A new algorithm applied to the evaluation of self excited induction generator performance
The paper presents the application of DIRECT algorithm to analyse the performances of the Self-excited induction generator. It is used to minimize the induction generator admittance yielding the solution which consists of the magnetizing reactance and the frequency. These parameters are the keys to find out the self excitation process requirements in terms of the prime mover speed, the capacitance and the load impedance and finally the output performances such as the voltage, output power, etc. A comparison with other powerful optimization algorithms is investigated to obtain DIRECT algorithm performance
Sigmoid function approximation for ANN implementation in FPGA devices
The objective of this work is the implementation of Artificial Neural Network on a FPGA board. This implementation aim is to contribute in the hardware integration solutions in the areas such as monitoring, diagnosis, maintenance and control of power system as well as industrial processes. Since the Simulink library provided by Xilinx, has all the blocks that are necessary for the design of Artificial Neural Networks except a few functions such as sigmoid function. In this work, an approximation of the sigmoid function in polynomial form has been proposed. Then, the sigmoid function approximation has been implemented on FPGA using the Xilinx library. Tests results are satisfactor
Sensorless speed field-oriented control of induction motor tacking core loss into account
In field-oriented controlled induction motor drives, the instantaneous rotor speed is measured using whether sensors or estimators. Since the basic Kalman filter is a state observer, its use in vector controlled schemes has received much attention. However, these schemes are based on the assumption that the existence of iron loss in the induction motor may be neglected. The paper shows the effect of iron loss on the extended Kalman filter performance that is designed on the basis of the classical dq model. Original simulation results are carried out to demonstrate this effect as well as the effectiveness of the suggested approach to minimise the speed estimation error without modifying the EKF's algorithm
