The LCI (Load commutated Inverter) is still today a suitable solution for supplying high power variable speed drive systems. The following main topics are described in this contribution: The modeling of a 20 MW LCI synchronous drive system for a compressio ...
NOVELTY - After disconnection from normal control (3) a pulse generator (4) sends positive and negative pulses to a motor winding R. The response currents are measured (5) from voltages (Vpr,Vnr) which appear after a fixed time on a neutral resistor (2) an ...
This paper deals with the modeling of multi-windings transformers. Based on a real example, a modeling methodology is presented. This methodology is the original part of the paper. Application examples of multi-windings phase shifting transformers (18 and ...
Power-electronic inverters are becoming popular for various industrial drives applications. In recent years also high-power and medium-voltage drive applications have been installed. However, the existing solutions suffer from some important drawbacks. Hyb ...
The study presents dynamic optimisation of a small size single basin wastewater treatment plant. The objectives are to determine an optimal sequence of aeration/non-aeration times and the corresponding periodical steady state subject to minimisation of ene ...
Based on a mathematical model, simulation results show how the mechanical performances of the motor are sensitive to the prestressing force. A test bench has been developed in the laboratory for experimental measurements. The motor is driven by a two-phase ...
The distinct element method (DEM) is an approach to modelling and simulation well suited to the study of discontinuous phenomena. By tracking each element individually and dealing explicitly with every interaction among the elements, the DEM allows one to ...
The aim of the present paper is to extend the well-known complex torque coefficient method usually used for synchronous machine rotor oscillations, to a slip energy recovery induction motor drive. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed extension, ...
Usually, each phase of the direct reluctance motor is fed separately by its own inverter producing a squarewave phase current depending on the rotor position. In the present work, a star-connection of the three stator phases is used and the direct reluctan ...
When we achiev a good performance of the field-oriented vector control system, it is necessary to detect the speed and flux of the motor. Usually it is hard to implemment these sensors. Then the sensor-less contro-system techniques using the observer inste ...
