This paper investigates an induction machine with a novel concept of the rotor fed by a converter. The stator is Y-connected and directly connected to the grid, while the rotor windings are open-ended and fed by a back-to-back converter with a floating capacitor. Power factor and efficiency improvements of the induction motor are studied with different settings of phase-shift angle between the two...
The paper describes the design of a single-sided linear induction motor (SLIM) intended for an Articulated Funiculator (AF). A procedure is proposed where first an analytical design is carried out to obtain a preliminary geometry. The analytical design is based on approximate equivalent circuits under constrained conditions. In the second step a two-dimensional finite element method (2D-FEM) analysis...
This paper explores a topology of induction machine drive with a novel concept of a wound rotor fed by a converter with a floating DC-link capacitor. The Y-connected stator windings are connected to the grid, while Y-connected rotor windings are connected to a three phase converter with a floating DC-link capacitor. By integrating the converter into the wound rotor, the slip-rings and the brushes...
This paper presents the synchronous operation of a novel generator termed as the rotating power electronic brushless doubly-fed induction generator (RPE-BDFIG). It is shown that the generator operates well at the synchronous speed of the main machine, delivering the desired power to the grid. Furthermore, it is illustrated that the RPE-BDFIG behaves similar to a synchronous generator in the synchronous...
A novel topology of induction machine with a rotor integrated converter with a floating capacitor is investigated in this paper. The stator windings of the induction machine are directly connected to the grid. While the rotor windings are connected to a converter with a floating capacitor. The steady state mathematical model is presented and used to predict the operating range of the induction machine...
This paper describes the construction of the rotating power electronic converter. By mounting the power electronics on the rotor of an induction machine, the rotor winding can be made easily accessible without the use of slip-rings and brushes. This offers certain advantages regarding motor control. However, it is evident that the rotating mass, communication with the converter and maintaining the...
A new configuration for the self-excitation of the induction machine invented by Magnus Lindmark is presented. The power electronic converter using solid state switches is connected to the rotor while the stator is directly connected to the grid. Using appropriate control, the reactive power consumed by the motor can be generated in the rotor resulting in unity power factor operation. The rotor connected...
