Abstract

An induction machine is a highly non-linear system that poses a great challenge because of its fault diagnosis due to the processing of large and complex data. The fault in an induction machine can lead to excessive downtimes that can lead to huge losses in terms of maintenance and production. This paper discusses the diagnosis of stator winding faults, which is one of the common faults in an induction machine. Several diagnostics techniques have been presented in the literature. Fault detection using traditional analytical methods are not always possible as this requires prior knowledge of the exact motor model. The motor models are also susceptible to inaccuracy due to parameter variations. This paper presents Adaptive Neuro-fuzzy Inference system (ANFIS) based fault diagnosis of induction motors. The distinction between the stator winding fault and supply unbalance is addressed in this paper. Experimental data is collected by shorting the turns of a health motor as well as creating unbalance in the stator voltage. The data is processed and fed to an ANFIS classifier that accurately identifies the faulted condition and unbalanced supply voltage conditions. The ANFIS provides almost 99% accurate and computationally efficient output in diagnosing the faults and unbalance conditions.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v3i1.1854

Abstract

This paper presents pulse width modulation technique for a direct ac-ac converter. The converter has seven-phase input supply and three-phase output. The input supply may be obtained from a seven-phase wind energy generation system with variable output voltage magnitude and frequency. The output of the proposed converter topology may be fed to the three-phase stiff grid system. Thus the requirement of the modulation of the ac-ac converter is to produce fixed voltage and fixed frequency output while the input can be variable. Additionally the output voltage gain should be high. Simple carrier-based PWM technique is suggested and harmonic injection scheme is proposed to enhance the output voltage magnitude. The output voltage reaches 90% of the input supply voltage with the proposed technique. An additional control block is used to stabilize the output voltage and frequency of the converter. Simulation results are shown in the paper for the verification of the proposed scheme.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v3i3.4315
