Oscillograms describing the spatial development of streamers from helical and straight wires are recorded under fast, high-voltage pulses. These streamers proceed from the discharge wire (helical or straight) toward the outer cylinder. This is done to understand the role played by helical wires in improving the conversion efficiency of zone generators. A parametric study is carried out to investigate how the I-V characteristics and the streamer oscillograms are influenced by the pitch of the discharge wire as well as by the diameter of the outer cylinder. The results are discussed and correlated with the discharge physics.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":274766,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1988 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114868920","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 equivalent linear time-invariant circuit is obtained by substituting switches with equivalent turn-ratio variable transformers and changing balanced AC reactors into equivalent DC reactors combined by gyrators. This circuit allows the utilization of power linear system analysis techniques such as Laplace transforms, which otherwise could not be applied to time-varying switching systems. The modeling procedure is shown for a controlled rectifier-inverter circuit. An analysis example is given for a buck-boost inverter, and the result is compared with that of the conventional approach. This approach is applicable to all AC converter families to determine the AC transfer function and the DC operating points. It is determined that the switching systems are equivalent to RLC filter circuits with transformers and gyrators.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":274766,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1988 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125034971","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 converter uses bipolar transistor devices whose base drive logic is such that the device has properties dual to those of a thyristor. The control strategy for the converter is based on maintaining a constant conduction angle for the transistors in a closed-loop mode of operation. The authors give details of the theoretical characteristics of a DC-to-DC converter using the SRC under a constant-transistor-conduction mode of operation. Results obtained from an experimental converter confirm the validity of the theoretical results and show improved dynamic performance of the converter during transients.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":274766,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1988 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121741862","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}

With the solid modeling approach, simple solid primitives are constructed by sweeping or revolving two-dimensional cross sections entered into the computer using a graphic sketch-pad and mouse. The solid primitives are then manipulated using the Boolean operations of union, intersection, and subtraction to produce complex solids. Once the problem geometry is entered, Delaunay tesselation is used to generate automatically a tetrahedral mesh that is ideal for finite-element analysis. The combination of solid modeling with Delaunay tesselation provides an extremely powerful and convenient user interface for finite-element analysis of electrostatic fields in three dimensions.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":274766,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1988 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123965928","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 converter model has been revised to accurately simulate a twelve-pulse parallel-connected converter station with inversion capability. A model and algorithm to simulate the operation of wayside braking resistors called automatic assured receptivity units (AARUs), is developed. The revised program, QENS, retains the separate AC and DC networks and uses a sequential method to obtain convergence of both networks while simultaneously satisfying the converter voltage and power constraints. Several simulation case studies are examined that are based on typical Vancouver operating scenarios. Performance comparisons between six and twelve-pulse converters are made, and the effects of regenerative braking into a nonreceptive power system are investigated. The Gauss-Seidel method used in the algorithm provides QENS with good convergence characteristics and consistently yields accurate solutions in a reasonable amount of CPU time.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":274766,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1988 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"540 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124267161","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}
