Abstract: A novel failure detection method for rotating rectifier of the brushless synchronous starter/generator in the generator mode has been proposed. In this method, the terminal voltage of the ...

Abstract: Owing to the high reliability and low maintenance requirement, brushless synchronous generators (BLSG) are used in many applications from small power generating sets to large-capacity ...

As we move away from large power plants with massive rotating turbogenerators, there will be problems with maintaining lock-step grid system frequency stability. Wind turbines have much less ...

The increasing importance of energy efficiency has brought electric motor makers to promote a variety of schemes that improve motor performance. Unfortunately the terminology associated with motor ...

The topic of motors and motor control techniques is wide and varied. Part one of this two-part article will cover the principles of alternating-current (AC) motor operation and control. Part two will ...
