Developments trends in commercial drives point that that the next generation of them includes some sort of sensorless torque control. Using the 'spare' processing power of a digital signal processor (DSP) to implement these techniques can significantly red ...
Electric motors consume over half of the electrical energy produced by power stations, almost the three-quarters of the electrical consumption in industry and almost the half of commercial electrical consumption in developed countries. Motors are by far th ...
Sensorless control of PMSM's (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors) has occupied scientists for a long time. The result of this research is becoming widely accepted by the industry due to its low cost and reliability. However, the majority of today's motor ...
If one needs to cancel the effects of the anisotropy of the sample in a EELS experiment in the TEM, a particular couple of values for the collection and convergence angle must be used, called magic angle conditions (MAC). Recent developments in the theory ...
An original analytical formula for the torque/emf constant of a slotless brushless DC (BLDC) motor is presented. It is obtained by solving and integrating the permanent magnet field. In addition, formulas for the both stator and rotor iron fields are deriv ...
The storage system in this paper is made of supercapacitors. The main goal is to ensure an efficient energy management in a series hybrid vehicle, even if braking resistors are still needed. Design considerations are discussed. In particular the influence ...
High-speed bearings and electrical motors are gradually getting available. This is of particular interest for the application of thermal turbomachinery. The availability of high speed bearing and motor components opens the way to new applications for low p ...
The devlopment of domestic heat pump systems is mainly based on the use of volumetric oil lubricated compressors. Following the implementation of economizer based rotary compressors, which represented a major improvement step, one major opportunity to impr ...
The main problem with Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) is the management of batteries. We suggest to replace the batteries by an energy storage ystem made of supercapacitors on a series HEV with two traction drive. A maximum Control Structure (MCS) of such a ...
Piezoelectric motors are resonant vibromotors. They represent a new actuator generation in the field of servo-drives. In particular, the travelling wave ultrasonic motor presents a high torque at low speed, a zero speed torque without feeding, low sensitiv ...
