An advanced model predictive current control is proposed to solve the problem of system noise amplification in the differential link caused by the current slope calculation in the back electromotive force model (EFM). The predictive model includes the sliding mode feedbacks which are employed to observe the real-time rotor speed and flux linkage. Besides, the feedback gains satisfy the Lyapunov's law of stability.

Timely detection of minor faults and early warning are conducive to the safe operation of units. With the large-scale deep variable load of units, the operating conditions of auxiliary equipment also change in a large range, and the operating parameters fluctuate in a large range, which directly affects the accuracy of fault early warning algorithm based on operation data. In order to solve this problem, this paper uses a multivariate state estimation technique (MSET) algorithm for fault early warning. Firstly, the cluster method is used to divide the operating conditions of units, and process memory matrix is constructed under different operating conditions for modeling and calculation. The simulation results show that compared with the traditional method using one process memory matrix this method significantly improves the accuracy of fault early warning.","PeriodicalId":427328,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Power and Energy Applications (ICPEA)","volume":"90 11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126025637","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}

Coal was initially divided in two different bunkers based on its quality. The big bunker was filled with LRC and the smaller one was filled with MRC. To observe further impact on boiler performance, four different flow ratio percentages were set up through the coal feeder. We found that increasing the MRC ratio contributed to the rising furnace bed and inlet cyclone temperature. This also positively affected the boiler efficiency with the highest value of 86.77 % with full of MRC. However, the co-combustion caused drawbacks due to inhomogeneous temperature distribution within those furnaces. The average bed temperature ranged from 974 0C to 1,000 0C.

To utilize the full potential of SiC MOSFET and suppress the switching ringing as much as possible, this paper investigates the causes of switching ringing and proposes some suppression methods. Common suppression methods include increasing gate drive resistance, gate source shunt capacitance, and gate reverse turn-off voltage.
