A dspace dsp control platform for v/f controlled induction motor drive and parameters identification

This paper presents a full digital implementation of open loop and closed loop Volt-per-Hertz (V/F) Controlled Induction Motor Drive with dSPACE DS 1104 Hardware/Software and Matlab/Simulink environment for educational purpose. A feature of this environment is a simple user interface, which requires a basic knowledge of Matlab/Simulink for designing the controller and motor parameter identification.

Dynamic flux observation on variable parameters in field oriented control for induction machine drives

Controlled position of induction machine without mechanical sensor has reached a very high stage of development a good dynamic performance response. However, the accuracy of the rotor position and torque need high estimation technical flux behavior in control drives. This paper deals with an improvement dynamic rotor flux observation for induction machine drives based on real parameters variation in field oriented control strategy. However, the control flux permitting the minimization power loss energy. This work presents the implementation of real flux control behavior in real time for induction machine based on digital signal processing. The Dspace DS1104 controller board is used in the implementation. The main technical control vector is applied under practical currents, voltages, position tracking measurements. All advantages of the controlmodels are illustrated by simulation and experimental results for induction machine (3 kW/380V) drive

Experimental results of sensorless rotor field oriented control using MRAS

This work deals with design and implementation of sensorless rotor field oriented control using model reference adaptive system (MRAS) of induction motor (IM) drives. SVPWM, using an injected Zero-Sequence Signal (ZSS), is used for controlling the motor. Proportional Integral Controllers with antiwindup are designed. A 3Kw, 3-phase, 50Hz, 1420rpm, induction motor and a dSPACE DS1104 hardware/software are used to carry out the control application. The experimental results show the effectiveness and the limitation of the control metho

Mentha: A genus rich in vital nutra-pharmaceuticals-A review

The genus Mentha comprises several aromatic species, which are cultivated world-over due to their distinct aroma and commercial value. In addition to traditional food flavoring uses, Mentha are well recognized for their folk medicinal uses, especially to treat cold, fever, and digestive and cardiovascular disorders. A number of biological activities such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, biopesticidal, antitumor, anticancer, antiviral, antiallergic, antiinflammatory, antihypertensive, and urease inhibitory activity have been ascribed to Mentha. The traditional pharmacological attributes of Mentha herbs can be linked to the occurrence of bioactive phytochemicals such as terpenoids, alcohols, rosmarinic acid, and antioxidant phenolics among others. A rich source of bioactives, different species of Mentha, can be explored as a promising candidate for the development of nutra-pharmaceuticals. This review covers the nutritional, phytochemical, and traditional medicinal aspects and multiple biological activities of some commonly available species of Mentha so as to explore their potential applications for nutra-pharmaceutical and cosmo-nutraceutical industry. Detailed chemical profile and pharmaceutical attributes of various Mentha essential oils are also covered. Moreover, based on computational analysis, quantitative chemical component-antioxidant activity relationship model is reviewed to predict and correlate structure-activity relationship of potential bioactives in selected Mentha essential oils leading to discovery and developmenmt of novel natural drugs

Antimicrobial potential of wild edible herbaceous species

Natural products, either as pure compounds or as standardized extracts, provide unlimited opportunities to control microbial growth, owing to their chemical composition and diversity. Many herb and spice extracts possess antimicrobial activity against a range of bacteria, yeast, and moulds. Because of their antimicrobial properties, they could be very useful, either as food preservatives or as natural biopesticides. In particular, extracts from wild edible herbaceous species are rich in phenolic compounds. A wide variety of phenolics derived from herbs and spices possesses potent biological activities contributing to their effect against spoilage microorganisms. Many studies have pointed out the antimicrobial properties of certain classes of phenolic compounds, such as hydroxybenzoic, coumaric, and caffeic acid derivatives, flavonoids and coumarins, catechin, epicatechin, proanthocyanidins, and tannins. Moreover, some authors studied the relationship between molecular structure and antimicrobial activity of some phenolic compounds. The antimicrobial activity of polyphenols is principally due to inhibition of some important cellular functions (nucleic acid synthesis, cytoplasmatic membrane functionality, etc.) and to disruption of membrane integrity with consequent leakage of cellular contents. This chapter reviews the most important phenol-rich wild edible herbaceous species known within the Mediterranean area, highlighting the relationship between phenolic composition and antimicrobial activity of their extracts. Moreover, the problem of standardization and safety of plant extracts is analyzed in the light of the latest literature
