Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In electrical machines and their applications in industry, condition monitoring is the basis for predictive maintenance. Machine health monitoring is a process of verifying the health of machinery during its normal operation. It is based on data acquisition, its processing and its comparison with trend and representative data from similar machines. In recent years, various machine health monitoring techniques have emerged that are used to determine the machine condition; additionally, advancements related to sensors, software and hardware are essential to achieve this goal. However, the topic continues to generate new trends in methodologies related to condition-based monitoring. The goal of this Special Issue is to bring researchers and industrial practitioners together to share their research findings and present ideas that are relevant in the field of electrical machine monitoring for determination of machine condition.

This paper proposes a feature-based methodology for early bearing fault detection and classification in induction motors through current signals using the digital Taylor–Fourier transform (DTFT) and statistical methods. The DTFT allows the application of narrow bandwidth digital filters located in the spurious current signal components, wherewith it is possible to gain information to detect bearing issues and classify them using statistical methods. The methodology was implemented in MATLAB using the digital Taylor–Fourier transform for three fault types (bearing ball damage, outer-race damage, and corrosion damage) at different powering conditions: power grid source at 60 Hz and adjustable speed drive applied (60 Hz, 50 Hz, 40 Hz, 30 Hz, 20 Hz, and 10 Hz) in loading and unloading conditions. Results demonstrate a classification accuracy between 93–99% for bearing ball damage, 91–99% for outer-race damage, and 94–99% for corrosion damage. Full article

Outrunner brushless DC motors (BLDC) are a type of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) widely used in electric micro-mobility vehicles, such as scooters, electric bicycles, wheelchairs, and segways, among others. Those vehicles have many operational constraints because they are driven directly by the user with light protective wearing. Therefore, to improve control strategies to make the drive safer, it is essential to model the traction system over a wide range of operating conditions in a street environment. In this work, we developed an electro-mechanical model based on the Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) structure for a two-wheeler electric scooter, using the BLDC motor to explore its response and to test linear controllers for speed and torque management under variable operating conditions. The proposed model includes motor parameters, power electronics component characteristics, mechanical structure, and external operating conditions. Meanwhile the linear controllers will be adjusted or tuned though a heuristic approach based on Genetic Algorithms (GAs) to optimize the system’s response. The HIL scheme will be able to simulate a wide range of conditions such as user weight, slopes, wind speed changes, and combined conditions. The designed model can be used to improve the design of the controller and estimate mechanical and electrical loads. Finally, the results of the controller tests show how the proposed cascade scheme, tuned through the GA, improves the system behavior and reduces the mean square error with respect to a classical tuning approach between 20% and 60%.
