Partial Discharge (PD) is the most important source of insulation degradation in power transformers. In order to prevent catastrophic failures in transformers, PDs need to be located as soon as possible so that maintenance measures can be taken in time. Due to the structural complexity of windings, locating the PD source inside a transformer winding is not a simple task. In this paper, the effi...

Abstract In this study, epoxy hybrid nanocomposites reinforced by carbon fibers (CFs) were fabricated a filament winding. To improve out-of-plane (transverse) mechanical properties, 0.5 and 1.0 Wt.% multi-walled nanotubes (MWCNTs) embedded into epoxy/CF composites. The MWCNTs well dispersed the resin without using any additives. transverse properties of epoxy/MWCNT/CF evaluated tensile test in ...

Lattice numerical simulations for planar closed random walks and their winding sectors are presented. The frontiers of the random walks and of their winding sectors have a Hausdorff dimension dH = 4/3. However, when properly defined by taking into account the inner 0-winding sectors, the frontiers of the random walks have a Hausdorff dimension dH ≈ 1.77.

Multiple coupled circuit modeling (MCCM) of squirrel-cage induction motors (SCIMs), or winding function approach is the most detailed and complete analytical model used to analyze the performance of faulty SCIMs. Already, in variate papers this approach was used to 3phases SCIMs, but this paper extends the above-mentioned model to 6phases SCIMs. Various simulations of variative faults are carri...

Modal parameters of power transformer winding are closely related to transformer manufacturing and detection technology of winding deformation based on vibration analysis method. Aimed at identifying the modal parameters of transformer winding accurately, a modal experiment is designed and made on a real 10 kV power transformer. An improved Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) algorithm is propos...

A winding angle summation approach to the point-in-polygon problem is considered. The winding angle summation is backward stable and resistant to possible gaps between subsequent edges. A precomputed bounding volume hierarchy can be used to accelerate point queries for winding angle summation. The main theorem states that a BVH-accelerated point query takes no longer than O ( K log n K ) time i...

String configurations with nonzero winding number describe soliton string states. We compute the Veneziano amplitude for the scattering of arbitrary winding states and show that in the large radius limit the strings always scatter trivially and with no change in the individual winding numbers of the strings. In this limit, then, these states scatter as true solitons.

In this study, application relevant toughened epoxy-amine formulations were investigated regarding their mechanical behavior at low temperatures and compared to a non-toughened reference. The application-oriented resins are based on reactive diluent-modified diglycidylether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) which tested 22 °C ?50 in regard fracture toughness (KIC) fatigue crack propagation (da/dN) behavio...

The minimizing to reactive power of control winding of the dual stator-winding induction generator is key optimization of the novel generator system. It is determined by parameters of machine, load, rotating speed and speed range and exciting capacitors paralleled with the output terminal of power winding. In this paper, Based on analysis on working principle of conventional three-phase inducti...
