The Impact of Thermal Degradation on Properties of Electrical Machine Winding Insulation Material
Interturn stator short circuits can develop quickly leading to serious damage of an electric machine. However, degradation mechanisms of winding insulation material are not yet fully understood. Therefore, the main contribution of this paper is the analysis of the impact of thermal ageing on the electrical properties of the thin-film winding insulation. The insulation samples have been aged thermally at 200 C -275 C and for 100-1600 h. After ageing, impedance spectroscopy measurements were undertaken on the samples and equivalent-circuit model (ECM) parameters fitted for each measurement....

TOWARDS EFFECTIVE HARNESSING OF WIND ENERGY FOR POWER GENERATION IN NIGERIA
Nigeria, like most developing nations, have over the years, concentrated on conventional energy
resources (hydro and fossil fuel) as the major energy sources for power generation. Power generation
requires the availability of raw energy resources. Conventional energy sources are limited and
unfriendly to the environment. Nigeria desires, and of course, have been making efforts to increase
electric power generation to meet the ever increasing energy demand. This paper looks at the
enormous wind energy potentials in Nigeria. Wind speed which is the most important factor in settingup
a Wind...

Field Orientation Control Of Three Phase Induction Motor: A Modular Approach
This paper focuses on the induction motor control using field orientation control (FOC) approach. The work employed the transformation principles of Park and Clarke which are standard tools for the analysis and modeling of a symmetrical induction motor, where the induction machine is represented as a mathematical model with input and output. The mathematical equations of the per unit model of the induction machine was simulated with MATLAB/Simulink software. The control scheme has an inner and outer loop using a PI controller. After the mathematical modeling and simulation, it was easily...

A RENEWED CALL FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY EXPLOITATION FOR SUSTAINABLE NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Economic growth, rapid industrialization and high standard of living of the citizens of any nation depend, largely, on the extent of availability of affordable energy. Nigeria is an energy-rich nation, abundantly blessed with renewable energy resources. One would expect a heavy reliance on these environmentally- friendly alternative energy sources as obtainable in Europe and other developed economies of the world. On the contrary, the nation depends, almost entirely, on fossil fuels, fuel wood and hydro power from large dams with their attendant negative environmental impacts; hence this...

MODELING AND SIMULATION OF THE START- UP PERFORMANCE OF GRID-CONNECTED PERMANENT MAGNET SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR (PMSM
Electrical machines are an indispensable element of modern industrialization. In the world of electrical machines, the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) is becoming prominent. As the name implies, it uses permanent magnet as its source of field excitation, and this brings about considerable increase in efficiency. The purpose of this work is to study the start-up performance of grid-connected PMSM. The mathematical model of the PMSM was developed, and was simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment. The motor's response like rotor speed, currents in the 3 phases, and torque components...

Circuits, Oscillations, and the Kuramoto Model as Visualized by Phasors
Several modeling approaches can benefit from data and dynamics transformations that allow simplification, generalization , and/or more conceptual treatment of the studied problem. In this work, we discuss the phasor representation, capable of mapping sinusoidal signals into values in the complex plane, which can be associated to vectors. As such, phasors allow visualizating and understanding amplitude and phase relationships, such as relative phase and phase coherence. The potential of phasors for diverse applications is illustrated with respect to AC linear circuits, filters, oscillators...
