Interturn faults in permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) may develop fast into more severe faults such as coil-to-coil, phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground short circuits. These faults are very destructive and may ...

The trend in traction motor design and optimization is to achieve high torque and power densities, wider speed range and high efficiency within the area defining the most frequent operating points. A fast tool to evaluate ...

Accurate dynamic models of electromechanical devices are essential in order to develop effective motion control strategies of such devices. The effects of fringing flux can not be ignored when dealing with electromagn ...

Acoustic emission (AE) is one of the most important non-destructive testing (NDT) methods for materials, constructions and machines. Acoustic emission is defined as the transient elastic energy that is spontaneously released ...

The market is searching for solutions to reduce emissions in the energy sector by increasing the consumer efficiency and flexibility and integrating renewable sources. Prosumers are suited to this role and are increasingly ...

Industrial SMEs may take the decision to invest in energy efficient equipment to reduce energy costs by replacing or upgrading their obsolete equipment or due to external socio-political and legislative pressures. When ...

The detection of unexpected events represents, currently, one of the most critical challenges dealing with electromechanical system diagnosis. In this regard, machine learning based algorithms widely applied in other fields ...

In this paper an evolutive algorithm is used to train an adaptative-network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), particularly a genetic algorithm (GA). The GA is able to train the antecedent and consequent parameters of ...
