Adjustable Speed Drive (ASD) systems are widely used in industry to effectively improve process efficiency and control. Typically, an ASD system consists of a motor with its speed controlled by a power electronics converter via varying the amplitude and frequency of the input voltage. However, several abnormal insulation failures of...
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...
