Rotor cage fault diagnosis in three-phase induction motors based on a current and virtual flux approach

TL;DR: In this article, a new approach based on the current and a virtual flux is proposed for the detection of rotor cage fault in a three-phase PWM feed induction motor, which improves the signal to noise ratio.
Journal ArticleDOI

Power quality disturbances classification using the 3-D space representation and PCA based neuro-fuzzy approach

TL;DR: A new approach for power quality (PQ) event detection and classification is proposed based on an automatic four step algorithm that automatically classifies the PQ disturbances.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiobjective planning of distribution networks incorporating switches and protective devices using a memetic optimization

TL;DR: A memetic evolutionary algorithm is proposed, which combines the Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) with a local search algorithm, which allows the utility to obtain the optimal type and location of the equipments to achieve the best reliability with the lower cost.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Multilevel Fault-Tolerant Power Converter for a Switched Reluctance Machine Drive

TL;DR: A power converter topology is presented that provides fault-tolerant capabilities to the drive under a switch fault and will allow to generate multilevel phase voltages in order to apply different voltage levels as function of the SRM speed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advanced control methods for power electronics systems

TL;DR: The straightforward non-linear modeling for controller design and simulation uses switched state-space models avoiding the averaging task, needs few linear control concepts, derives the stability study from geometric properties and leads to an integrated design of the control, modulators and simulation tasks.
