Since the boom of the NdFeB magnets industry, the usage and potential applications for permanent magnet machines have grown exponentially to the detriment of traditional induction systems. In special ...

Abstract Optimal control of large-scale wind turbine has become a critical issue for the development of renewable energy systems and their integration into the power grid to provide reliable, secure, ...

Permanent magnet generators (PMGs) are increasingly favored for their high efficiency, compact design, and ability to operate ...

A wind energy conversion system needs a maximum power point tracking strategy. In the literature, several works have interested in the search for a maximum power point. Generally, their goals are to ...

There is a constant need and desire throughout the HVAC industry to spur innovation and create new products and ideas that can redefine the marketplace. In the realm of motors, the permanent magnet ...

There seems to be some confusion within the industry about the terms “permanent magnet synchronous motors” (PMSMs) and “brushless DC (BLDC) motors”. I’ve talked with several different application ...

ABB will deliver an equipment package for Himalaya Shipping's ultra-large bulk carriers that will feature innovative shaft generators with a Power-Take-Off (PTO) solution, comprising new drive systems ...

Magnetic couplings transmit high torque with no physical contact, and they disengage smoothly when load gets too high. Generally speaking, the couplings use magnetic power in three different ways; ...

Continuing headlines about superefficient electric drives might lead some observers to wonder about the future of three-phase induction motors. The truth is that induction motors aren’t going away any ...
