The voltage equation is obtained from the magnetic equivalent model. Since the procedure originates from the geometrical configuration of stator and rotor poles, the parameters of the voltage equation are closely related to the motor pole configuration. Therefore, the motor performance can be estimated from the voltage equation during the design stage of the motor. The control model of the motor can be easily obtained by applying a well-known d-q transformation. The validity of the proposed modeling is demonstrated by comparison between the designed and measured motor parameters and the control characteristics.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":345027,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1993 IEEE Industry Applications Conference Twenty-Eighth IAS Annual Meeting","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131612113","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 number of target areas needing attention were identified. These included the cost of electrical energy, the cost to manufacture oxygen inhouse, and the need to accommodate future modernization projects. An option also under consideration included possible elimination of the oxygen facility if lower-cost oxygen could be purchased from an independent vendor. Preliminary evaluations, plans, and reviews took approximately two years before approval was received to proceed with the main oxygen plant project. Its bidding process and implementation took an additional year. The power system modernization project, which included addition of the power monitoring system, short-circuit retrofit of the 13.8 kV switchgear, distribution transformer isolation capability and two new double-ended low voltage substations took an additional six months.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":345027,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1993 IEEE Industry Applications Conference Twenty-Eighth IAS Annual Meeting","volume":"296 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133374378","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 series of DC (both (+) and (-)) experiments was designed and conducted to examine this latter distinction. It was found that visual ionic spots on the paper surface are a dominant prebreakdown phenomenon. Local failure at one such discrete spot ultimately brings about a streamer sparkover in air at a sufficiently high potential. The variability and other characteristics of the pattern in a 2D spot distribution are described. Related experiments reveal that, with double paper layers in place, the pattern of spots becomes less dense visually and the breakdown potential depletes further, always with some mechanical agitation in accompaniment. Also noted was the existence of a sharp, well-defined dark band which clearly bridges the separate domains of single-layer and double-layer spot distributions. From this band, glow spots are excluded.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":345027,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1993 IEEE Industry Applications Conference Twenty-Eighth IAS Annual Meeting","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134457193","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 system is based on a conventional rectifier power supply with a series switch-mode ripple regulator (SMRR). It has been shown that this system offers excellent steady-state performance. A critical assessment of the dynamic performance of SMRR is presented here. Small signal dynamic models for the system are established. The function of the SMRR as a speed-up feedforward path during dynamic transients is analyzed. The regulator design criteria for the closed-loop system to achieve optimum performance are identified. The precise control of the magnet current can be achieved with several kHz regulation bandwidth and less than 10 ppm harmonic content. A systematic design procedure is outlined, and a design example is provided. Computer simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the theoretical analyses.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":345027,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1993 IEEE Industry Applications Conference Twenty-Eighth IAS Annual Meeting","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115729994","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 general topology under consideration is a double-sided, short moving-secondary/long-fixed-primary, linear induction motor (LIM). The transport system requirements place severe demands on the machinery topology. In addition to efficient thrust production, the linear machine must be capable of generating large unbalanced normal (i.e., lateral) forces in order to achieve electromagnetic (mechanically passive) steering of vehicles with both straight and curvilinear primaries. Air gap chording and short secondary effects are two additional design complications. Particular emphasis is placed on the orientation of the magnetic flux (i.e., longitudinal vs. transverse). A hybrid system topology consisting of a longitudinal-flux orientation within straight sections and a transverse-flux orientation within curvilinear sections appears to offer the best of both topologies.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":345027,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 1993 IEEE Industry Applications Conference Twenty-Eighth IAS Annual Meeting","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115035468","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}
