  • Performance and parameter prediction of large synchronous machines from physical dimensions

    Creator:
    Heberle, David D.
    Abstract:
    A project funded by the Southern California Edison (SCE) Company, Research Center of Irwindale, California, has supported the development of a performance and parameter prediction software program for use during the refurbishment of large synchronous machines, turbine generators, and synchronous condensers. The computer program was developed for SCE to allow...

  • Preliminary studies on a magnetic elevator for solids (MES)

    Creator:
    Ranawake, Udaya A.
    Abstract:
    The thesis describes the preliminary studies on a laboratory model of a magnetic elevator intended as part of a system for circulating magnetic materials in chemical reactors. A multiple coil laboratory model, controlled by computer, was designed and constructed. Current measuring transducers were used to monitor system performance and study...

  • General pole number model for the brushless doubly-fed machine

    Creator:
    Boger, Michael S.
    Abstract:
    The Brush less Doubly-Fed Machine (BDFM) has the potential to be a more cost effective replacement for conventional induction or synchronous machine drives. The BDFM has two stator windings: a power winding and a control winding. An electronic power converter of variable voltage and frequency is connected to the control...

  • Design procedure for brushless doubly-fed machine used as a limited speed-range pump drive

    Creator:
    Alajmi, Abdulhadi M.
    Abstract:
    The continuing desire of industry to further improve process efficiency, through tighter control and energy conservation, has prompted users to pay closer attention to Adjustable Speed Drives (ASDs). The conventional ASDs consist of induction or synchronous motors controlled by power electronic controllers through the adjustment of supply frequency and line...

  • Passively controlled variable-speed generator system

    Creator:
    Bathon, Tobias Siegfried
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents both an analysis and simulations of a passively controlled variable-speed generator system, which can be applied for renewable energy sources such as wind turbines. Parallel connected passive/external resistors and inductors are connected to the slip rings of a wound rotor induction machine to provide an acceptable speed...

  • Investigation, analysis and design of the linear brushless doubly-fed machine

    Creator:
    Seifkhani, Farroh
    Abstract:
    This thesis covers the efforts of the design, analysis, characteristics, and construction of a Linear Brush less Doubly-Fed Machine (LBDFM), as well as the results of the investigations and comparison with its actual prototype. In recent years, attempts to develop new means of high-speed, efficient transportation have led to considerable...

  • Development of a 300 Hp regenerative motor and generator test facility

    Creator:
    Lewis, Timothy M. (Timothy Michael)
    Abstract:
    A 300 hp motor and generator testing facility is being completed at Oregon State University. The testing center is the largest independent testing facility west of the Mississippi River. This regional resource center will incorporate state-of-the-art features that set it apart from other testing facilities. An induction machine with a...

  • Three-dimensional finite element design procedure for the brushless doubly fed machine

    Creator:
    Thompson, Brenda E.
    Abstract:
    Brushless Doubly Fed Machines (BDFM) have potential advantages in variable speed generation and adjustable speed drive applications. The most significant of these advantages is a reduction in the power electronic converter rating, and therefore a reduction in overall system cost. Presently, efforts are being directed at optimizing the design of...

  • Evaluation of the stray load losses for a three-phase induction motor

    Creator:
    Nagornyy, Aleksandr S.
    Abstract:
    The evaluation of the stray-load losses in induction motors is an important part of the efficiency estimation process. However, stray-load losses have several components which are difficult to isolate and calculate. Consequently, they are more readily determined by test. IEEE Standard 112-1996 recommends the testing of electrical induction motors at...

  • Maximization of energy capture of passive, variable-speed wind-turbine

    Creator:
    Kinjo, Fuminao
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents and examines the concept that the output of a wound-rotor induction generator (WRIG) can be limited by means of linking to external impedances for wind-turbine generating system application. An 80kW-WRIG is simulated as a model to examine the control of the output power vs. speed characteristic. Model...
