Design of an active magnetic bearing system for a high-speed permanent magnet synchronous machine
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)Currently, there are two high-speed permanent magnet synchronous machines (HS-PMSMs), nicknamed the TWINS, situated in the McTronX laboratory at the North-West University. However, excessive heat generated by the ball ... -
Deterministic micro-controller selection method for complex control algorithms
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)This dissertation presents a method for selecting a micro-controller unit (MCU). The driving force behind this method is to determine whether or not a MCU will have enough processing power for a complex control algorithm ... -
Development of a line-start permanent-magnet synchronous machine
(2014)Electrical machines form part of our everyday life at home and in industry plants. Currently induction machines are the backbone of the industry machine installation as these are robust, reliable and have relatively high ... -
Implementation and evaluation of V/f and vector control in high–speed PMSM drives
(North-West University, 2011)The McTronX research group, at the Potchefstroom campus of the North–West University, has been researching Active Magnetic Bearings (AMBs). A fully suspended, flywheel energy storage system (FESS) has been developed. Due ... -
Retrofit design of a line-start permanent-magnet synchronous machine
(2015)Energy resources are under tremendous pressure with society’s ever increasing need for electricity. However, resources are becoming scarce and the effect of our power generation on the environment is cause for concern. ...
