This paper presents an initial state of the art about the estimation of the sound power emitted by electrical machines. The paper proposes a new method, more accurate, to evaluate the sound power emitted by a PM machine by a 3D FEM mechanical analysis. It ...
This paper presents an initial state of the art about the most important techniques for reducing noise in an electrical machine. The FEM 3D modal analysis (realized with the software Ansys 11.0) is then proposed to study and reduce the acoustical power rad ...
This paper introduces a promising technique for detecting the rotor position of a PM motor at standstill. The technique is based on the B-H hysteresis characteristics of the stator iron. Depending on the rotor position, a very particular phenomenon related ...
Initially, linear motors have been particularly dedicated to transportation systems. Nowadays, linear motors are meant to replace a system using a rotating motor and a transmission to realize a linear movement. With linear motors the performances increase ...
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to develop a contactless torque measurement methods. The need for low-weight, high-efficiency and high-power density motors has led to an increased research and development activity in the field of very high speed (VH ...
This paper describes a novel and patented air-gap monitoring system for large low speed synchronous hydro-generators. This new system is based on inductive sensors, it is able to measure in real time a static or a dynamic rotor eccentricity, a stator or a ...
For the simulation of electrical power systems (adjustable speed drives, wind farms, complete grids, etc.) the Kirchhoff's model is used. Each of the components of this model (transmission line, circuit breaker, electrical machines, etc.) is represented by ...
This paper presents a combined analytical and finite-element (FE) method for computation of the no-load voltage waveform of laminated salient-pole synchronous generators. The described method takes into account saturation effects as well as the damper bar ...
The present thesis is an advanced contribution to the design process of large synchronous generators with high number of poles. It proposes two original contributions, the first one allowing a very precise prediction of the no-load voltage and of the no-lo ...
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 ...
