In this paper, an 84-pulse rectifier system applied in aluminum electrolysis factories is designed according to the classic theory. An improved polygonal method is used to analyze the harmonic contents of the 84-pulse rectifier transformer system. Using this method it is easy to illustrate the cancellation of non-characteristic harmonic current components under the ideal condition and the appearance of residual harmonics current components when the operating condition changes. A model of the 84-pulse rectifier system based on PSCAD/EMTDC is built to verify the theoretical analysis. Comparisons of harmonic current generated by an 84-pulse and a 12-pulse rectifier are conducted as well as the harmonic current under different situations.","PeriodicalId":446068,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Industry Application Society Annual Meeting","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117258685","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}

Other researchers have shown that tribocharging affects the breaking torque in a metal shaft - oil-lip seal system and that an external electric field may be employed to control this phenomenon. One main issue in all these studies is the characterization of the charging state of the bodies in contact. This is quite a difficult challenge when the contact occurs between two insulating materials. The aim of the present work was to validate an experimental procedure appropriate for ensuring the reproducibility of the tribocharging conditions in sliding contacts between polymeric materials. The experiments were performed with samples of polystyrene and poly-vinyl-chloride. Surface potential measurements were done in order to evaluate the tribocharging effects. The experiments pointed out that the amount of charge accumulated on the sliding bodies depends on the external force applied to the contact and the number of tribocharging cycles (i.e., two back-and-forth relative motions). However, this charge is non-uniformly distributed on the surface of the samples. This means that it will be difficult to use tribocharging effect for controlling the charging state and hence the lubrication of the contact between two insulating bodies.","PeriodicalId":446068,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Industry Application Society Annual Meeting","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132073850","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}

It was recently estimated, that ships produce at least 15% of the world's NOx (more than all of the world's cars, buses and trucks combined), between 2.5-4% of greenhouse gases, 5% black carbon (BC), and between 3-7% of global SO2 output. Estimation of contribution of maritime shipping to global emissions of VOC and CO is not yet available. In order to reduce the environmental footprint of ships, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) recently issued the legislation of Marpol Annex VI guidelines which implies especially the introduction of, inter alia, stricter sulphur limits for marine fuel in ECAs under the revised MARPOL Annex VI, to 3.50% (from the current 4.50%), effective from 1 January 2012; then progressively to 0.50 %, effective from 1 January 2020, subject to a feasibility review to be completed no later than 2018. The limits applicable in Emission Control Zones (ECAs) for SOx and particulate matter were reduced to 1.00%, beginning on 1 July 2010 (from the original 1.50%); being further reduced to 0.10 %, effective from 1 January 2015. The Tier III controls apply only to the specified ships built from 2016 while operating in Emission Control Areas (ECA) established to limit NOx emissions, outside such areas the Tier II controls apply. The United States and Canada adopted national regulations enforcing IMO Tier III equivalent limits within the North American ECA effective 2016. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule for Category III ships, however, references the international IMO standards. If the IMO emission standards are indeed delayed, the Tier III standards would be applicable from 2016 only for US flagged vessels. One of the proposed solutions towards marine diesel emission control is the non-thermal plasma process. We designed and built a non-thermal plasma reactor (NTPR) using a combination of Microwave (MW) and Electron Beam (EB) for treatment of marine diesel exhaust gas. A numerical model has been developed to better understand the marine exhaust gas/plasma kinetics. The reactor modelling and design can sustain 10kW of combined MW and EB power with a gas flow rate of 200l/s. The removal of NOx and SOx was continuously monitored using a portable dual Testo gas analyzer system while all other parameters (MW power, EB power, gas temperature/flow rate, etc.) were remotely recorded & stored through a Labview DAQ system. The reactor performance in NOx and SOx removal will be tested on a 200 kW two stroke marine engine. This study is a part of the DEECON (Innovative After-Treatment System for Marine Diesel Engine Emission Control) FP7 European project.","PeriodicalId":446068,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Industry Application Society Annual Meeting","volume":"515 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123080741","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}

It is shown how this model mismatch is compensated by augmented state disturbances, and also how the steady state error is eliminated. In this method, an observer is designed to estimate the disturbances and states.

Compared with a traditional two-stage converter, high efficiency and high step-up voltage ratio are also accomplished in the proposed single-stage three-phase converter. In addition, the control signals are easily generated by the simple pulse width modulation (PWM) without using sinusoidal PWM. Therefore, the system cost also can be reduced.

As a result, those lamps are widely used in Indonesia. To avoid outages on the customers, a brownout strategy (voltage reduction) is sometimes used. The lamps are in this case operated at a lower voltage than their rating. The paper aims to investigate the effect on power quality of those voltage variations through a laboratory test. Value of harmonics, power factor and waveform of ESLs were analyzed. The test relates to 16 sample lamps commonly used in residential and commercial area, divided in 11 LED lamps and 5 CFLs covering different manufacturers and different power ratings. The experiment uses power meter to obtain the electrical characteristics. The supply voltage applied during testing was generated by an ideal power source without voltage harmonics to avoid effects linked to device non-linear behavior. The test results show that 4 types of LEDs and 2 types of CFLs can be identified based upon the input current waveform. However, their responses under voltage amplitude variation differ. This paper focuses on this specific electrical property, which is not readily documented. It was observed that only a few ESLs have low level of harmonic currents and high power factor, in concordance with low sensitivity to amplitude variations. Moreover, the experimental results are compared with the standard harmonic limit allowable for lighting load as per IEC 61000-3-2.","PeriodicalId":446068,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Industry Application Society Annual Meeting","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123547660","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}
