This paper presents the development of distance sensors to measure air-gap irregularities in synchronous generators for diagnosing static eccentricities. Capacitive and inductive sensors were developed to measure the thickness of the air-gap between the stator and the rotor poles. In order to obtain an absolute measurement of distance, an optical fiber chromatic confocal sensor system is used as a...
This paper investigates two diagnosis methods based on switching voltage pattern for IGBTs open-circuit faults in voltage-source inverters. One is based on bridge arm pole voltage, and the other is based on bridge arm line voltage. With extra simple circuit, these two diagnosis methods can detect and identify single and multiple open-circuit faults of the inverter IGBTs effectively. The comparison...
In high power electric motors it is common to use open slots to facilitate the assembly of the coils. Open slots introduce harmonics in the magnetomotive force distribution over the air gap, resulting in additional losses and parasitic torques. In order to reduce these effects, wedges of magnetic material are used. These wedges are prone to apartial or total detachment, which in turn may result in...
Electrical generators of offshore wind or tidal current turbines are exposed to harsh marine and operating conditions. Predictive maintenance is therefore a key issue for the competitiveness of these energy generation systems. Generally speaking, the predictive maintenance is based on the monitoring of a Diagnostic Indicator (DI): the interpretation of its value or drift is used for the optimal planning...
This paper proposes a method for voltage dip fault voltage detection and diagnosis in a grid connected Wind Turbine Generator. The method is data-driven. From the measurements of the currents flowing into the grid, three features related to the trajectory of the current vector in the Concordia stationary reference frame are extracted. The evaluation of the features for fault diagnosis is done through...
