Although the alternator voltage is a sinusoidal wave form, but a huge rectifier, as a non-linear load, destroys the voltage wave form. New blowers were designed with VPI insulation, insulated bearings and large frame to protect Spike and transient voltage, shaft currents, and harmonic heating.","PeriodicalId":138236,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Power Engineering and Optimization Conference Melaka, Malaysia","volume":"223 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123956232","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}

As the initial motor fails to achieve the target performances, design parameters are set and treated by using deterministic design optimization approach.

AFPM motor is a high torque density motor which can be easily and compactly mounted into the automobile's wheel fitting the rim perfectly. A double-sided slotted AFPM motor with 6 rotor poles for high torque density and stable rotation is the preliminary design. In order to determine the design requirements, a simple vehicle dynamic model evaluating the vehicle performance considering an automobile's typical-trip cursing scenario is considered. Axial-flux permanent-magnet machine's fundamental theory and sizing equation are applied to obtain the initial design parameters of the motor with the highest possible torque. The FEA of designed motor was conducted via commercial Vector Field Opera-3D 14.0 software for evaluation and accuracy enhancement of the design parameters. FEA simulation results are compared with those results obtained from sizing equation showing a good agreement of flux density values in various parts of the designed motor at no-load condition. The motor meets all the requirements and limitations of the electric vehicle fitting the shape and the size of a classical rim of the vehicle wheel.","PeriodicalId":138236,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Power Engineering and Optimization Conference Melaka, Malaysia","volume":"27 1-2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123576094","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}

Transmission loss can be reduced by installing reactive power compensation components. Installing the thyristor controlled series compensator (TCSC) in power system has been known to increase the voltage level in the system and hence reduce the system losses. This paper describes placement and sizing of FACTS devices based on Particle Swarm Optimization for minimization of transmission loss considering voltage profile and cost function. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is one of the artificial intelligent search approaches which have the potential in solving such a problem. In this study one of FACTS device is used as a scheme for transmission loss. For this study, TCSC is chosen as the compensation device. Validation through the implementation on the IEEE 30-bus system indicated that PSO is feasible to achieve the task. The simulation results are compared with those obtained from the Evolutionary Programming (EP) technique in the attempt to highlight its merit.","PeriodicalId":138236,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Power Engineering and Optimization Conference Melaka, Malaysia","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132337165","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}

To determine the size and location of a single DG unit, a heuristic method based on sensitivity analysis and quadratic curve fitting technique has been proposed. Another heuristic technique based on a loss improvement index has been introduced for allocation of multiple DG units. These studies are carried out using two IEEE test distribution systems which are multi-phase and unbalanced in nature. This analysis shows that the use of appropriate size and location of DG reduces total power loss in a distribution system significantly and hence improve the steady-state voltage profile. Methodologies described in this paper gives the distribution system planner an idea about the size and location DG unit which would be the most beneficial in terms of system efficiency and stability.","PeriodicalId":138236,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Power Engineering and Optimization Conference Melaka, Malaysia","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132528491","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 field, lightning strikes and cable faults may cause problem due to transformer core and winding. SFRA diagnosis is made based on the comparison between two SFRA responses and any significant difference in low, middle and high frequency sub-bands region would potentially indicate mechanical or electrical problem due to core and winding of transformer. Instead of using graphical comparison, statistical techniques such as Cross-correlation Coefficient Function (CCF), Standard Deviation (SD) and Absolute Sum of Logarithmic Error (ASLE) can be used to interpret the SFRA results in a proper way. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the condition of TNB distribution transformer by using SFRA method in line with the interpretation from the statistical techniques.","PeriodicalId":138236,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Power Engineering and Optimization Conference Melaka, Malaysia","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129835333","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}

Simulink/MATLAB is used as the simulation tool for analysis. Detailed investigation of the speed response characteristics under speed command change, load disturbance, steady state stability and dynamic response is performed based on these two schemes. The results reveal that both methods have good capabilities of independently controlling the two motors. Comparison of these methods show that, DZS method has better speed and torque ripple disturbance performance at half rated speed while TAM have better performance at lower rated speed. Further analysis for the same speed demand shows that TAM has better capability for a higher same speed operation range.","PeriodicalId":138236,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Power Engineering and Optimization Conference Melaka, Malaysia","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128182354","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}

Dynamic Parity Space Approach was studied for a discrete state-space model. Important data will be extracted using this approach especially for residual generation which is the backbones of FDI analysis. Subsequently, at each time instant k, the generated residuals will form a matrix that will define the fault signature.
