Φ Abstract-For a time-varying loads, the presence of load fluctuation may sometimes have the same effect as broken rotor failure in a stator current of induction motors. In recent years, many methods, which are used to distinguish these two effects, have been published. In this study, a new method, which is based on Analytical Signal Angular Fluctuation (ASAF) signal, is developed to separate effects of load oscillation from broken rotor bar, especially when load oscillation is close to twice slip frequency. The simulation results are presented for the proposed method to show that, discerning broken rotor bar faults from low frequency load oscillation is possible. The developed method is independent of motor parameters. where he is currently an Associate Professor. His research activities include the use of digital signal analysis for diagnostic, condition monitoring and motor failure prediction by sensorless methods and modeling of electrical machines for diagnosis purpose.
In this paper, a method for adjusting the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) coefficients based on the neutrosophic similarity measure is proposed. First, rough PID coefficients were determined by the Ziegler-Nichols method, and the upper and lower limit values for the search range of the PID coefficients were determined. At each step of the search range, we applied a unit step function to the system and obtained the transient response characteristics. The obtained values were converted into a neutrosophic set (real set) by using defined membership functions. Then, the optimal PID coefficients were obtained using the similarity ratio between the real and ideal (target) neutrosophic sets. In calculating the similarity ratio, the Hamming, Euclidean, Set-theoretic, Jaccard, and Dice approaches were applied, and the results were compared. Finally, the proposed method was tested on two transfer functions, and it was demonstrated that the proposed method can be used to adjust PID coefficients.
