    Self reactance Xd in direct axis ’d’ and self reaktance Xq in quadrature axis ’q’ influence the load characteristics of the permanent magnet machine. Their calculation methods are known. All calculations should be verified by measurements. Measurement with AC variable voltage and frequency source applied on stator winding is correct when eddy currents do not exist. Other methods evaluate the DC current decay after initial direct current was applied on the stator winding. Accuracy of these methods is lowered because of the numerical evaluation of current decay curve. Another method performs the measurement on the machine loaded as a motor. The load angle is measured by a machine set of four machines. The accuracy is lowered by higher harmonics induced in no load in the helping synchronous machine. The load angle can be also obtained by geometrical construction of the vector diagram. In this paper the evaluation of the generator steady state regime of the machine is used. The generator works with different loads consisting of capacitance, inductance or arbitrary impedance or resistance. When the generator transfers from no load to load regime the rotor is shifting and the load angle changes. This angle is measured. The newly proposed measurement methods are simple in special cases of loads. Results of measurements and their experimental verification are published in the paper.

  • Annotation:
    This paper presents simulation and implementation of DC-DC converter. The converter is connected to a photovoltaic panel. The converter is intended for implementation of various Maximum Power Point Trackers (MPPT). There are described converters and used MPPT in this paper too. Input voltage of the converter is tens of volts and maximal input power is 200 W. This power corresponds to power of a photovoltaic panel. The converter was designed to be connected to an inverter. The inverter input voltage must be more than 400 V because it is connected to single-phase grid without using transformer. This voltage is produced by the DC-DC converter.

Control Unit for 3-phase Sequentional Switch

  • Department: Department of Electric Drives and Traction
  • Annotation:
    Switching of 3-phase inductive load produced current transient phenomena which are dangerous from the point of view of circuit protection. Amplitude of current in each phase conductor depends on the switching moment and actual mains voltage value. Minimisation of load current surge is possible by means of phase sequentional switching.
