The method requires an intermittent injection of a voltage pulse in the d-axis of the motor while the q-current is kept zero. The slope of the resulted d-current response reflects a given saturation level of the machine stator steel core which is distinctive for a given magnet temperature. Since this is a strongly non-linear relationship, a look-up-table (LUT) for the motor is required. In order to capture correctly the current derivative, a synchronous oversampling of the d-current along the voltage pulse duration is required. The paper demonstrates a suitable hardware setup and software integration of the method into a common field oriented space vector control.","PeriodicalId":243822,"journal":{"name":"2012 Electrical Systems for Aircraft, Railway and Ship Propulsion","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122050797","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}

Thus, in order to alleviate the problems associated with the introduction of high speed trains (contact, abrasion, excessive oscillations of the catenary, etc.), active control of the pantograph can be introduced. In collaboration, ESIEE-Amiens and the University of Florence have been working on the evaluation and modeling of the catenary-pantograph contact, including intensive work regarding the definition and tuning of several control strategies for an active pantograph. In particular, ESIEE-Amiens has provided its OPAL-RT real time architecture with an implemented catenary model [1] and the University of Florence has provided its expertise on active control strategies of pantographs [2].","PeriodicalId":243822,"journal":{"name":"2012 Electrical Systems for Aircraft, Railway and Ship Propulsion","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124948931","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}

Specific focus is given to photo-electric harvesting as a primary energy source, power architectures and energy audits for life support, propulsion and ancillary loads to support the continuous daily operation of the primary airship (cruiser) at stratospheric altitudes (~15km). This concept is substantially different to those of conventional aircraft due to the airship size and the inherent requirement to harvest and store sufficient energy during “daylight” operation to guarantee safe operation during “dark hours”. The study also considers the integration of photo voltaics with various electrical architectures, in a safety critical environment.","PeriodicalId":243822,"journal":{"name":"2012 Electrical Systems for Aircraft, Railway and Ship Propulsion","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128785577","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}

Assuming the accurate description of the unbalance in the network voltages, namely by the accurate decomposition in the positive and negative sequence synchronous reference frame, the generated currents are also decoupled into two parts and separately controlled. For the proper cancellation of the oscillation in the power taken from the network, the unbalance in the voltages is taken into account in the calculation of the four current references. Results show that the DC-link voltage show no second harmonic component and is able to operate with weak networks under voltage unbalance.","PeriodicalId":243822,"journal":{"name":"2012 Electrical Systems for Aircraft, Railway and Ship Propulsion","volume":"163 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124567556","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}
