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

This article deals with the study of the particle swarm optimization algorithm and its variants. After modeling the global system, a comparative study is carried out about the algorithms described in ...

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 ...

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 ...

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; ...

The high-energy-product neodymium rare-earth permanent magnet (RE-PM) was discovered in the early 1980s. Later, dysprosium doping emerged to provide reasonable RE-PM magnetization life by sacrificing ...

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 ...
