voltage fluctuation is one of the important types of power quality aspects originated from heavy fluctuating loads. this phenomenon can influence the behavior of induction motors, produce excessive vibration and increase the ohmic losses. in this paper a simplified model to evaluate the electrical characteristics of three phase induction motors under voltage fluctuation conditions will be prese...

The paper presents the principles of the decoupling control of the phase voltage in the Switched Reluctance motor drive for the direct-drive joint of the robot. The motor drive system elements, such as the structure of the three-phase 6/10 structure Switched Reluctance motor and the rotor position, the main circuit topology of the three-phase bifilar winding power converter and the pulse width ...

Active power filter (APF) using novel virtual line-flux-linkage oriented control strategy can not only realizes no phase-locked-loop (PLL) control, but also achieves a good inhibitory effect to interfere. However, there are some problems in the conventional method, such as the error of amplitude, the shift of phase angle and the non-determinacy of initial oriented angle. In this paper, two one-...

Single Phase AC motors continue to be the primary solution for air-movement, pumping and compressor applications. Their low cost and availability make them ideal for lowperformance systems. DC Brushless platforms attempt to address these applications but their higher cost and complexity continue to form impenetrable barriers of entry. They are viewed as overkill for most applications. Single-Ph...

Head direction cells encode an animal's heading in the horizontal plane. However, it is not clear why the directionality of a cell's mean firing rate differs for clockwise, compared with counterclockwise, head turns (this difference is known as the "separation angle") in anterior thalamus. Here we investigated in freely behaving rats whether intrinsic neuronal firing properties are linked to th...

This paper proposes an analytical approach to derive voltage gain for phase modulated (PM) dc-dc series resonant converter (SRC) operating in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). Conventional fundamental harmonic approximation (FHA) technique is extended for non-ideal series resonant tank. The DCM analysis is presented in a normalized form defining appropriate base quantities. The converter is ...

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ETIR) of a ferroelectric liquid-ciystalline material: 4-(3)-(S>methy1-2..(S) chloropentanoyloxy-4'-octyloxy-biphenyl has been investigated in the wavenumber range 450-4000 cm for various temperatures and as a function of direct bias voltage in its SmC* phase. Samples prepared in both homeotropic and homogeneous alignments have been studied. The order par...

In developing countries, a pressure associated with economical and environmental constraints has forced the power utilities to meet the future demand by fully utilizing the existing resource of transmission facilities without building new lines. Flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) devices are used to control the phase angle, voltage and impedance of high voltage AC lines. ...

A new type of single-phase stand-alone induction generator using a three-phase induction machine and a single-phase voltage-source PWM inverter is introduced. The generator scheme is capable of producing constant load frequency with a very well regulated output voltage. A small lead acid battery and a single-phase full diode-bridge rectifier are used to feed the inverter. The inverter feeds one...
