In this paper a multi-layer optimal chiller operation management framework is proposed to operate various chiller units to meet the system cooling load while reduce the system operation cost. The first layer is the day-ahead 24-hour chiller operation planning layer which optimizes multiple chiller sequencing and chillers loading. The second real-time dispatching layer effectively addresses load forecasting uncertainties in real-time. The load uncertainty is solved hierarchically through two steps of approaches. An efficient and accurate system modeling framework for optimization is formulated with mixed-integer linear expressions to reduce the computational complexity. The effectiveness of this proposed management framework is demonstrated for an actual chiller plant operation in university campus. Simulation analyses validate that the proposed method can effectively address various levels of forecast uncertainty and reduce the operation cost.","PeriodicalId":306377,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114467925","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}

Resilience to anomalies is improving by reducing the occurrence and fast recovery from outlasting anomalies. The addition of a secondary connector, the spatial arrangement and the light bulk mass of the connectors enlighten the location of the remaining anomalies in 1 minute.

Short circuit level compatibility of systems is a problem when a ship power system is connected to a shore electrical distribution system. A method that is able to evaluate the shore-side and ship-side impedances and determine the prospective short circuit current level is essential. This paper aims at presenting a methodology for calculating the short circuit current in the shore power connection system. Two analysis models: IEC std. 61363-1 and IEC std. 60909-0 combined with IEC std. 60909-0 are developed and used in this paper for short circuit current analysis. Performance of the proposed method is validated by short circuit current calculation results gathered from several visiting ship scenarios in a practical shore power connection system. The proposed method can provide engineers with useful information about the prospective magnitude of short circuit currents, as well as on the effect of shore supply on ship power system, to assist them in ensuring short circuit level compatibility and allowing the selection and setting of protective devices.","PeriodicalId":306377,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122167232","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}

A MG model described with arbitrary number of converters is explored first. If there are more number of converters in a chosen MG, only dominant eigenvalues related to droop control are of primary interest. Therefore, constructing a reduced-order model to speed up the small-signal stability assessment becomes necessary. By extending the previous work of MG with P - f/Q - V droop control, a reduced-order model of MG with P - f/Q - V̇ droop control is investigated under mild assumptions. Such a simplified model will facilitate to compute the poles and zeros of the closed-loop systems and provide more physical insight to examine the relationship between dominant eigenvalues and each droop control gain. As the mathematical analysis of conventional P - f/Q - V droop control provides the characteristic polynomials contributed by P - f and Q - V droop controls, the P - f/Q - V̇ droop control also provides a similar characteristic polynomials contributed by P - f and Q - V̇ droop controls. These characteristic polynomials of the system helps MG operators for better tuning of each droop gain for stable operation of MG. A detailed study of actual plant model and the reduced-order plant model are investigated. Both simulation and experimental results are presented to validate the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":306377,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"38 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124094671","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 is important to reduce the damage to the back-channel region during the TFT fabrication process to achieve BCE oxide TFTs with good switching behavior. We have developed high-mobility BCE In-W-Zn-O (IWZO) TFTs using a bi-layer structure. Furthermore, SA In-Ga-Zn-O (IGZO) oxide TFTs have been developed using backside excimer laser irradiation, which selectively reduces the resistance of the IGZO film using a gate electrode as a mask.

The variations of J are created by two angles, θI and θO. The angle θI is defined to map the changes on the input side, while the angle θO is defined to map the changes on the output side of a 3φ wavelet modulated (WM) ac-dc PEC. The resolution-level MPPT is implemented for performance evaluation on a 3.6 kW PMG-based WECS when operated in grid-connection.

Failures of gearboxes contribute to a significant portion of the total failures and downtime in these machines. Gearbox fault diagnosis is an effective means to prevent catastrophic failures, improve the reliability, and reduce the downtime and maintenance cost of these machines. Vibration-based approaches have been employed in most commercially available condition monitoring systems (CMSs); while current-based approaches have received increasing attentions in the industry and academia. This paper presents a comparative study on the vibration- and current-based approaches for gearbox fault diagnosis. Theoretical analysis and experimental tests are carried out to show that: in vibration signals, ghost frequencies appear when the gearbox is healthy and disappear when a gear fault occurs; vibration signals of a faulty gearbox are modulated by shaft rotating frequencies at gear meshing frequencies (GMFs); in current signals, the fundamental frequency component is dominant when the gearbox is healthy; and current signals are modulated by gearbox characteristic frequencies at the fundamental frequency when gear faults appear.","PeriodicalId":306377,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131938636","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}
