This dissertation presents a test setup for electrical generators used in small wind turbines. The system is basically composed by an induction motor, which simulates a wind rotor, mechanically coupled to the electrical generator under test; a frequency inverter, used to change the motor speed; transducers of electrical parameters, for the measurement of the parameters of interest (instantaneous voltage and current) at the generator output; an angular velocity sensor for measuring the rotation of the motor shaft; a microcomputer, for monitoring and storing the measured parameters, and control the frequency inverter, through a software developed; a data acquisition board, which serves as the interface between the transducers/sensor and the microcomputer. The angular speed supplied to the generator can be varied according to the given wind speeds values, which are associated with corresponding values of rotation, in order to simulate the behavior of a wind rotor. Thus, it is possible to trace the power curve (power versus wind speed) of the tested generator and analyze its performance. Also presented in this work are the results of measurements made, using the developed setup of a small commercial generator (1 kW) and other developed in a research project, both axial flux permanent magnet machines.

Pré-despacho de carga em usinas termoelétricas considerando a gestão da manutenção via lógica fuzzy

This thesis presents a new proposal for load pre-dispatch considering the technical conditions of the engines of thermoelectric power plants by combining several maintenance and diagnostic techniques and using computational intelligence based on fuzzy logic. Diagnosis of the technical conditions of the engines is done using lubricant analysis, vibration analysis, and thermography. With this data and with the statistical analysis it is possible to predict when an engine can fail and consider this in the load pre-dispatch. To increase engine reliability and power supply, a Maintenance Management Program (MMP) is developed using management tools, applying only 4 TPM (Total Predictive Maintenance) pillars and combined them with predictive maintenance and diagnostics, thus allowing to reduce failures of plant equipment. Some results achieved after the implementation are: reduction of the annual cost of maintenance, reduction of corrective maintenance, increase of the MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) and decrease of MTTR (Mean Time To Repair) in all areas. In addition, the proposed pre-dispatch scheme ensures the demanded power with a high degree of reliability and quality.
