To overcome this shortcoming, the operation of the basic PLL schemes is improved by supplementing them with blocks that pre or post-processes the line voltages. This paper presents a novel improved PLL scheme that, in spite of its simplicity, offers excellent performance. The scheme is composed by two stages, namely a block, termed as StHFPSC, that rejects the harmonics and the negative-sequence component of the line voltages by processing the voltages in the stationary reference frame, and the basic PLL scheme formulated according to the instantaneous p-q power theory (pPLL). The capability of the StHFPSC block in extracting the fundamental harmonic of the positive-sequence component of the line voltages combined with the capability of the pPLL in synthesizing the grid angle give rise to a PLL scheme, termed as stationary reference frame improved pPLL (StI-pPLL), which joins the merits of the two constituent stages. After reviewing the basic and the main improved PLL schemes, the paper describes the StI-pPLL scheme. Then the scheme is tested by simulation under distorted and unbalanced grid conditions to demonstrate its effectiveness. Comparison of the results to those obtained from the pPLL scheme improved in the traditional way points out the superior performance of the novel scheme.","PeriodicalId":379207,"journal":{"name":"8th IEEE Symposium on Diagnostics for Electrical Machines, Power Electronics & Drives","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130334220","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}

A lot of generation is still done by an induction machine directly coupled to the grid, for example in micro combined heat power or small wind turbines. For asynchronous generators directly coupled to the grid, the voltage distortion can have a significant influence on the efficiency of the machine. A lot of papers discuss the influence of voltage harmonics on Induction Machines. The influence of voltage harmonics on Induction Generators is less researched. Although some research has been performed through simulation, due to difficult laboratory setup not many practical efficiency measurements have been performed on Direct On Line Induction Generators for a medium power range. This paper discusses the practical test setup and measurement results for two different 55kW Induction Generators fed by a programmable power supply. Specifically the influence of the phase angle of the harmonic on the overall efficiency is tested.","PeriodicalId":379207,"journal":{"name":"8th IEEE Symposium on Diagnostics for Electrical Machines, Power Electronics & Drives","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127476227","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}

On the other hand, failure prognosis, especially in slowly evolving faults will lead to more accurate estimates, in-time remediation, and increased reliability.

Mathematical equations, based on this premise, have been developed in rotor reference frame, thus obtaining a very simple yet effective model of the machine. Additionally, a method for measurement of both time constants of a faulty rotor at standstill is explained. Simulation results, based on this model, have been experimentally verified for healthy and faulty machine, showing very good agreement at different operational points. Finally, a study of the impact of various relationships between the parameters in both rotor axes on the behavior of the simulation model, is performed.","PeriodicalId":379207,"journal":{"name":"8th IEEE Symposium on Diagnostics for Electrical Machines, Power Electronics & Drives","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133113419","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}
