The photogoniometer is composed of a computer-controlled movable mechanical support, presenting two main rotation axes that are powered by DC motors. It uses an accurate and reliable gear technology (harmonic drivers) and is controlled by a micro-computer. ...
Inductive proximity sensors are widely used for the contactless measurement of object or target displacement and position in numerous technical products and systems. They are found in various application domains such as transportation, robots, assembly lin ...
The paper deals with the main problems to solve in order to simulate precisely the behavior of complex power systems with mixed elements (power components and digital regulation devices). A simulation tool developed at the Swiss Federal Institute of Techno ...
The paper deals with the main problems to solve in order to simulate precisely the behavior of complex power systems with mixed elements (power components and digital regulation devices). The main features of an efficient simulation tool are described. The ...
A DC-DC converter is proposed with new modulation schemes for a voltage-controlled output. The DC-DC converter is designed for a reversible current in order to feed DC current motors or four quadrant converters, which need a galvanic separation from a DC s ...
The number of brushless DC (BLDC) motor applications has increased significantly, essentially due to reduced costs of semiconductors and permanent magnets, but also because of the emergence of new control strategies, such as closed-loop and sensorless cont ...
Theoretical and experimental work on the vertical position control system on the COMPASS-D tokamak is described. An analog proportional + derivative (P + D) system is currently used, and two important sources of disturbance are observed in the system. One ...
A new converter topology for drives is presented in this paper: a three-phase multilevel converter with separately regulated dc power supplies. The dc voltages are provided by medium-frequency dc–dc converters. The applications for the converter are especi ...
An original electrical AC loss experimental set-up is presented. For loss comparison purpose, Ic and exponent n are measured with a DC magnetic field between 2 and 400 mT applied perpendicularly to the axis of the sample using a specially designed electrom ...
The paper describes the design of a microcomputer controlled matrix converter for an induction motor drive system. Special emphasis is given to the current commutation eliminating the need for any capacitor-based clamp circuit in the steady state operation ...
