At the same time, the optimal number of poles for maximum magnetic flux density does not correspond to the optimal number of poles obtaining for the maximum electromagnetic torque. This fact excludes the possibility of optimizing the dimensions of the motor according to the criterion of the maximum magnetic flux density in the airgap with save the maximum value of electromagnetic torque. Thus, the number of pole pairs for the different dimensions of the motors must be chosen from the conditions for finding the maximum electromagnetic torque.","PeriodicalId":317349,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 60th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)","volume":"142 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116351385","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}

EU has come up with Clean Energy Package in 2017, part of which is energy in buildings. Thus, member states are tightening their building energy consumption regulations. Under Estonian regulation of energy performance in buildings, heat pumps have been preferred over district heating for heat supply. According to a building model, the regulation is based on, those would reduce overall energy consumption and deliver significantly lower energy performance values. This study main aim is to check those assumptions used based on actual metered energy consumption data of apartment buildings recently renovated with on-site heat pumps. During the analysis it has been found out that insulation of buildings reduces heat consumption in average by 22% compared to the situation before renovation. However, heat purchase from DH network drops in average by 69% as on-site heat pump produces 61% of reduced heat demand from purchased power. Even considering additional power used in heat pump with its weight factor, energy performance of buildings is improved significantly. However, carbon footprint of buildings rises as power generation in Estonia is dominated by fossil fuels while district heating has over 50% share of renewables. Risk of increased carbon emissions is clearly not the intention of the regulation. To correct that misbehaviour, the regulation was updated in 2019. Analysis of the update shows that it does not fully rectify the situation as there are still 25% of cases when heat pumps still post better energy performance than renewable DH.","PeriodicalId":317349,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 60th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130240973","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 share of wind power in energy production increases year by year, which meets the need to protect the environment. Possibility of conducting, not only computer simulation, but also laboratory studies of wind turbine operation and impact on the power system and other power devices in laboratory conditions would be very useful. This article presents a method of performing real-time hybrid model of a wind turbine. The advantage of a hybrid model is the combination of the possibilities and flexibility of simulation of aerodynamic and mechanical phenomena with the electric machine, which is seen from the point of view of the grid as a real wind turbine. The originality of the presented approach is using a real-time digital model to control a power device connected to the grid. Real-time simulation is performed of aerodynamic phenomena and conversion of wind energy for a mechanical moment on the shaft, which controls via a converter of asynchronous motor driving a doubly-fed induction generator. The hybrid model allows testing wind turbines in transient conditions after disturbances not feasible with physical wind. The paper describes the concept and the structure of a wind turbine hybrid model. Components of a wind turbine hybrid model are described. The results of laboratory studies of the real-time hybrid model of a wind turbine are presented.","PeriodicalId":317349,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 60th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)","volume":"152 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122162629","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 converter is a part of active voltage equalization system. Each cell is galvanically isolated from the power side of the converter by means of high frequency transformer. The transformer has one primary and two secondary windings. The main secondary winding supplies synchronous voltage doubler rectifier (SVDR). By using such a rectifier, the efficiency of the converter is improved. Standard half-bridge driver is used to drive the MOSFET transistors of the synchronous rectifier. The power supply for this half-bridge driver needs to be independent. That's why auxiliary winding is needed in the secondary side of the transformer. In this work is also studied the influence of the additional secondary winding, used to supply the half-bridge driver. Experimental data of working of the single ended resonant DC-DC converter for charging of Li-Ion battery are presented.","PeriodicalId":317349,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 60th International Scientific Conference on Power and Electrical Engineering of Riga Technical University (RTUCON)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117124122","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}
