This paper presents a detailed analysis of stator winding inter-turn Short Circuit (ITSC) faults, taking the cross effects in the three phases of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) into account by considering insulation degradation resistances. A PMSM with series coils in eac…
Identification of induction motor thermal model for improved drivetrain design
2016
Selection of components of electric drivetrains is not only based on evaluating their ability to perform according to mechanical specifications, but — what is equally important — on assessing their thermal protection limits. These are typically affected by electrical and thermal properties of motors and drives. Although rated parameters (such as power, torque, speed, etc.) are easily accessible in catalogs of equipment producers, more specific properties like mass / length of copper winding, heat dissipation factor, rotor / stator dimensions etc. are not available to customers. Therefore, effective selection of drivetrain components is limited due to the lack of sufficient data and the need…
Parameter sensitivity of flux-linkage based sensorless control for permanent magnet synchronous motors
2017
Sensorless control can be utilized to reduce cost, size and total complexity of a motor drive or enhance reliability of the system. This paper first presents a sensorless control algorithm for a surface permanent-magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM) based on estimated flux linkages and stator currents. Within the algorithm, rotor position error can be predicted by comparing the estimated currents with measured stator currents. Performance of the sensorless control based on flux-linkages and the dependency of the algorithm on motor parameters is then numerically investigated via simulations. It is found from the investigation that the accuracy of the method depends on the motor working condition…
Space‐vector state dynamic model of SynRM considering self‐ and cross‐saturation and related parameter identification
2020
This study proposes a state formulation of the space-vector dynamic model of the Synchronous Reluctance Motor (SynRM) considering both saturation and cross-saturation effects. The proposed model adopts the stator currents as state variables and has been theoretically developed in both the rotor and stator reference frames. The proposed magnetic model is based on a flux versus current approach and relies on the knowledge of 11 parameters. Starting from the definition of a suitable co-energy variation function, new flux versus current functions have been initially developed, based on the hyperbolic functions and, consequently, the static and dynamic inductance versus current functions have be…
Multi-Component Fault Detection in Wind Turbine Pitch Systems Using Extended Park's Vector and Deep Autoencoder Feature Learning
2018
Pitch systems are among the wind turbine components with most frequent failures. This article presents a multicomponent fault detection for induction motors and planetary gearboxes of the electric pitch drives using only the three-phase motor line currents. A deep autoencoder is used to extract features from the extended Park's vector modulus of the motor three-phase currents and a support vector machine to classify faults. The methodology is validated in a laboratory setup of a scaled pitch drive, with four commonly occurring faults, namely, the motor stator turns fault, broken rotor bars fault, planetary gearbox bearing fault and planet gear faults, under varying load and speed conditions.
Multiple Fault Diagnosis of Electric Powertrains Under Variable Speeds Using Convolutional Neural Networks
2018
Electric powertrains are widely used in automotive and renewable energy industries. Reliable diagnosis for defects in the critical components such as bearings, gears and stator windings, is important to prevent failures and enhance the system reliability and power availability. Most of existing fault diagnosis methods are based on specific characteristic frequencies to single faults at constant speed operations. Once multiple faults occur in the system, such a method may not detect the faults effectively and may give false alarms. Furthermore, variable speed operations render a challenge of analysing nonstationary signals. In this work, a deep learning-based fault diagnosis method is propos…
Robust control for high performance induction motor drives based on partial state-feedback linearization
2019
This paper deals with a robust input-output feedback linearization control technique for induction motors. Indeed, classic feedback linearization presents two main disadvantages: 1) the accuracy of the dynamic model; and 2) the corresponding correct knowledge of the model parameters. To address this issue, the linear controller has been substituted with a suitably controller designed to be robust to the variations of the main parameters of the induction motor, like stator and rotor resistances, and the three-phase magnetizing inductance. The proposed controller has been tested both in numerical simulation and experimentally on a suitably designed test setup. Moreover, it has been compared w…
Taste of Fat: A Sixth Taste Modality?
2015
International audience; An attraction for palatable foods rich in lipids is shared by rodents and humans. Over the last decade, the mechanisms responsible for this specific eating behavior have been actively studied, and compelling evidence implicates a taste component in the orosensory detection of dietary lipids [i.e., long-chain fatty acids (LCFA)], in addition to textural, olfactory, and postingestive cues. The interactions between LCFA and specific receptors in taste bud cells (TBC) elicit physiological changes that affect both food intake and digestive functions. After a short overview of the gustatory pathway, this review brings together the key findings consistent with the existence…
An increase in visceral fat is associated with a decrease in the taste and olfactory capacity
2017
Introduction Sensory factors may play an important role in the determination of appetite and food choices. Also, some adipokines may alter or predict the perception and pleasantness of specific odors. We aimed to analyze differences in smell–taste capacity between females with different weights and relate them with fat and fat-free mass, visceral fat, and several adipokines. Materials and methods 179 females with different weights (from low weight to morbid obesity) were studied. We analyzed the relation between fat, fat-free mass, visceral fat (indirectly estimated by bioelectrical impedance analysis with visceral fat rating (VFR)), leptin, adiponectin and visfatin. The smell and taste ass…
El administrador testamentario ¿venganza póstuma?
2019
El objeto del presente estudio es poner de manifiesto la escasa regulación en el Código civil de la figura del administrador testamentario. Esta figura ha sido creada con la intención de proteger el patrimonio del hijo menor o incapacitado del testador. Sin embargo, esta figura puede provocar graves problemas cuandola persona designada para el cargo de administrador testamentario mantiene malas relaciones con el progenitor del menor que ha sido expresamente excluido de la administración de aquellos bienes transmitidos a título gratuito. En este trabajo analizaremos las distintas soluciones planteadas por la jurisprudencia y la doctrina para aplicar analógicamente los regímenes de otras figu…
