An 8/6 Two Layers Switched Reluctance Motor: Modeling, Simulation and Experimental Analysis

Development in power electronic derives, moreover simplicity and robustness of Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) besides their ability to work in harsh conditions, makes them appealing to industrial applications. Structurally, SRM has ability to conform to different configurations to make it suited for purposed application. In this paper, an 8/6 two layers Switched Reluctance Motor is introduced. This rotor consists of two magnetically dependent sets which each set contains 8 stator poles and 6 rotor poles with windings wrapped around them. The torque ripple reduction is done by a novel introduced method using Rotor Shifting Method (RST). Furthermore, motor operations as SRM are modeled and simulated by 3D Finite Element Method (FEM). Finally, prototype of motor is fabricated and experimental analysis is carried out to confirm validation of modeling and simulation results

Analysis of Permanent Magnet Wind Turbine Dynamics During Wind Fluctuations

This paper analyzes the behavior of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) wind turbine using the maximum    power extraction (MPE) method in response to wind speed fluctuations. The behavior of the wind turbine in the frequency domain will be analyzed to have the wind turbine response in the frequency domain. By combining the wind speed frequency content and wind turbine frequency response, the frequency content of wind turbine output power fluctuation will be gained. A PMSG wind turbine system is simulated with real wind speed data in the PSIM software environment, and the results are compared with theoretical results for validation of the model
