for its importance in modern adjustable speed drives that tend to minimize the user intervention. Fully exploiting the power electronic converter and the computational power on-board a modern drive, the self-commissioning feature can be embedded in the start-up routine of the drive to estimate the parameters of the machine at hand. This paper presents a review of the parameter identification techniques and schemes investigated over the past few decades.","PeriodicalId":173358,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Workshop on Electrical Machines Design, Control and Diagnosis (WEMDCD)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130722507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accurate and computationally efficient loss prediction is an essential element in thermal analysis of electrical machines, and has become an increasingly important part of the machine design-development process. The continuous drive towards `more electric' technologies has resulted in a need for a more comprehensive and detailed design approach, where various multi-physics and multidisciplinary effects are accounted for. This `design for application' methodology relies strongly on the advancements and evolution of the existing theoretical and experimental design techniques to satisfy the evermore-demanding machine design requirements. The thermal behaviour and efficiency of the power conversion are the machine performance measures, which are the essential elements of the `design for application' approach. An overview of the challenges and limitations regarding the power loss analysis in the context of thermal design of electrical machines is provided in the paper. All of the major loss components associated with the active parts of the machine assembly are discussed.","PeriodicalId":173358,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Workshop on Electrical Machines Design, Control and Diagnosis (WEMDCD)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116646376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, the principles of different regression methods are described (design of experiments, response surface, multilinear and robust regression) and applied with a limited number of experiments, thus reducing experimental cost.

The first one is the use of numerical simulations of faulty machines to generate the virtual data and relate global quantities to local ones. The second is the monitoring integration in the industrial internet, which means the hardware and software packaged within the monitored machine as well as the required information and communication technology.

The fault-tolerant design solutions recommended for small-power machines are critically reviewed and their scalability to higher machine sizes is discussed also referring to practical industrial realizations. The most promising potential for fault-tolerance design is recognized in large low-speed high-pole-count permanent-magnet synchronous machines (e.g. for ship propulsion and wind power generation) thanks to their suitability for highly-modular multi-unit fractional-slot concentrated-winding architectures.","PeriodicalId":173358,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Workshop on Electrical Machines Design, Control and Diagnosis (WEMDCD)","volume":"590 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129645755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since inverters produce additional losses in the drive, some concerns about the determination of the overall energy efficiency of the system obviously arise. Therefore, a proper method to assess the efficiency of VSI-fed IMs in a systematic and standardised way is becoming mandatory. To fulfil this task, the IEC 60034-2-3 Technical Specification has been recently issued. However, many details are still under definition, due to the manifold aspects of a standardised measurement procedure, such as the inverter topology, the DC bus input voltage level, the output voltage amplitude and frequency and the modulation technique. Therefore, in its current form, the specification cannot be considered a straightforward and ultimate answer to the efficiency measurement. In this paper, some problems regarding the application of the new IEC 60034-2-3:2013 are addressed and some possible solutions are proposed. As a tangible contribution, a proposal for the structure of an automated energy efficiency measurement procedure is provided as well.","PeriodicalId":173358,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Workshop on Electrical Machines Design, Control and Diagnosis (WEMDCD)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129414055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
