Therefore, on-line diagnosis of incipient stator winding short-circuit faults plays an important role contributing to the safe operation of PMSMs. However, the efficacy of known diagnostic methods varies with the types of stator winding configurations in PMSMs. This paper compares the effectiveness of diagnosis of stator winding short-circuit faults in series and parallel winding connections of PMSMs, with the same interior permanent-magnet rotor configuration. Two existing diagnostic methods have been applied to detect the severity of stator short-circuit faults happening in both series and parallel winding connection in PMSMs. Simulation analysis has been carried out in ANSYS Maxwell to compare the severity of magnetic saturation caused by equivalent short-circuit fault in series and parallel winding connected PMSMs. Experimental results lead to the conclusion that PMSMs with parallel winding connections can mask the influence of such stator short-circuit faults under certain circumstances, and thus it is more challenging to detect such incipient faults in parallel-winding-connected PMSM in comparison with series-winding-connected PMSMs.","PeriodicalId":6477,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Electric Machines & Drives Conference (IEMDC)","volume":"2 1","pages":"1387-1393"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87133338","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 discrete wavelet transform (DWT) has been applied to monitor energy of the bearing fault signals. Then, the fuzzy c-mean (FCM) has been developed to utilize the data from single sensor and multisensor to identify the severity of bearing fault.

This tends to increase the package size of general engine generators. In this paper, we are able to achieve miniaturization and high output power of the generator by adopting an axial-gap structure through using ferrite permanent magnets. At the same time, the package size is reduced dramatically by integrating the axial-gap generator into the engine. This paper also discusses methods for reducing the eddy current losses that occur in the windings due to the open-slot structure of the stator core and occur in the rotor support component. By using results from three-dimensional finite element analysis, we show that the eddy current loss that occurs in the windings is reduced by using appropriate methods to wind the coils with rectangular wires. In addition, the eddy current loss that occurs in the rotor support component is decreased by appropriately selecting the material and changing the shape of the component. Experimental results show that the studied structure is effective for realizing miniaturization and high output power of the generator, as well as for decreasing the package size of the engine generator.","PeriodicalId":6477,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Electric Machines & Drives Conference (IEMDC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"300-307"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91004181","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}

Pole-changing is accomplished using the d-axis current of the proposed motor for magnetization. Our analysis results confirm that the pole-changing PM motor reduces iron loss by 36% over a conventional PM motor and increases efficiency over a wide range of speeds.

The aim of this paper is to deliver a realistic analysis of the competitiveness of MHDG as well as the possibilities offered by design variables to improve its attributes. Finite element analysis offers an improved understanding of field and flow distribution as well as the power density generated within the fluid channel.

Conventional wind generator systems would be rather large and costly if scaled up to 10 MW. Direct drive superconducting generators have been proposed to reduce the generator size, because the electrical machines with superconducting windings are capable of achieving a higher torque density. However, a superconducting machine is likely to produce an excessive torque during a short circuit because of its small reactance. An electromagnetic (EM) shield between the rotor and the stator as well as iron or non-magnetic composite (NMC) armature teeth affects the sub-transient reactance of a superconducting machine so that they play a role in the short-circuit performance of a superconducting wind generator. This paper presents a 10 MW superconducting generator design and studies the effects of material, thickness and position of an EM shield and the effects of NMC and iron armature teeth on the torque and the field current density during a three-phase short circuit at the generator terminal. One result shows that the short circuit torque is not able to be effectively reduced by varying the EM shield and the armature tooth material. The other result shows that the field current density is likely to exceed its critical value during a short circuit although the EM shield material and the armature tooth material take some effect.","PeriodicalId":6477,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Electric Machines & Drives Conference (IEMDC)","volume":"74 1","pages":"709-714"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90593828","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 8 voltage vectors of the 2-level converter are utilized as a finite control set for the torque prediction of the PMSM. A cost function considering the torque error, the Maximum Torque per Ampere (MTPA) operation and the current limitation is introduced. Comparing to the conventional finite control set predictive control, the dominant part of the cost function is utilized as a Lyapunov function to estimate the duty cycle of each voltage vector. An optimum voltage can be obtained by the optimum voltage vector from the 8 vectors and their duty cycles. A small sampling frequency and a fixed switching frequency can be realized when compared to the conventional finite set model predictive control.
