A washing machine is a good example of a complex system. To meet market standards of the white goods industry the main driving motor of a washing machine must be chosen correctly and controlled effectively. High performance permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) are now becoming the dominant electrical motor used in washing machines. In order to reach the desired efficiency level with PMSM type motors vector control scheme should be applied while cost and reliability requires no sensor to be used. This paper proposes an online method for tuning the proportional and integral terms of current controllers, which control the direct and quadrature axis currents in vector control of PMSM. The tuning is based on Nelder-Mead optimization algorithm and experimental results for spin-dry cycle are presented.

Visually-impaired users and productinteraction : a study on the interfaces of washing machines, vacuum cleanersand irons Özkan, Tülay; Toksöz, Mehmet Refik; Department of Industrial Design (2007) The appearance of the electrical appliances has undergone a dramatic change in many aspects since the 1920’s. Throughout years, along with their changed appearance, the way the appliances are perceived has altered. The interface of domestic products is mainly dominated by visual elements. Undoubtedly, the domination of the visual perception in the interfaces of the appliances might cause complications in the interaction between the product and visually impaired users. In this thesis, the interaction between...
Real-Time Speed and Position Estimation Using Rotor Slot Harmonics Keysan, Ozan; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent (2013-05-01) It is well known that slotting harmonics exist in most of the electrical machines. So far, these harmonics are mainly identified using spectral estimation techniques. However, this approach requires long sampling and computation periods. In this study, a novel speed and position estimation method based on identification of rotor slot harmonics (RSH) that does not require any kind of spectral analysis is proposed. The required information is extracted by demodulating the information available in an external ...
Multiobjective optimization of a tubular pump to improve the applicable operating head and hydraulic performance Zhao, Wenlong; Zhang, Jian; Yu, Xiaodong; Zhou, Daqing; Çalamak, Melih (2021-05-01) Tubular pumps are widely used in irrigation and water conveyance projects. However, the operating head of most of these pumps is low, and only a few studies have focused on the design of an efficient tubular pump with a head more than 5 m, which is common in long-distance water supply projects. This work aims to improve the operating head and efficiency of tubular pumps while maintaining a low shaft power. The multi-objective orthogonal optimization method was used to determine the critical parameters of th...
Efficiency Control of Single Phase Induction Motor Drive Asadabadi, Y. Abdellahi; Markadeh, Gh. R. Arab; Soltani, J.; Heidar, R. (2011-09-10) Single-phase induction motors are widely used in home appliances and industrial control. The multispeed operation and multipurpose operation are provided by controlling the speed of these motors. This paper presents variable-frequency motor drive system implemented by PWAI voltage source inverter, to improve a single-phase induction machine (SIM) efficiency.
Numerical & experimental investigation of flow through a cavitating venturi Yazici, B.; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Ak, M. Ali (2007-06-16) Cavitating venturies are one of the simplest devices to use on a flow line to control the flow rate without using complex valve and measuring systems. It has no moving parts and complex electronic systems. This simplicity increases the reliability of the venturi and makes it a superior element for the military and critical industrial applications. Although cavitating venturis have many advantages and many areas of use, due to the complexity of the physics behind venturi flows, the characteristics of the ven...
