The Electrical Machines team of the School of ECE, Technical University of Crete has participated in the 26th International Conference on Electrical Machines. The Conference celebrates 50 years from its establishment, by being organised in the Polytechnic University of Torino.
Politecnico di Torino is the academic homeland of Galileo Ferraris, inventor of the rotating magnetic field principle and one of the historically independent inventors of the induction motor (together with Nikola Tesla and Mikhail Dolivo-Dobrovolsky).
ICEM participants: Alexandros Sergakis (Ph.D student), Natalia Fatsea (Final year student) and Associate Professor Konstantinos Gyftakis. The papers that were presented (4 oral and 3 poster) are the following:
-
N. Fatsea, T. Garcia-Calva, D. Morinigo-Sotelo and K. N. Gyftakis, “Rotor Faults Condition Monitoring in Direct on Line Start Permanent Magnet Motors”
-
A. Sergakis, G. Skarmoutsos, M. Mueller and K. N. Gyftakis, “Demagnetization Detection, Misdiagnosis and Impact in Permanent Magnet Generators”
-
N. Ravanis, A. Douvaras and K. N. Gyftakis, “New Experimental-based Modelling of Traction Motor Poles for Impedance Spectroscopy Analysis”
-
D. Chronopoulos, D. Glykos and K. N. Gyftakis, “An Investigation of the Impedance Spectroscopy Suitability for Traction Motor Windings Insulation Health Assessment”
-
M. I. Masoud, G. Skarmoutsos, K. N. Gyftakis and P. A. Panagiotou, “Effects of the Inter-Turn Short-Circuit Fault in the Stator Winding of a 5-phase Induction Motor”
-
Z. Song, P. A. Panagiotou, J. Mayo-Maldonado, I. Arvanitakis, J. Antonino-Daviu and K. N. Gyftakis, “Isolation of Induction Motor Rotor Fault Signatures by Stray Magnetic Flux and Torque Monitoring”
-
M. Salinas, N. Trachalakis, P. A. Panagiotou and K. N. Gyftakis, “Reliable Detection of Non-Adjacent Broken Rotor Bars via the Analysis of the Zero-Sequence Flux”
Out of the above papers, 1 is the product of EU funding, 3 were supported by industrial partners and 4 have been co-authored by international colleagues (specifically: University of Edinburgh, UK, University of Sheffield, UK, University of Valladolid, Spain, Coventry University, UK and Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain). 8 ECE-TUC students appear as co-authors.
The presented papers cover a wide area of the electrical machines field such as:
-
Industrial induction motors
-
Polyphase induction machines for aerospace applications
-
Permanent magnet motors for electric and hybrid electric vehicles
-
Permanent magnet generators for wave energy harvesting
-
Direct online (DOL) permanent magnet motors for industrial systems
Finally, Alexandros Sergakis participated in the ICEM student poster forum, presenting the current progress of his Ph.D and the future steps of it.
