The IPMSM uses a v-shaped magnet arrangement on the rotor and is optimized to provide constant power over a speed range up to eight times rated speed. The circuit uses an inverter connected to a DC supply (the main bridge) and a floating DC link (the floating bridge). Applying this circuit the theoretical constant power region can be extended to above 11 times the base speed. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is employed to evaluate the machine performance and its different parameters with the dual inverter structure. Loss analysis and Efficiency analysis show the promising performance of the designed machine in single and dual inverter drive in wide range of operational speeds.","PeriodicalId":377110,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 24th International Symposium on Industrial Electronics (ISIE)","volume":"267 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130759428","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}

Due to the actual intra-operative bedding of the patient which results in a tissue shift compared to the pre-operative imaging, a suitable navigation procedure is required. The detection of the bedding-caused tissue shift is essential for a safe orientation for the surgeons to establish new endoscopic operation procedures. In this work an ultrasound-based navigation procedure for the head-neck-surgery is proposed. A prototype was implemented, which is using the Plus toolkit and integrated into the OP:Sense robotic setup. Experiments on a custom, flexible neck-model were performed. A robotic ultrasound tomography using the navigation system prototype was integrated into OP:Sense. The setup was used to scan bones in water bathes and human arms and create 3D volumes. The overall achieved accuracy was <; 5 mm.","PeriodicalId":377110,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 24th International Symposium on Industrial Electronics (ISIE)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127943274","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 distributed version of the remote laboratory requires the experimental rigs to be designed by individuals thus making it difficult to obtain formal models of the experimental rigs. A rig consists of a micro-controller unit with multiple ports to connect sensors and actuators. This paper proposes a timed automaton based model of experimental rigs that can be common to all sites. Further, the relationship of components of a rig is analyzed based upon this automaton. The components can be grouped into multiple sets where each set has two properties - the bond between each component in the rig and how frequently they are accessed. A method to obtain the component sets and to determine these two characteristics using data clustering is described.","PeriodicalId":377110,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 24th International Symposium on Industrial Electronics (ISIE)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131689251","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 is mainly due to the convincing revolution in power electronic technology and the growing concern about greenhouse effect that is intensified due to the burning of fossil fuels. Variable-speed wind energy conversion systems (WECSs) such as doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs) are dominating the wind energy market due to their superior advantages over fixed-speed-based WECS which include more captured energy, less mechanical stress, and acoustical noise. DFIG is interfaced to the ac network through the grid-side voltage source converter (GSC) and rotor-side RSC to enable the variable-speed operation of the wind turbine and to provide reactive power support to the ac grid during disturbance events. Converter switching malfunction such as fire-through may influence the power dispatch capability of the DFIG. In this paper, a coil is proposed to be integrated within the DFIG converters to improve dynamic performance of DFIG-based WECS during internal converter switching malfunctions such as fire-through fault. Simulation results without and with the coil connected to the system are presented.","PeriodicalId":377110,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 24th International Symposium on Industrial Electronics (ISIE)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122237884","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}

On the other hand, recent applications of these converters require fast transients in response to disturbances, such as sudden variations of load power, reference voltage and input voltage. Better performance can be obtained adding a feedforward action to the traditional control scheme, using observers to estimate the input voltage and the output current. However, the actual improvement depends on the dynamic performance of the chosen observers. This paper aims at evaluating the applicability and the performance of different classes of observers within the control scheme of a PFC boost converter. Several simulations are performed to identify the observer that exhibits the best dynamic performance. Then, the chosen technique is applied to a laboratory prototype of a PFC boost converter and the experimental results are discussed.","PeriodicalId":377110,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 24th International Symposium on Industrial Electronics (ISIE)","volume":"60 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120915277","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 primary objective of UTD for DIPO converters is to periodically spend equal time in processing maximum power from each of distributed sources using only one MPT non-linear controller. As a result, the UTD-MPT controller sequentially provides equal time intervals of processing maximum power flow from the power sources. Conventionally, the peak values of the distributed source power are concurrently tracked through converters controlled by their own independent MPT controllers without UTD. However, when peak power voltages of distributed power sources are slowly changed as compared to the MPT's response time, such concurrent MPT control for all of the power sources is not necessary. By utilizing UTD of MPT non-linear control, maximum use of available power obtained from each distributed power source is achieved using a single MPT non-linear controller. The resulting system and control architectures offer maximum power transfer with a lower part count. A DIPO power converter bus architecture with a battery-dominated output voltage is described herein. The power and control architectures for DIPO converters are validated through computer simulation for fault-tolerant UTD MPT control.","PeriodicalId":377110,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 24th International Symposium on Industrial Electronics (ISIE)","volume":"136 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116208738","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 the new scheme we replaced the SRF-PLL used for the frequency adaptation scheme by simple samples counters. Further, we made improvements in the circuitry that performs the frequency estimation filtering. The performances of the traditional GDSC-PLL and other usual detection schemes were compared with the proposed one through transient test cases based on IEC 61000 and typical electrical events. The new approach led to a reduction of up to 79% in the phase-angle convergence time right after disturbances and a reduction of up to 65% in the mean absolute error during frequency variation.","PeriodicalId":377110,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 24th International Symposium on Industrial Electronics (ISIE)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123799242","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}
