Ship electrical equipment shall only be connected to shore supplies that are able to maintain harbor distribution system voltage quality. Voltage drop, which is produced by the possible loading conditions of a ship when connected to a shore supply, may result in unsatisfactory operation of, and damage to, electrical and electronic equipment on board and thus, must be considered in the harbor distribution system design in order to comply with the requirements of international standards. A simple and fast method able to estimate the expected magnitude of voltage drops and provide information about the effectiveness of the various mitigation methods is essential. This paper presents the methodology and results for evaluation of the voltage drops of a practical harbor electrical distribution system with high voltage shore connection (HVSC). The potential voltage drops of the implemented HVSC are quantified using standard analytical formulas. Sensitivity analysis is performed to determine the critical parameters that significantly affect voltage drops. The parameters that have great improvement benefits should have high priority for implementation in other distribution systems with HVSC. The results obtained in this paper can provide engineers with useful information regarding the actual magnitude of voltage drops, as well as on the effectiveness of mitigation options for voltage drops, which would greatly enhance HV shore supply quality.","PeriodicalId":306377,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"323 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":"130275193","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}

To generate a sinusoidal charging current, the switching frequency of the series-resonant converter is less than half of the resonant frequency. Thus, the series-resonant converter is operated in discontinuous current mode (DCM) to achieve the zero-current-switching (ZCS) condition. As a result, high energy conversion is ensured. Novel sinusoidal charging topologies with a simple structure, low cost, easy control, and high efficiency are presented for the battery energy storage systems (BESSs) of LEVs. The operating principles and design procedure of the novel sinusoidal charger circuits will be analyzed in detail. The optimal properties of the resonant components are derived from the novel sinusoidal charger circuit configuration. Simulation and experimental results are obtained for a laboratory prototype and demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed strategy. Finally, prototypes of the novel sinusoidal charger circuit that is designed for LEVs with a 48V-12Ah lead-acid BESS are constructed and tested to confirm the theoretical predictions. The maximum charging efficiency of the charging period is 95.95%. Experimental results reveal the satisfactory performance of the novel high-frequency sine-wave charging strategy, which is particular appropriate for BESSs in LEVs.","PeriodicalId":306377,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"66 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":"129329869","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 state observer and controllers were tested for varying wind conditions using a full order dynamic model of DFIG with a real-time simulation platform. The results verify that the proposed state observer can augment existing control for DFIG with better tracking of the system output without the need for feedback measurements, and at the same time it can reduce the controller design complexity. Also, these state estimator based controllers eliminate the need of rotor current sensors for DFIG control.","PeriodicalId":306377,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"331 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":"116534983","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 optimal decentralized PI controller accounts for the dynamic coupling among the areas of the microgrid without any communication links required among the PI controllers, and hence improves the frequency control performance as compared to a set of optimal linear-quadratic Gaussian (LQG) integral controllers of eighth order which are designed independently.

Strategic implementation of cost-effective reliability centered maintenance (RCM) approaches seems to be a key solution. This paper proposes an efficient method to assess the component criticality for the system overall reliability and further maintenance focuses. A solution concept of game theory, called Shapely Value, that is able to fairly identify the contribution of each single equipment to the system reliability performance once a high-order contingency occurs is proposed. The suggested framework would help in realizing where investments to be made in the grid to keep a desirable system performance from the reliability standpoint.

The resultant current, present at the receiver, is detected as a voltage and communication is established. The electrode-based TTE system may achieve a considerably large transmission range >305 m (1000 ft). This kind of system may be implemented for emergency communication close to an area such as a refuge alternative or other strategic location to establish communication between underground miners and the surface. Since it does not rely on extensive infrastructure underground, this communication would provide an alternate path out of the mine. Given the attenuation characteristics of the earth-which is the major factor determining the performance of TTE systems-the receiver sensitivity, transmitter antenna length and orientation, working frequency, and transmitted current required for communication can be estimated and determined. In an effort to estimate the earth attenuation, the analytic solution for the electrical field distribution of an electrode-based TTE communication system in a homogenous half-space is derived. A prototype system was built and tested at a mine site. The test data is compared with the modeling results, and a close agreement is found between them.","PeriodicalId":306377,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"2 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":"122361349","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}
