This paper firstly adopts a fault accommodation structure, five-phase permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) with trapezoidal back-electromagnetic forces, in order to enhance the tolerance of tidal current energy conversion systems. Meanwhile, fault-tolerant control (FTC) method is proposed using multiple second-order generalized integrators (multiple SOGIs) further improve systematic to...

OBJECTIVE This article presents a systematic review of published scientific studies on the potential ecological effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) in the range of 10 MHz to 3.6 GHz (from amplitude modulation, AM, to lower band microwave, MW, EMF). METHODS Publications in English were searched in ISI Web of Knowledge and Scholar Google with no restriction on publication ...

Flashover of polluted insulators in contaminated areas is one of the most important factors influencing the operation of transmission and distribution lines and finally line outages. Therefore, it is essential to prevent and detect flashover in the insulators. Hence, utilizing the insulator status monitoring systems and predicting their functions have absorbed a lot of attention over the recent...

In this study, a novel dual permanent magnet excited vernier machine (DPMEVM) with magnets shifting in stator is proposed. Compared the conventional synchronous (PMSM), DPMEVM based on bidirectional field modulation effect can operate wider torque range. However, ripple of high because superposition generated by stator-side and rotor-side PMs. Consequently, proposed to further reduce ripple. Fi...

A novel primary consequent-pole tubular transverse-flux flux-reversal linear machine (TTFFRLM) is proposed in this paper. The permanent magnets (PMs) of the machine are located on the inner surface of the short teeth of the primary iron cores for reducing the amount of PM in long stroke drive systems, and the primary is easily manufactured. The structure and principle of this machine are analyz...

The management of chronic low back pain (CLBP) has proven very challenging in North America, as evidenced by its mounting socioeconomic burden. Choosing among available nonsurgical therapies can be overwhelming for many stakeholders, including patients, health providers, policy makers, and third-party payers. Although all parties share a common goal and wish to use limited health-care resources...

In eddy-current nondestructive evaluation, the electromagnetic field is usually excited by a probe carrying a time-harmonic current and flaw information inferred from the amplitude and phase of the probe signal. In principle, transient excitation of eddy-currents would seem to offer great advantages since the probe response contains the equivalent information of a spectrum of frequencies. This ...

Eddy-current nondestructive evaluation is commonly carried out using single frequency time harmonic excitations, but a pulsed excitation offers a simple and effective alternative. The pulse signals have been calculated for a probe coil whose current rises and falls exponentially, approximating a square wave when the exponential time constant is small. Predictions of the induced electromotive fo...

This paper presents the experimental results of comparison between leakage currents and discharge currents. The leakage currents were obtained on polluted porcelain insulator. Whereas, the discharge currents were obtained on lightly artificial polluted porcelain specimen. The conducted measurements were leakage current or discharge current and applied voltage. The insulator or specimen was in a...
