This recently proposed theory, introduces the concept of complex power conservation under non-sinusoidal conditions. Moreover, the related current decompositions results in several current terms, which are associated with a specific physical phenomena (power absorption P, energy storage Q, voltage and current distortion D). Such current components are used in this work for the definition of different current compensators, which can be selective in terms of minimizing particular disturbing effects. The choice of one or other current component for compensation directly affects the sizing and cost of active and/or passive devices and it will be demonstrated that it can be done to attend predefined limits for harmonic distortion, unbalances and/or power factor. Single and three-phase compensation strategies will be discussed by means of the CPT framework. Simulation and experimental results will be demonstrated in order to validate their performance.","PeriodicalId":183864,"journal":{"name":"2009 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125761926","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}

These devices have high luminous efficacy, long useful life, small size and they are resistant to vibrations. Besides, they are supplied with low voltage and current values and they do not need ignition process. These features make these devices attractive to use in emergency lighting. The proposed circuit is simple and has low cost. Its main characteristic is the easiness of installation simply replacing incandescent and compact fluorescent lamps with a LED lamp. The proposed circuit supplies the LEDs in two ways. First, by mains (220VAC) using a circuit called voltage regulator in DC. Another way, in the emergency mode, the circuit supplies the LED using a Ni-MH battery without the need of converter. The Brazilian standard (NBR 10898) and IEEE standard (IEEE Std 446–1995) for emergency lighting systems are attended by the topology.

Additionally, these equipments are being designed to give them the maximum efficiency as the energy cost is continuously increasing. With this in mind, some results related to a particular switched reluctance motor, are presented. The airgap between its poles are distributed in such a way that they are parallel to the rotation axis. Such structure is little studied by researchers. On the other hand, in order to maintain a low ripple torque, a particular algorithm is proposed which consists in imposing motor currents with a special format. The implementation of this strategy was made using two microcontrollers, one to determine the position and speed of the rotor while the second impose the appropriated current to the motor windings. This strategy has been successfully tested to control the speed of the rotor in a simple feedback loop.","PeriodicalId":183864,"journal":{"name":"2009 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference","volume":"283 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131667565","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}
