  • Modified Speed Sensor-less Grid Connected DFIG based WECS
    Indian journal of science and technology, 2015
    Co-Authors: Subir Datta, J. P. Mishra
    Abstract:

    This paper presents a new Phase Locked Loop (PLL) based slip Speed estimator for Speed Sensor less field oriented vector control operation of variable Speed grid connected Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS). Three phase rotor current is used to design a PLL based slip estimator for Speed Sensor-less vector control operation of rotor side converter. The proposed Speed Sensor-less grid connected Double Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) based WECS is used for decoupled control of stator active and reactive power to ensure maximizing the power generation at unity power factor under varying wind Speed. The Speed Sensor-less Vector control scheme is also incorporated with an optimal Speed tracking controller for maximum energy capture in the rated wind Speed range and restrict the mechanical output power to the rated value using pitch angle control when the wind velocity crosses rated limit to prevent overloading and outage of the wind turbine. The proposed method does not require the information of rotor Speed or position for Speed Sensor less DFIG based WECS unlike other published methods. Simulation has been carried out in MATLAB/Simulink environment and results have been analyzed. Results show that the proposed Speed Sensor-less DFIG system can operate at its optimum energy level for a wide range of wind Speed and is capable for satisfactory operation of the variable Speed WECS.

The Sensor is based on a passive rotating electrode placed between two mechanically static and electrically active electrodes. The different characteristics of the charge transfer at various Sensor positions is utilized as an input for the calculation of the rotational Speed.

  • Energy harvesting Wheel Speed Sensor
    2020
    Co-Authors: Dhasarathy Parthasarathy
    Abstract:

    This thesis presents a prototype energy harvesting autonomous Sensor, called the Autonomous Wheel Speed Sensor (AWSS), that is targeted for operation in the Electronic Braking System (EBS) of vehicles. In order to monitor the rotational state of a wheel, the EBS currently uses a passive Wheel Speed Sensor (WSS) which is a variable reluctance electromagnetic transducer. In the existing EBS setup, one WSS is used per wheel, each of which is connected to the EBS system using extensive cabling. This project presents the first successful attempt at converting the WSS into an energy harvesting wireless wheel Speed Sensor or in other words an Autonomous Wheel Speed Sensor (AWSS), which provides information about the rotational state of the wheel to the EBS system over a wireless link. Unlike most wireless Sensors which use batteries, the AWSS employs energy harvesting to power itself by simultaneously using the WSS electromagnetic transducer as an energy harvester as well as a Sensor. By thus making an autonomous WSS, the amount of cables in the existing WSS assembly can be reduced, leading to savings in material, assembly and maintenance costs. The self-powered prototype AWSS successfully implements periodic wireless transmission of the wheel Speed along with near real-time wheel lock detection, at a duty cycle of less than The AWSS has been built using readily available COTS components and uses a proprietary low-power standard for wireless communication. The prototype AWSS implemented in this project successfully demonstrates that the WSS is capable of being used as an energy harvesting transducer. In the experimental setup used in this project, the WSS yields harvestable power of for Speed ranges of. This opens up the possibility of using the variable reluctance Sensor setup to harvest energy from any rotational assembly and use this harvested energy to power autonomous Sensors. This prototype system is intended for operation in AB Volvo vehicle applications and the project is a partnership between Chalmers University of Technology and Volvo Group Trucks Technology – Advanced Technology and Research, Goteborg, Sweden.

  • Prototype energy harvesting wheel Speed Sensor for anti-lock braking
    2012 IEEE International Symposium on Robotic and Sensors Environments Proceedings, 2012
    Co-Authors: Dhasarathy Parthasarathy, Peter Enoksson, Roy Johansson
    Abstract:

    An energy harvesting wireless wheel Speed Sensor is presented, which implements two basic functions for anti-lock braking, namely periodic transmission of wheel Speed information and near real-time detection of the start/stop of wheel rotation. The prototype Sensor is powered by reusing a commercially available variable reluctance electromagnetic Speed Sensor as an energy harvesting transducer. In an experimental setup, a maximum harvestable power of ~1 mW from the transducer (at a wheel rotational Speed of ~ 300 RPM) has been measured which has been used for powering the autonomous Sensor. Each recurrent operation in the (prototype) autonomous Sensor consumes a maximum of ~23 mW of power in bursts for ~3 ms, and a simple statistical model of wheel behavior has been proposed based on which the average power consumption of the Sensor has been calculated.

  • EMS - Signal Analysis in Back Bias Speed Sensor Systems
    2013 European Modelling Symposium, 2013
    Co-Authors: Michael Ortner, Michael Seger, Marcelo Ribeiro, Armin Satz
    Abstract:

    Wheel Speed Sensors determine the angular velocity of rotating axes and are widely used in modern industry with a variety of applications. This paper provides a general introduction to back bias Speed Sensor systems, presenting and discussing the numerous parameters of a general 3D model. The underlying physical mechanisms of the back bias principle are explained with the help of 2D FEM magneto-static simulations. While 2D simulations do not perfectly reflect the magnetic field dynamics of the real problem, they provide an excellent qualitative understanding of the signal behavior concerning model parameter variations. Based on the previous discussions, a representative cogwheel geometry is proposed and analyzed in detail, featuring a study of the influences of the model parameters on the Speed Sensor signal. As an outcome of the parameter sensitivity analysis, it was possible to determine the degree of influence of the different model parameters on the quality of the Speed Sensor signal. In conclusion, this study aims to advance the general understanding of the Speed Sensor signal in back bias systems for manufacturers and to form a solid basis for future work in this field.
