Recent technologies related to wind energy are mostly equipped with doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) because of its several advantages. In this paper a study on the impacts of DFIGs on large multi-machine system on aspects of small signal stability is presented. It is shown that improvement in small signal stability of a large multi machine system is location dependent. Also the optimum loading of DFIG is determined in terms of some sensitivity analysis.","PeriodicalId":158903,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Power and Energy Systems","volume":"163 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116401471","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}

They should be fabricated so that they may be endowed with superb performances of the guest filler materials, while keeping original performances of the host materials. In general, inorganic materials are excellent in optical, electrical, mechanical and thermal properties, while organic materials are superb in light weight, flexibility, and processability. Such performances for both materials can be transferred, complementarily, to nanocomposites. Furthermore, novel performances that neither of them holds by nature will possibly appear in newly fabricated nanocomposites. There are three kinds of combination as for hosts and guests, i.e. inorganic-inorganic, inorganic-organic, and organic-organic composite systems. The materials that attract most attention to-date are nanocomposites that consist of organic polymers as host and inorganic substances as guest. This field was pioneered by the successful invention of polyamide/organic clay nanocomposites in 1990's. Much attention was directed toward mechanical and optical properties in the beginning. Furthermore, recent investigation is oriented also to performances including gas barrier, lubrication, thermal endurance, heat radiation, electrical conductivity, electrical insulation, aiming at drastic changes in such performances that are expected to appear by controlling material structures in nanometer scale in self-assembly mode. Investigation of various polymer nanocomposites has been intensively made on permittivity, loss tangent, electrical conductivity, space charge, TSC, dielectric breakdown, treeing breakdown (short time breakdown and treeing V-t characteristics), partial discharge (PD) resistance, electroluminescence and any other relevant characteristics. It is now recognized that all the performances as indicated above show the superiority of nanocomposites to conventional composites and especially the improvement of PD resistance, the prolongation of treeing lifetime, and the suppression of space charge formation are most prominent among them as nanocomposites. New application innovation for power apparatus is certainly expected through polymer nanocomposites.","PeriodicalId":158903,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Power and Energy Systems","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122896464","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}

This topology employs an auxiliary circuit to achieve soft switching. The auxiliary circuit consists of a dependent voltage source, an auxiliary switch, a resonant diode, a resonant inductor and a resonant capacitor. The dependent voltage source is realized by a mutually coupled inductor. In this topology, the switching transitions of the active switch, the synchronous switch and the auxiliary switch are lossless. The design guidelines are presented and a 33 Watt converter is designed, simulated and fabricated to validate the operation of the converter. A microcontroller is used to generate the switching pulses. An improvement of 6% in efficiency is observed over traditional topologies.","PeriodicalId":158903,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Power and Energy Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129963061","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}

The current signal is processed through Wavelet transform for PQ events detection. Initially, the current is retrieved at a sampling frequency of 20 kHz and DWT is used to decompose the signals of PQ events and to extract its useful information. In the case study, the power quality disturbances are created in the grid, and proposed algorithm detects the power quality disturbances effectively within one and half cycles for 60 Hz system. Thus, a new diagnostic method based on the grid modulating signals pre-processed by Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is proposed to detect grid power quality disturbances. The system is simulated using MATLAB software and simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach under time-varying conditions.","PeriodicalId":158903,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Power and Energy Systems","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126875676","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}

It was observed that amongst different energizations, pulse energization exhibits maximum NOX removal efficiency when compared to ac and dc energizations. For a given specific energy density, wire-cylinder reactor filled with BaTiO3 pellet gives higher NOX removal efficiency when compared to reactor without pellets under both pulse and ac energization. The dc energization does not have much impact on the removal processes.

Therefore, many methods have been studied in order to detect water tree at the early stages. The loss current analysis is one of the methods which can detect water tree, since the degradation of CV cable by water tree gives rise to harmonics in the loss current. Many researches by simulation and experiment have been carried out for the purpose of the elucidation of the mechanism of the harmonics in the loss current generation. In the present study, a polyethylene sample where water tree was generated was replaced by the equivalent circuit composed of a lot of resistance, capacitor and voltage dependent resistance. These elements were united like the network. It will be possible to consider not only length of water tree but also shape of water tree by this method. From the simulation results, it has been understood that the characteristics of loss current vary greatly depending on not only the length of water tree but also the shape of water tree.","PeriodicalId":158903,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Power and Energy Systems","volume":"254 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121892773","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}
