  • The design and construction of a 1500 watt electric motor

    Creator:
    Alspaugh, Augustus Marshall
    Abstract:
    Electromagnetic engines, or motors, are machines in which the motive power is derived from electric currents by means of their electromagnetic action. The following design is for a 1½ K.W. bi-polar motor.

  • The development of commercially viable brushless doubly-fed machines

    Creator:
    Bellagh, Robert L.
    Abstract:
    Basic operation, as well as successful development, of the Brush less Doubly-fed Machine (BDFM) has been documented, and research has turned from proof of concept and early development to the more practical direction of increased manufacturability to prove industrial viability. Previous research centered on using standard induction motor stators along...

  • 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...

  • Advanced propulsion systems for linear motion with high performance requirements

    Creator:
    Zhou, Xiaolin
    Abstract:
    Traditionally linear actuator applications are addressed by the use of hydraulic systems. The high maintenance cost and poor reliability will always be the most critical problem in the real applications. Benefited from both the high mechanical advantage of the roll screw and the simple structure of the switched reluctance motor,...

  • Testing and modeling of the single-phase Written-Pole Motor

    Creator:
    Chis, Lucian
    Abstract:
    A relatively new development in the electric machines field has been the written-pole technology, of which the latest product is the large single-phase electric motor, the single phase Written-Pole Motor (WPM). The WPM is a synchronous, permanent-magnet single-phase motor having a weak rotor cage for start-up which in addition exhibits...

  • Use of multiple loop model for brushless doubly fed machine rotor design

    Creator:
    Kemp, Alson R.
    Abstract:
    The Brushless Doubly Fed Machine (BDFM) is receiving attention as a candidate for use in adjustable speed drives (ASDs) and variable speed generators (VSGs). With a large percentage of a drive or generator system's cost due to power electronics content, considerable research has been conducted to find drives in which...

  • Characterization studies and industrial control development for the brushless doubly-fed machine

    Creator:
    Koch, Brian
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents the development of a supervisory controller for a pre-commercial Brushless Doubly-Fed Machine (BDFM) drive system. In addition, characterizations of new diecast rotors for the BDFM are presented. Using the characterization results from the new rotors, a control scheme was developed to allow a BDFM to be packaged...

  • 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...

  • A low cost AC motor drive for battery powered applications

    Creator:
    Wiley, Brian
    Abstract:
    Environmental concerns have renewed the interest in electric vehicles. To gain widespread use, electric vehicles will also have to offer good performance and be reasonably priced. AC drive systems using modern semiconductors can provide efficient operation at the required power levels, but their cost at present is still too high....

    Abstract:
    The Brushless Doubly-Fed Machine (BDFM) has recently become an important research topic in the field of variable-speed AC drives. In recent studies, the BDFM has shown significant potential for improving the reliability and performance of AC drive systems, as well as reducing total system cost. While the BDFM offers several...
