Permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives have many advantages over other drives, i.e. high efficiency and high power density. Particularly, PMSMs are epoch-making and are intensively studied among researchers, scientists and engineers. This paper deals with a novel high performance controller based on genetic algorithm. The scheme allows the motor to be driven with maximum torque per ampere characteristic. In this paper assuming an appropriate fitness function, the optimum values for d-axis current of motor set points at each time are found and then applied to the controller. Simulation results show the successful operation of the proposed controller  

Control strategies of a microgrid which includes both synchronous generators and converter-based distribution generation (DG) units must be designed such that effective operation of the microgrid is achieved. The main objective of this paper is to develop a high performance control strategy for an islanded medium voltage (MV) microgrid consisting of inverter and non-inverter interfaced DG units. A new control method for the synchronous generator in an islanded microgrid is proposed based on a virtual droop scheme. The proposed strategy can effectively manage the real and reactive powers of the microgrid among the inverter and non-inverter based DG units. The steady state and dynamic... 

Brushless doubly fed induction machine has recently attracted attention in variable speed generators and motor drives. In order to have a high performance control, a precise dynamic model is required. This paper aims at introducing a model of brushless doubly fed induction machine taking core loss into account. The details of model derivation are outlined and the torque relation is expressed in the general reference frame. The model is then used for simulation of the dynamic performance of the machine. The error introduced by neglecting core loss effect is also shown  

A dc-dc resonant converter has the advantage of overcoming switching losses and electromagnetic interference which are the main limitations of high frequency power converters. Nevertheless, the modeling and stability analysis of dc-dc resonant converters are considerably more complex than pulsewidth modulation counterparts. The conventional averaged linearized model of the resonant converter has limitations due to averaging and linearization. First of all, the linearized model has large modeling error in presence of large variations of reference voltage and input voltage. Furthermore, Converging area for stabilizing controllers is smaller in the averaged model. In order to overcome these... 

This paper presents a dynamic model for brushless doubly fed machine including core loss. Using the space vector notation, the conventional equivalent circuit model of the machine is modified to take the core loss effect into account. The proposed method introduces resistances corresponding to stator/rotor core loss components designated to the power/control windings. This model can be used for enhanced time-domain simulations, design of high performance control strategies with core loss detuning effect compensation and also as a tool for stability analysis of the machine drive under different control methods. The dynamic model of a prototype machine is simulated with and without... 

This paper presents a data-driven approach that utilizes the gathered experimental data to model and control a test rig constructed for the high-powered gearboxes. For simulating a wide variety of operational conditions, the test rig should be capable of providing different speeds and torques; this is possible using a torque-applying system. For this purpose, Electro-Hydraulic Actuators (EHAs) are used. Since applying accurate torque is a crucial demand as it affects the performance evaluation of the gearboxes, precise modelling of the actuation system along with a high-performance controller are required. In order to eliminate the need for to solve complex nonlinear equations of EHA that...
