under variable load conditions is still an unsolved matter.
Under those regimes, the application of conventional diagnostic
techniques is not suitable, since they are adapted to the analysis
of stationary quantities. In this context, modern transient-based
methodologies become very appropriate. This paper improves a
technique, based on the application of Wigner Ville distribution
as time frequency decomposition tool, using a particle filtering
method as feature extraction procedure, to diagnose and quantify
electrical asymmetries in induction machines, such as wound-
rotor induction generators used in wind farms. The combination
of both tools allows tracking several variable frequency harmon-
ics simultaneously and computing their energy with high accu-
racy, yielding magnitudes and values similar to those obtained
by the application of the fast Fourier transform in stationary
operation. The experimental results show the validity of the
approach for rapid speed variations, independently of any speed
sensor.Climente Alarcon, V.; Antonino Daviu, JA.; Haavisto, A.; Arkkio, A. (2014).
