Transient diagnosis of induction generators via atom-based time-frequency transforms (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pons-Llinares, J., Riera-Guasp, M., Antonino-Daviu, J. A., & Vedreno-Santos, F. (2014, September). Transient diagnosis of induction generators via atom-based time-frequency transforms. Presented at 2014 International Conference on Electrical Machines (ICE

Induction generators used in windmills usually work in non-stationary conditions, due to the varying speed of the wind. Therefore, in order to perform its diagnosis through the stator current analysis, adequate time-frequency transforms must be used....
