The simulator consists of four driven rolls including unwinder, winder and two bridle rolls. Some relationships between design parameters and characteristics of the simulator are explained as a design guide of a multi-span system. A new control algorithm of continuous load balance control is proposed for the control of speed and tension in multi-span system. The strip tension is controlled by the continuous balancing of the load torque of rolls without tension sensor. The simulation and experimental results reveal conspicuous improvement of tension control performance by the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":125787,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1999 IEEE Industry Applications Conference.

The Chilean mining industry use them in milling operations in ranges of several thousands hp. Although a high pulse number for the inverter would be beneficial, it never goes beyond 12, due to complicated transformer connections. Thus, a highly-distorted harmonic-rich current feeds the synchronous motor, increasing the inverter commutation angle and causing additional rotor-heating and pulsating electric torque. In this paper a new design for the inverter, without complicated circuitry, is proposed, so that it works with 36 pulses and then the motor is fed with a highly sinusoidal current. Also, the same technique is applied to the rectifier end, so that an effective harmonic reduction is carried out at both ends of the system, i.e. the motor as well as the AC system.","PeriodicalId":125787,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1999 IEEE Industry Applications Conference.

Experiments are described, which were performed with a special calorimeter and a compound optical source consisting of a spark gap, a human-body-model ESD signal generator, and four light emitting diodes. The spark gap was used as a versatile and more powerful source of optical emission than the human-body-model circuit; the LED source was used for calibration and alignment. For control, the spectrum of the spark discharge was measured with a spectrometer and a broadband photodetector. The calorimeter system sensitivity in terms of output voltage to input energy was reasonably linear, although its response depended somewhat on the gap separation. The long-term stability of the system was measured, and the system response was studied for threshold optical signals. The calorimeter was used to calibrate a spectrometer, that allowed the spark discharge to be measured in the visible and infrared regions. The optical signal collecting system was provided with a further calibration and alignment by means of a set of light emitting diodes. The calorimeter detectivity was D=4.3/spl times/10/sup 7/ V.J/sup -1/ and its detection limit 2.3/spl times/10/sup -13/ J. The system's response to the IEC standard human-body-model circuit was consistent with the measurements of the system's detectivity.","PeriodicalId":125787,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1999 IEEE Industry Applications Conference.

The speed range for such machine drives is limited to about 1:100 in industry. The main reason for this limitation is inaccuracy of stator voltage regulation. The lower the motor speed becomes, the lower the stator voltage becomes. Therefore, it is difficult to regulate or measure the stator voltage precisely at low speed, and difficult to control motor speed and motor torque precisely. The authors have proposed a method of improving the low speed performance of sensorless vector controlled induction machine drives by offset compensation of the stator voltage. However, the method needs a lot of time to estimate the DC offset value included in the measured stator voltage. In this paper, a modified offset compensation algorithm is proposed. The newly proposed method needs only a few cycles to estimate it.","PeriodicalId":125787,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1999 IEEE Industry Applications Conference.

Once the formulation chemistry of a powder is finalized, it becomes necessary to adjust the physical parameters of the powder and the application engineering processes for best appearance and highest transfer efficiency (TE). In this paper, theoretical aspects and experimental data are provided on the effect of ion current density on the charging of particles, TE, and appearance of the cured film. The onset of back corona as a function of the product of charge-to-mass ratio (Q/M) and the thickness of the powder layer on the conducting substrate are discussed. To examine the TE and appearance in the absence of free ion current, comparisons are made between the performance of corona charging and tribo charging guns.","PeriodicalId":125787,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1999 IEEE Industry Applications Conference.

This paper presents the aspects to be considered in building an energy storage system based on double-layer capacitors, especially those factors that may affect the voltage sharing among capacitors. Furthermore, the paper presents the experimental results from a 400 kW sec energy storage system built with 100 double-layer capacitors connected in series.","PeriodicalId":125787,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1999 IEEE Industry Applications Conference.

As systems become larger and more interconnected, these existing methods can become computationally bound and limited in their ability to assess the impact of unreliable protective equipment and unreliable protection-coordination schemes on individual load point reliability indices within a given plant configuration. These methods also often cannot account for complex isolation and restoration procedures within an industrial plant configuration. This paper presents a zone branch methodology that overcomes many of these limitations and applies the methodology to a large industrial plant power system configuration. The primary advantage of the zone branch methodology is that it can readily identify faulty protection schemes involving all the components of an industrial power system and evaluate load point reliability indices.","PeriodicalId":125787,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1999 IEEE Industry Applications Conference.
