Geothermal power offers a stable, continuous source of renewable energy that could help power millions of homes while reducing dependence on fossil fuels. As governments worldwide pursue ...

Combining the advantages of permanent magnet and induction motors, new synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM) offer potentially breakthrough technology for variable speed drive (VSD) and motor packages ...

Early incarnations of the electric motor first appeared in the 1740s through the work of Scottish Benedictine monk and scientist, Andrew Gordon. Other scientists such as Michael Faraday and Joseph ...

Although an increasing interest and use of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) can be observed during the last decade, the standard 3-phase Induction Motor (IM) is still the most widely used ...

This document written by Steve Bowling, Application Segments Engineer at Microchip Technology, discusses how motor works and describes the AC induction motor, variable-speed ACIM control, and FOC.

Nidec Corporation (TSE: 6594; OTC US: NJDCY) (the “Company” or “Nidec”) announced today that it has launched for the US market SynRA (Synchronous Reluctance Motor with Aluminum Cage Rotor), the ...

Generating electricity from geothermal energy is a complicated process that relies on underground reservoirs of water heated by the Earth’s crust. The steam created in the reservoirs is drawn to the ...
