Speech Title: Flux-based fault detection and condition monitoring techniques for electrical machines
Abstract: Electrical machines are a key component in many industrial drives and processes, and their reliable operation is of critical importance. The machines can break down due to mechanical or electrical faults while online condition monitoring will reduce the likelihood of the faults and failure. Aa any type of those faults impact on the main flux of the machine, monitoring the main flux (in the airgap) or leakage flux (outside the machine frame) is proven to be an effective means. This talk will focus on electrical winding and mechanical faults of induction motors, by using giant magnetoresistance (GMR) and Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors to measure the leakage flux for fault diagnosis and analysis. Various types of faults will be studied, compared and detected, pattern recognition and data processing methods will be developed and discussed. The non-intrusive condition monitoring approaches will provide much promise in industry to reduce the carbon emissions and operating costs of key machinery.
