Feasibility study of wireless communication for the Double Fed Induction Machine

The Double Fed Induction Machine (DFIM) is an asynchronous wound-rotor machine. The use of this machine is very popular in the variable speed electrical drives. So its monitoring is important to protect motor from unexpected problems. Today, using wireless communication for electrical machines is interesting for both real time monitoring and diagnostic purposes. In this paper, we propose a system based on wireless communication IEEE 802.11 to control electrical machine. IEEE 802.11 standard is recommended for this type of applications because it provides a faster connection. Therefore, our contribution is to study a new technique to control and monitor the DFIM using wireless communication. Then, the communication protocol, software and hardware design used for the proposed system are presented in detail and the experimental results of our system are illustrated.
