Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with the investigation and development of methods to monitor the condition of electrical machines, with particular reference to induction machines fed from variable frequency, power electronic supplies. A variety of techniques are suggested whereby the faults that most commonly afflict electrical machines can be identified. Techniques involving the detection and analysis of line current, frame vibration, and leakage magnetic field are proposed and developed to take account of the rich spectrum of harmonics that can be injected through the use of power electronic invert

<p> Field oriented control (FOC) and direct torque control (DTC) are the two most important control strategies for modern advanced machine drives.

Abstract:
High performance variable speed induction motor drives have been commercially available for industrial applications for many years. More recently they have been proposed for applications such as hybrid automotive drives, and some pump applications on more electric aircraft. These applications will require the drive to operate in the presence of faults i.e. they must be “Fault Tolerant” and be capable of “Fault Ride Through”. The aim of this project was therefore to investigate fault ride through control strategies for induction motor drives, particularly with respect to open circuit winding or

This dissertation focus on a Maximum Torque per Ampere (MTPA) control scheme for a non-linear synchronous reluctance motor (Sync-Rel). Due to the absence of permanent magnets, Sync-Rel motors have poor torque production capability and relatively low power factor. Therefore, it is important to maximize the torque given the maximum current of the power inverter. In the classical solution to the MTPA control problem, the d-q current components are considered equal. This solution assumes a linear magnetic circuit for the Sync-Rel motor.

Induction motors are the most widely used industrial prime movers, mainly because of their simple yet powerful construction, ergonomic adaptability, rugged and highly robust structure combined with high reliability. However, under extreme and complex operations, such motors are subject to premature faults, which can be more significant when variable speed drive (VSDs) are used, due to the presence of more voltage harmonics, spikes and increases in operating temperature. In addition, VSD based systems also cause more noise in measured instantaneous current signals. These make it more difficult

Abstract:
In this work, the application of the Predictive Control Technique to the electrical drives has been considered and discussed, especially in comparison with the employment of the traditional control techniques. First of all, a predictive control algorithm for the Brushless DC drive is developed with the aim of improving the traditional current commutation as best as possible. Then, a novel predictive control algorithm is proposed by imposing both the reference torque value and the minimum Joule losses condition. Then, several predictive control algorithms are proposed for the Synchronous Reluct

Abstract:
The accurate and versatile control of a direct current machine's speed using a thyristor converter has led to its use for many industrial applications. However, as will be demonstrated, the current gain characteristic of such a device is not linear and under certain operating conditions can lead to an unacceptable degradation in performance. In order to develop a method of adaptive control that can compensate for the gain changes, the key features and theory of phase controlled thyristor converters are described and used to develop a digital computer simulation of a single phase converter.

Abstract:
Sensorless speed estimation in induction machines (IMs) presents an attractive proposition for eliminating the need for physical speed measurement sensors and thus avoiding the associated reliability and cost issues, such as the requirement of extra wiring, careful mounting, maintenance and adjustment. In this thesis, the feasibility of utilising the stator current and power signals to establish spectral search based (SSB) sensorless speed estimation schemes in wound rotor induction machines (WRIMs) operating in extended slip and open-loop controlled conditions is investigated.

Thesis (PhD (Electrical and Electronic Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2011.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The multiphase induction machine drive has been under investigation for the last half century. Although it offers several attractive advantages over the conventional three-phase induction machine drive, it is restricted to highly specialised applications. One aspect of the multiphase induction machine drive is the complexity of the control algorithm for decoupled flux and torque control. The complexity, arising from the required coordinate transformations, increases with increase in

Abstract:
Considerable research efforts are being carried out worldwide to develop technologies which meet the increasing demand for the efficient utilisation of energy resources. Modern applications, such as renewable energy and electrical vehicles, place a premium on electro-mechanical energy conversion in a power dense and high efficiency manner. Magnetic gears (MG) and magnetically geared machines, offer an attractive alternative to existing systems which may favour the combination of a high speed electrical machine with a mechanical gearbox. This has led to the opportunity to use Pseudo Direct Driv

Abstract:
Switched reluctance motors with fully pitched windings are a relatively recent advancementin motor technology having only been in existences ince the early 1990's. They have been shown previously to offer greater torque per unit copper loss, and hence higher torque density, than conventional switched reluctance machines with short pitched windings. Early work by Mecrow and Barrass has demonstrated operation of prototype machines, developed and assessedv arious methods of control strategy, and made some comparisons of machine efficiency and inverter rating.
