This research introduces an energy storage system to deliver microgrid frequency response. A doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) and a squirrel cage induction machine (SCIM) are coupled together as a motor/generator set to deliver an immediate inertial response to a change of frequency, and an inverter and supercapacitors deliver short term...
Induction motors are considered to be the work horse in all types of today's industries. In all mechanical applications, using an induction motor is considered to be the preferable, if not the optimum selection. Their failures, on the other hand, cause an interruption equal to their volume of dependency in...
Preventative motor fault detection is of prime importance for modern plant management. During research into rotor faults, performed at the Motor Systems Resource Facility (MSRF), an optimized rotor fault detection and classification method was proposed. In critical process applications, the suggested method would provide the foundation for continually monitoring a...
