IMPROVED DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF SIMILAR POLE RATIO DUAL STATOR WINDINGS FOR SIX PHASE INDUCTION MACHINES

📄 Project Abstract

The desirability for new induction machines that possess the combined advantages of the well-established wound-rotor and squirrel-cage induction machines have motivated considerable research interests in the development of dual-stator induction machines. Although extensive literature survey has revealed considerable advancements in the design architecture of dual-stator winding induction machine, it is yet to attain maturity from the standpoints of optimized active material utilization, efficiency and harmonic attenuation. In pursuit of some of these critical issues, this research is primarily aimed at developing a pragmatic approach of re-designing a standard three phase induction machine into an improved dual-stator winding induction machine (DSWIM) and of its practical implementation. More specifically, a methodology which encompasses realizing a dual stator winding machine prototype based on hybrid analytical and genetic algorithm (GA) optimization as well as establishing the machi...
