MATLAB/Simulink is used for the simulation. The main winding stator current is used to feedback for minus with the appropriate current obtained from the multiple of the auxiliary winding stator current and the appropriate constant. Then, the error is sent to a PI Controller. The output of the PI controller will be compared with a carrier to generate PWM signals for controlling all bidirectional switches of the single-phase AC chopper. With the proposed scheme under any motor load level, the motor will always operate at the rated speed, which allows for high efficiency and energy saving. The motor energy saving is 43.97%, particularly at light load.","PeriodicalId":341348,"journal":{"name":"2012 10th International Power & Energy Conference (IPEC)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114553596","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}

TDG attached to the 61083-4 simulates digitally recorded data for typical waveforms observed in daily measurement. Any acceptable software can determine waveform parameters within a given margin specified in IEC 61083-4. Authors could successfully analyse all the a.c. waveforms generated by the TDG (Test Data Generator) using techniques, 1) FFT after an interpolation for steady a.c. and 2) curve fitting for short-term a.c.. The latter involves the least square method and a set of nonlinear equations. The distilled parameters are within the specified margins proposed in IEC 61083-4. The details of the algorithm are to be clarified in the paper. Also mentioned in the paper is a proposed TDG's controversial behaviour in which a current-zero instant is shifted due to a discrete sampling interval (note: IEC 61083-4 is presently a draft and has to be rectified on such problem).","PeriodicalId":341348,"journal":{"name":"2012 10th International Power & Energy Conference (IPEC)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122304043","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 new method is developed from the MQ-FDM [11] and called the Radial Basis Function (RBF) - FDTD method. The RBF is used to find the FD approximations of spatial and temporal derivatives. In this paper, the influence of the shape parameter of the RBF on lightning-induced voltages is also presented. In particular, with choosing the `optimal' shape parameter, the result shows that the RBF-FDTD solution is better than the FDTD solution compared with that by lightninginduced overvoltage (LIOV) code.

Its success will be heavily reliant on accurate real-time information exchange between the grid and the consumers. Customers will be expected to submit energy demand schedules to actively monitor energy price signals and participate in energy bids and respond to energy management signals in real time. This kind of smart grid-user interaction will be overwhelming and can result in consumer apathy. There is therefore a need to develop intelligent systems that will execute all these tasks without the active involvement of the consumer. This paper proposes such an approach. Demand response scheme by smart scheduling of household electrical appliances is presented. The scheduler calculates individual device hourly probabilities that it uses to automatically generate optimal schedules. An optimal schedule is considered to be the one that meets the consumer's deadlines while ensuring energy cost savings to the customer.","PeriodicalId":341348,"journal":{"name":"2012 10th International Power & Energy Conference (IPEC)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125001689","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 model is formulated as process fundamental governing equations based on the energy and mass balance, and thermodynamic principles, while some constants and some variables which vary very little as time goes on, such as cross-sectional areas, mean void fraction, the derivative of the saturation enthalpy with respect to pressure, etc., are lumped into several unknown parameters, which are obtained by identifying the experimental data using nonlinear least squares method. The method takes advantages of both physical and empirical modeling approaches and can accurately predict the transient behaviors in real-time, which can significantly reduce the computational burden. The greatest merits of this model are the order of the model is very low and all the state variables can easily be measured, which are very suitable for model based controller design. The model validation studies on an experimental system show that the complete dynamic model developed in Matlab/Simulink can well predict the system dynamics. The developed models will have wide applications not only in controller design, but also in transient behavior analysis.","PeriodicalId":341348,"journal":{"name":"2012 10th International Power & Energy Conference (IPEC)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129826086","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}
