Three-phase ac-ac PWM converters with voltage or current dc-link are employed for electric drives requiring bidirectional power flow and a high input power factor. For more than thirty years matrix converters have been considered to offer significant advantages over the conventional two-stage concepts with dc-link energy storage in terms of power conversion efficiency and volume of passive components...
A type-2 fuzzy neural system (T2FNS) is proposed in this paper for process control. The structure of the system is presented and the rules for updating its parameters are derived using the gradient algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is evaluated on a laboratory setup that regulates the speed of a DC motor and the experimental results are compared with those obtained with the use...
The design and analysis of a flatness based speed control method for drive systems with elastically coupled loads is presented. Drive systems with elastically coupled loads tend to mechanical vibrations due to a finite stiffness of the drive shafts material. These unwanted vibrations stress the system and can reduce its lifetime. The way out and aim of this analysis is a high performance speed control...
For a four-rotor mini helicopter, an adaptive controller is presented based on Immersion and Invariance (I&I) approach. Although there are many aerodynamic coefficients such as thrust coefficients and drag coefficients with uncertainty in the model, a new parameterization with a fewer uncertain coefficients is developed to simplify the complex multivariable parameter adaptation. It is shown that...
An alternative way to control a nonlinear system, such as a two Degree Of Freedom helicopter, is the linearization of the model around an equilibrium point, in this case, an equilibrium point around the Pitch angle. Subsequently, the design a Robust Controller for this system is done, using a the DK iteration method. However, when a variation of an angle such as its uncertainty is modeled, the performance...
Renewable energy technologies have recently attracted great attentions. Several renewable energies such as wind, solar, etc. are now being investigated to solve the current energy crisis. In this paper, a novel control strategy for variable speed wind turbine to extract the maximum power from wind is proposed without knowing any of the system parameters and the aerodynamics. Lyapunov stability analysis...
In order to compensate the worldwide energy consumption that is still rising, the wind energy is becoming more and more important. For this reason, the analysis of wind energy conversion systems, in which the occurrence of faults has a high negative impact, becomes a very important issue. Considering this, the aim of this paper is to present some diagnostic methods for open-circuit faults in the two...
The Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT) technology with low-speed direct-drive Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) is studied in this paper. Based on the system structure and its controller options, a class of LVRT control strategies are proposed in terms of energy flow, which can make sufficient use of power characteristics of wind turbine and the large moment inertia of the system to achieve...
Presently work exists within the IEEE to develop a test standard for Permanent Magnet AC (PMAC) machines that includes a specification on the quality of current supplied to the machine. The research presented in this paper offers a comparison on the quality of current provided to the machine for three control strategies; Space Vector, PI and Bang-Bang. The tests conducted were of an “on the fly” nature...
In this paper, an evaluation of the MCSA method when applied to detect faults in motor driven loads is presented. The evaluation is based on transfer functions obtained from small signal model of the induction motor. The inherent behavior of the induction motor as a torque transducer is explored to explain some of the characteristic features of its application to monitoring the driven load connected...
In high-power current-source inverter (CSI) fed drives, reduction of losses in semiconductor devices and dc-link inductor through the dc-link current minimization is one of the primary goals. In this paper, a control strategy for the high power CSI-fed interior permanent magnet (IPM) drive is proposed for this purpose. This control strategy keeps the dc-link current at minimum level without exceeding...
Aim of the paper is to evaluate a particular aspect of the design of axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machines, i.e. the use of SMC wedges to close stator slots. This contribution is the continuation of a previous investigation dedicated to the analysis of the no-load performance variation introduced by the magnetic wedges. Here, attention is focused on the load performance, by studying the effect...
For the comfort and security of users, noise of electric motors is a critical issue. The harmonic content of the magnetic pressure inside the air gap being the source of the sound radiated by the stator, it suits to know the impact of field weakening. We will show that for some load angles the pressure harmonics change so that the field weakening could be heard.
This paper considers the inductance spatial distribution of Interior Permanent Magnetic Synchronous Motors (IPMSM) in various load conditions. The IPMSM machine possess a unique relationship between phase inductance and rotor position, that make it possible to implement sensorless control by extracting rotor position information from the inductance distribution. During the past two decades, many sensorless...
Spiral motor, a novel high-thrust linear actuator with high backdrivability, consists of a helical structure stator and mover. Under proper gap control against the load fluctuation, the mover moves helically in the stator and the linear motion is extracted to drive the load. Thus, the motor realizes direct-drive motion without mechanical gears. In this paper, an exact feedback linearization engaged...
This paper presents a new approach to optimal load coordination in hybrid bi-axis drive systems. The idea is to utilize the regenerated energy from decelerating motors to supply other loads on a common DC bus. In this study, we applied a genetic algorithm to find the optimal time delay between the operations of two permanent magnet motor-drives in order to minimize the amount of energy purchased from...

Chen in 1999 for linear parameter estimation is extended to the non-linear...
This paper presents a design methodology for optimal position control in electrical drives with mechanical elasticity subject to safety and physical constraints on torque and speed variables.

Utilisation of wind energy to generate electricity has attracted considerable attention worldwide, and is rapidly-growing. The integration of large wind farms with high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission network could be one of the preferred options for supplying bulk power over a long distance. Since HVDC rectifier stations with constant current control may introduce negative damping on the...
