In magnetic stimulation both of these contributions are significant. A passive cable model describes the response of the nerve fiber to this induced electric field. Once the coil's position, orientation and shape are given, and the resistance, capacitance and the initial voltage of the stimulating circuit are specified, the resulting transmembrane potential of the fiber is calculated as a function of distance and time.","PeriodicalId":244464,"journal":{"name":"2008 11th International Conference on Optimization of Electrical and Electronic Equipment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132708354","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 paper describes the high frequency signal injection based technique for control of surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor. Due to the fact that it does not use the fundamental machine model, which fails at standstill it is possible to control the speed and position of the machine even at low speeds. The observer tracks the saliency that exists in the machine and based on that calculates the speed and position. High frequency signals are injected in machine's stationary axis and demodulation of responding H.F currents gives speed and position, which is independent of machine parameters. So this technique is independent on machine parameters and easily adaptable to different machines. As only the high frequency currents are processed for the speed and position estimation no extra hardware circuitry is required besides that for vector control scheme of AC drives. Vector control of speed and position was carried out on a single fixed point DSP processor TMS320F2811.","PeriodicalId":244464,"journal":{"name":"2008 11th International Conference on Optimization of Electrical and Electronic Equipment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123333474","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 paper proposes the integration of a VRB system with a typical stand-alone wind energy system during wind speed variation as well as transient performance under variable load. The investigated system consists of a variable speed wind turbine with permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG), diode rectifier bridge, buck-boost converter, bidirectional charge controller, transformer, inverter, ac loads and VRB (to store a surplus of wind energy and to supply power during a wind power shortage). The main purpose is to supply domestic appliances through a single phase 230 V, 50 Hz inverter.
