An improved dynamic behavior of water pumping system is presented in this paper. The system consists of a seven-phase induction motor powered by a photovoltaic generator (PVG) and a battery bank, via two static converters controlled independently. A boost converter based on fuzzy logic controller is utilized to adapt the voltage of the photovoltaic generator in order to extract maximum power. A three levels neutral point clamped inverter (NPC) is introduced to attain a low voltage harmonic distortion in the system. In addition, an improved direct field oriented control with minimizing non-sequential currents for the seven-phase induction motor using fuzzy logic filter is implemented. To verify and validate the proposed system, an optimal operating point is chosen to locate the dynamic and static operating limits of the system. Moreover, the proposed system is simulated and analyzed. The minimization of the non-sequential currents component induces a quality energy improvement with minimizing of the Joule losses, which increase the system efficiency. The use of the seven-phase machine brings a degree of additional freedom to the system, its tolerance to faults is a capital issue for the isolated places.
Squirrel cage induction motors suffer from numerous faults, for example cracks in the rotor bars. This paper aims to present a novel algorithm based on Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LS-SVM) for detection partial rupture rotor bar of the squirrel cage asynchronous machine. The stator current spectral analysis based on FFT method is applied in order to extract the fault frequencies related to rotor bar partial rupture. Afterward the LS-SVM approach is established as monitoring system to detect the degree of rupture rotor bar. The training and testing data sets used are derived from the spectral analysis of one stator phase current, containing information about characteristic harmonics related to the partial rupture rotor bar. Satisfactory and more accurate results are obtained by applying LS-SVM to fault diagnosis of rotor bar.
