This paper proposed a real-time, low-cost, fast transistor open-circuit fault diagnosis method for voltage-source inverter fed induction motors. A transistor open-circuit changes the symmetry of the inverter topology, leading to different similarities among three phase load currents. In this paper, dynamic time warping is proposed to describe the similarities among load currents. The proposed diagnosis is independent of the system model and needs no extra sensors or electrical circuits. Both simulation and experimental results show the high efficiency of the proposed fault diagnosis method.

Piezoelectric elements are one of good candidates able to replace motors in various electronics devices. It is slim and compact and low power consumption compare to motors. Linear regulator or class-D amplifier are generally used for piezoelectric element driver, however, suffers from severe power consumption. In this paper, electrical modeling of piezoelectric element will be presented and switching losses on the driver due to the parasitic capacitance will be analyzed. And new ZVS full bridge converter with an inductor will be proposed so as to reduce the power losses.

In this paper, a entertainment biped robot controlled by R/C servo motors is built using the embedded RTOS (Real Time Operating System). uC/OS-II V2.00 is used for RTOS and control algorithm of R/C servo motors is proposed based on uC/OS-II's preemptive and deterministic property without any extra PWM module. The realized biped robot has 19 DOF, and a board 80C196KC as main CPU. To verify the proper walking process, ZMP(Zero Moment Point) theory is applied and ADAMS is used for simulation.

The evaluation of the temperature of the motor in operation is necessary for smaller and lighter design of motors and for the determination of insulation class. The exact loss distribution modelling is absolutely necessary for the enact evaluation of the temperature. We calculated the temperature exactly by considering the loss distribution dependent on temperature. The comparison between the calculated results and the experiments is performed to verify the validity of the analysis.

This paper has presented, taking an example of a gas separation plant, dynamic analysis on frequency decline caused by the over-loading at the generator and the knee point causing voltage instability due to reactive power required by re-acceleration of large induction motors, resulting in phenomena of failure in the conventional frequency load shedding. In order to resolve the voltage instability problem, a design of load shedding system employing under-voltage relays has been proposed to the industrial power system containing large induction motors in addition to the conventional load shedding employing frequency relays. For the purpose of dynamic analysis, models of gas turbine and governor, synchronous generator, brushless exciter, and induction motor are introduced.

This paper presents an improved approach for compensating rotor position signal displacement in brushless DC (BLDC) motors with misaligned hall-effect sensors. Typically, the hall-effect sensors in BLDC motors are located in each phase and positioned exactly 120 electrical degrees apart. However, limitations in mechanical tolerances make it difficult to place hall-effect sensors at the correct location. In this paper, a position error compensator to counteract the hall-effect sensor positioning error is proposed. The proposed position error compensator uses least squares error analysis to adjust the relative position error and back-EMF information to reduce the absolute offset error. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is verified through several experiments.

Electric motors are widely used from precision industry to home appliance. For the precision control of the motors, if it is possible, we need the information of the correct motor parameters. In the motor torque equation, the motor inertia moment and the viscosity friction coefficient are regarded as constant. However the viscosity friction coefficient is not constant in the real system. In this paper, we show that the viscosity friction coefficient has the nonlinear property through the real test and we present the nonlinear function for the viscosity friction coefficient.

In this thesis, an algorithm of fault detection and diagnosis during operation for induction motors under the condition of various loads and rates is investigated. For this purpose, the spectrum pattern of input cutterrents was used to monitor the state of induction motors, and by clustering the spectrum pattern of input currents, the newly occurrence of spectrums pattern caused by faults were detected. For diagnosis of the fault detected, the fuzzy fault tree was designed, and the fuzzy relation equation representing the relation between an induction motor fault and each fault type, was solved. The solution of the fuzzy relation equation shows the possibility of each fault's occurring.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive sliding mode observer-based control of induction motors with uncertainties. The proposed adaptive sliding mode flux observer generates estimates both for the unknown parameters(load torque and rotor resistance) and for the unmeasured state variable (rotor fluxes); they converge to the corresponding true value under persistency of excitation which actually holds in typical operating conditions. The proposed controller guarantees speed tracking and bounded signals for every initial condition of the motor. Simulations show that all estimation errors tend quickly to zero so that high tracking performances are achieved both for speed and rotor flux.

This study sorted high voltage motors by the voltage and the capacity and analyzed the property of motor-start. So we found out some problems of the starting circuit from several sites, and made the answers of the problems. If these results of our study are utilized in new WTPs, the safety of the starting circuit will be improved and the life of electric power system will be longer. We recommend this study as a reference when our company founds the standard of electric facility design.
