This paper describes a method for the detection of shorted-turn in the cylindrical synchronous generator rotor windings based on the discrete wavelet transform. Multi-resolution analysis(MRA) based on discrete wavelet transform provides a set of decomposed signals in independent frequency bands, which contain independent dynamic information due to the orthogonality of wavelet function. In the proposed method, shorted-turn detection in rotor windings is based on the decomposition of the rotor currents, where wavelet coefficients of these signals have been extracted. Comparing these extracted coefficients is used for diagnosing the healthy machine from faulty machine. Experimental results are presented for healthy, and machines with 25%, 42%, 67%, 83%, 99% inter-turn short circuits in a rotor slot. Deviation of wavelet coefficients in healthy mode from faulty modes depicts the inverse proportion of shorted-turns. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method for shorted-turn detection in the cylindrical synchronous generator rotor windings.

This paper proposes an initial rotor magnetic pole detection method for single-phase permanent magnet synchronous motors. The target motor cannot obtain position information based on the back emf in the low speed and stop state. Therefore, an open loop starting process is required, and in this process, initial rotor position information for low current and soft start is need. The proposed initial rotor magnetic pole detection algorithm considers the effect of asymmetric air- gap and magnetic flux. In addition, the high-frequency voltage signal injection and the offset voltage for accurate detection is used. As a result, the permanent magnet poles are is determined by acquiring the maximum value of the induced current using the virtual dq-axis.

전력수요의 증가에 대하여 전력을 공급하는 발전기의 대용량화, 고전압화 소형경량화 됨에 따라 발전기 고장 예방을 위한 진단이 더욱더 중요시되고 있다. 이들 발전기의 전기적 고장의 대부분은 고정자 및 회전자 권선에서 발생하며 이의 고장을 복구하는데 장시간이 요구되므로, 발전기의 예측진단에 따른 정비와 더불어 고장을 미연에 발견하고 불시정지에 따른 파급을 막기 위해서는 상시감시가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 소용량 동기발전기를 이용하여 발전기 회전자권선의 단락 고장진단을 위한 공극에서의 자속패턴을 상용 전자장해석 전문프로그램을 이용하여 수치적으로 계산하여 도출하였으며, 또한 실제 회전자 권선 단락 실험을 통하여 실제 공극에서의 자속패턴과 전자장 해석결과와 비교를 하여 전자장 해석결과의 신뢰성을 확보 하였다.

전류 신호에 대한 고속 퓨리에 변환(FFT)은 유도전동기의 고장 검출에 널리 사용되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 고정자 전류 스펙트럼 중에서 회전자 고장에 의해서 많은 영향을 받는 주파수 성분들로 특징 벡터를 구성하고, 이를 단순한 산술 연산만으로 처리함으로써 회전자 고장을 검출한다. 제안한 방법에서는 고장의 유무를 검출하기 위해서 기준 벡터와 입력 고정자 전류 신호로부터 추출된 특징 벡터 간의 차이 신호만을 이용하기 때문에 신경망에 의한 고장 검출 알고리즘 등에 비해서 훨씬 적은 계산량 만으로도 모터의 고장을 효율적으로 검출할 수 있다.

This paper presents a novel method of slip-compensation for rotor time constant variation in indirect field orientation control of induction motor drives. In field oriented control due to variation of rotor time constant, decoupling between the flux and torque components of stator current is lost and hence, the performance of operation of the machine deteriorates. To solve the problem, the q-axis is aligned to reference frame without phase difference by comparing the real flux component with the reference flux component. Then to compensate the slip, PI controller is used. The proposed method keeps a constant slip by compensating the gain of direct slip frequency when the rotor resistance of induction motor varies. To prove the validations of the proposed algorithm in the paper, computer simulations and experiments are executed.

The paper reports an improvement method on torque ripples of multi-pole interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) applied to a traction motor for hybrid electric vehicles. In the case of multi-pole IPMSM, the magnetic flux generated by a permanent magnet tends to leak through the bridge of the rotor without a link with stator windings. The slit design on the rotor surface was proposed to reduce torque rippling and increase the output power by reducing the leakage flux. Two design parameters for the slit are suggested for optimal design using the response surface method. As an analysis method, the 2D finite element method (FEM) was applied to consider magnetic saturation effect.

In brushless DC motors (BLDC), the on/off angle of the switch is determined by the optimal alignment of the stator and rotor, while switched reluctance motors (SRM) are complex parameters with many on/off angles of the switch. It appears as a function and therefore the switching angle is variable for optimal operation. Therefore, in order to operate the switched reluctance motor (SRM) optimally, the rotor position can be detected using a high resolution position sensor and a complicated additional circuit. In this paper, rotor position detection and related position detection circuits are applied and detected by using various sensors such as encoder, hall sensor and opto interrupter among several methods to drive switched reluctance motor (SRM). Also a study on securing the initial position of the rotor was conducted.

Rotor temperature variation is a significant issue in the design of induction motor controls. In the literature, numerous studies have mentioned significant performance degradation due to rotor temperature variation unless it is taken into account. However, those studies have mainly focused on field-oriented control in terms of tracking performance. There was little research about the influence of rotor temperature variation on performance particularly in the case of optimal controls such as maximum torque per amp (MTPA) control strategy. This work investigates how to affect the performance of maximum torque per amp (MTPA) control strategy as rotor temperature varies in time. To this end, investigation was carried out in two ways to see whether the objective of MTPA control strategy is achieved regardless of rotor temperature variation. It is to produce a desired torque with the minimum possible stator current at the same time. Laboratory experiment shows that tracking performance and maximum torque per amp condition is significantly affected by rotor temperature variation as rotor temperature varies, thus ending up with performance degradation of MTPA control.

This paper propose an initial rotor position detection method for sensorless operation of a single-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor(SP-PMSM) with asymmetric air-gap. In general, the sensorless control based on back-emf estimation is difficult to estimate the back-emf at the zero and low speed regions. For this reason, an open loop start-up technique is indispensable, and it is also necessary to detect the initial position of the rotor in order to rotate in a certain direction. In this paper, we propose a method to detect rotor polarity by adding offset voltage to high frequency voltage signal based on the magnetic characteristics of SP-PMSM. The validity and usefulness of the proposed algorithm are verified through several experimental results.
