The proposed techniques are demonstrated by an example, and the simulated results are verified experimentally. It is shown that the use of high-permittivity ceramic dielectric materials can significantly change the electromagnetic behavior of connecting structures. The concepts can be applied to practical structures and used to improve the converter behavior-for instance, by using the parasitic capacitance for snubbing. This obviates the need for discrete snubber components, leading to circuits with reduced component count, volume, and mass. The main advantage of the method is the significantly reduced switch stresses due to reduced overshoot and oscillation amplitudes. As a result, the switching device ratings can be reduced while maintaining circuit reliability.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":110710,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1992 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121247371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In general, these drives are used to help overcome the friction losses of the particular rolls they drive. The electrical configuration of the helper sections in each of these two tin lines, did not permit proper operation of the helper rolls.

The formulae are useful for the real-time programming of digital controllers designed to achieve maximum performance of AC drives at high speeds. The optimal choice of flux reference is also calculated for the purpose of energy minimization and compared with torque maximization.

The basic idea of this method stems from exploiting the saliency characteristics of a PM synchronous machine. A complete vector control drive of a PM synchronous machine with position estimator has been simulated using the PC-based SIMNON program. The simulation results show that the performance of the machine with position estimator is in close agreement with that of a position sensor. Since the estimation algorithm needs few instructions, such as multiplications and additions and subtractions, it is well suited for real-time application using a high-speed digital signal processor.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":110710,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1992 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"106 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116639057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the present work, a mathematical relationship between these two types of modulating strategies is established, using reduced forms of general AC-AC matrix converter modulation theory. The resultant modulation strategy is shown to be identical to previously reported space vector solutions, which are known to achieve minimum harmonics for both voltage source and current source inverters. This relationship is then extended to be applied to an AC-AC matrix converter, to create a simple space vector modulation algorithm for a matrix converter which can be easily implemented for real-time computation in an online control system.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":110710,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1992 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115560313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, the general illumination within the working and living areas should provide a medium level intensity of white light and utilize supplemental task lighting where functionally required. The luminaire should cover the entire work area with a uniform diffuse intensity. On most spacecraft, a variety of lighting systems are utilized to provide artificial illumination of the exterior visual scene during night side operations. These luminaires provide lighting for the following: extravehicular activity, acquisition tracking, rendezvous, berthing and docking operations.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":110710,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1992 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114343019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
