Conventionally, Silicon (Si) switches are used in these converters, but the usage of evolving Silicon Carbide (SiC) switches can enhance their performance. This paper investigates the impact of SiC switches on the performance of the three-level MMC and NPC converter for the medium voltage (MV) Photovoltaic system. The detailed analysis of loss distribution in the switching devices and the impact of SiC switch on the achievable converter rating is given. The obtained results for conduction and switching losses are compared for both the converters. Finally, from the obtained results, conclusions are made for the selection of devices and the converter for a given rating. The analysis is done by first obtaining the device parameters using the simulation of detailed device models using the circuit simulator and then using them to get the equations for the device losses. These equations are then incorporated into the system level simulations of both of the converters to evaluate losses.","PeriodicalId":376719,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114475616","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}

In head-tracking systems, increasing the delay time between head and stimulus movements degrades the depth perception from the monocular motion parallax. Based on this result, we hypothesized that the visual information at the time of the changing direction plays a critical role in the depth perception in motion parallax because the delay is especially noticeable at this timing. To test this hypothesis, we evaluated depth perception from monocular motion parallax under conditions with and without displaying a visual stimulus at the time of the motion direction change. Our experiment clarified that stable and unambiguous depth can be perceived by displaying the change of the stimulus motion direction. We also demonstrated the importance of changing the motion direction itself rather than the temporal stopping sandwiched by the deceleration and the acceleration of the stimulus motion.","PeriodicalId":376719,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126807610","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 avoid thermal overload, the NEMA MG1-2014 and the IEC 60034–26 standards establish derating factors for IMs operating under those conditions. In this paper, we show that while the derating factors proposed by these standards adequately protect standard-efficiency IMs, they are only marginally adequate to protect modern higher-efficiency IMs. To this end, we compare the derating factors provided by the standards with the derating factors required to maintain the losses at rated values in a standard-efficiency IM, in a premium-efficiency IM and in a super-premium-efficiency IM. To extrapolate the results from these IM, we compared the nameplate data of 548 IMs of different efficiency classes and found that higher efficiency classes correlate to higher IM starting currents and lower impedances to the negative sequence and harmonic voltages. These lower impedances in turn may lead to higher losses for unbalanced and harmonic voltages conditions.","PeriodicalId":376719,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129101909","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 effects of the following DBD parameters were studied: the amplitude and the frequency of the applied high voltage, the thickness of the dielectric barrier, the distance between the electrodes of the reactor as well as the speed of the conveyor that was used for the transfer of the granular materials though the non-thermal plasma zone. The study was carried out on mm-size Polyethylene particles. It was found that the charge of DBD treated particles increases with the applied high voltage and decrease with the speed of the conveyor. Both the distance between the electrodes and the thickness of the dielectric barrier have a remarkable effect on the charge acquired after DBD treatment. Within the experimental domain of this study, the frequency of the high voltage does not significantly affect the efficiency of the tribocharging process.","PeriodicalId":376719,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123616283","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 problem is generally nonconvex and difficult to calculate in the real-time scenarios. This paper will introduce a fully distributed approach by combining the alternating direction method of multipliers and proximal alternating minimization method. This approach contains two parts, one is a basic distributed algorithm for the offline scheduling with constant network data. The another extended one is by using the short-term load forecast as its initial input, then when the real-time data is given, the solution of OPF problem can get converged faster than the basic algorithm. Both algorithms aim to provide a high feasible solution for the realtime grid operation. These algorithms are simulated on test network with batteries to analyze their performance and the effect of the changes in the parameters in these algorithms.","PeriodicalId":376719,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127672228","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}

Very high system charging current of a mining power system poses design concern of meeting the MSHA requirements, “ground-fault current shall be limited by a neutral grounding resistor (NGR) to 3.75A and associated ground fault protection relay shall be set at 40% of the NGR rating when power system nominal voltage exceeds 2.4 kV”. This paper is based upon a published paper with very high system charging current of 68.2A. The previous authors have correctly identified the problems of meeting MSHA requirements; NGR rating and ground fault relay settings. This paper recommends a voltage polarized ground fault current relay that can be set to meet MSHA requirements even if the NGR rating does not meet MSHA requirements. Such a relay identifies forward direction and reverse direction of ground fault current during phase-ground fault condition. The ground fault current flow in the three-line diagram indicates that the faulted feeder relay senses higher ground fault current whereas the parallel feeders and the neutral relay senses less current to cause delayed tripping of NGR relay and parallel feeders relays to improve power system reliability. Per NEC (NFPA 70) code requirement, a movable equipment enclosure grounding to keep voltage less than 100V across the grounding conductor is included. For the underground mine medium-voltage (MV) feeders; the practice of using an integrated continuous monitored ground check wire (with the phase conductors) is explained.","PeriodicalId":376719,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125956096","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}
