Polarity detection of the magnetic pole can be also determined simultaneously with position estimation, making extra signals for polarity detection unnecessary.

This paper deals with an effective analysis of a PM type TFLM by coupling 2-dimensionaI finite element method (2D FEM) on 3D equivalent magnetic circuit network method (EMCN). 2D analysis by FEM is used to find so-called multipleratio, which is multiplied by 3D analysis results, and 3D EMCN is employed in magnetic field analysis to get the static thrust and parameters for system assessment such as flux linkage, coenergy, apparent inductance, and incremental inductance.

The consequence becomes more severe when the disturbance input is time-correlated, hence non-white. Run out table (ROT) cooling is a complex multistage process with inherent long time delay. This intrinsic characteristic of such extensive time lag, which triggers time-correlation, makes the run out table cooling process attractive to investigate stochastic optimization methods for tracking the temperature trajectory along its stages. The merit of this approach is demonstrated by simulation experiments. The results show the state propagation and robust tracking performance in the presence of stochastic time-correlated disturbance inputs.","PeriodicalId":131410,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2004 IEEE Industry Applications Conference, 2004. 39th IAS Annual Meeting.","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128187466","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}

A total charge of each powder was measured before and after it passed through the pipe. The ESVM was measuring the voltage induced by charges carried by the flux of solid particles and by the charges generated on the tube.

A numerical example involving a high voltage cable located in a cooling pipe is presented to show the effect of the natural and forced convection in the pipe on the ampacity of the cable circuit. In this practical example, the ampacity of the cable can be increased considerably, even for great cooling section lengths.","PeriodicalId":131410,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2004 IEEE Industry Applications Conference, 2004. 39th IAS Annual Meeting.","volume":"240 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122919152","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}
