    Inductance Measurement Methods for Surface-Mount Permanent Magnet Machines
    (Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2023) Ertan, H. Bulent; Sahin, Ilker
    Analytical performance estimation of a permanent magnet (PM) motor requires an accurate equivalent circuit model. In a lumped electrical model of a PM motor, resistance and inductances appear as passive elements, which are used to represent the phase winding resistance, inductance, core loss, etc. There is currently no available standard for parameter measurement of PM motors. In the literature, there are many studies on inductance measurement. However, they are applied to different types of motors. The purpose of this study is to evaluate those different inductance measurement methods, on the same motors, to identify whether they lead to the same result. Also, it was aimed to find out the difficulties involved in the measurement process. This study concentrates on determining the d -axis and q -axis inductances of two different surface-mount PM motors at standstill and under running conditions. The standstill measurement methods evaluated include the "current decay " method and the "dc inductance bridge " method as well as more common methods. The dependence of the inductances on the current magnitude, frequency, and excitation signal waveform is investigated. Measurements with PWM and sinusoidal ac voltage excitation are found to give similar results. The tests indicated that the "current decay " method is prone to measurement errors especially when the phase resistance is low. It is discovered that inductance measurements from standstill tests are independent of frequency for all practical purposes. Next, the same inductances are measured, while the test motors are running. The methods considered include; inductance measurement from no-load test, zero power factor (PF) load test, and unity PF load test; while the machine is in generating mode. Furthermore, a new inductance measurement method is introduced where the measurement is made while the test motor is driven with a vector-controlled drive. Finally, inductance measurement results from different standstill tests and running tests are compared and evaluated.

    Structured Srs for E-Government Services With Boilerplate Design and Interface
    (Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2023) Oztekin, Gonca Canan; Dalveren, Gonca Gokce Menekse
    There are many projects being carried out to develop e-Government applications. In order to develop an efficient application, a proper requirements specification is strictly required. However, in the case of improper requirements specifications, errors are unavoidable for the developed applications. Therefore, it is necessary to use a model to determine the quality of software requirements. In the literature, several studies have been presented to propose a quality model for software requirements. Yet, there is no study on the development of a quality model for software requirements in Turkish language. Thus, the purpose of this study is to propose a quality assessment model of Software Requirements Specification (SRS) in Turkish language for e-Government applications. The proposed model aims at defining common texts and confirming that the sentences used in writing SRS are developed within an assured structure in order to minimize and standardize the errors originating from natural language. For this purpose, a model based on the Rupp's boilerplate is created that allows the analyst or requirements engineer to accurately enter the requirements statements. In this study, an interface (webpage) is also created so that the model may match requirements with common text templates, compute similarity values, and also may insert the requirements, regulatory documents, and user requirements into the template in a more convenient format. In order to evaluate the proposed model, the sentences in the 32 documents, including 843 requirements, were adapted to the model. Then, the usability of the model was validated by the requirement engineers serving in a Government service. According to the results, it is concluded that the proposed model is applicable, and is able to improve the quality of SRS in Turkish language for e-Government applications.
