  • Development of a variable-speed, doubly-fed wind power generation system

    Creator:
    Brune, Christopher S.
    Abstract:
    Generation of electricity from the wind is becoming increasing popular as an environmentally responsible resource. Current methods for generating electricity from the wind involve the use of fixed-speed generators. However, the use of variable-speed generators increases the amount of energy that can be extracted from the wind. Most variable-speed technologies...

  • Three-dimensional finite element design procedure for the brushless doubly fed machine

    Creator:
    Thompson, Brenda E.
    Abstract:
    Brushless Doubly Fed Machines (BDFM) have potential advantages in variable speed generation and adjustable speed drive applications. The most significant of these advantages is a reduction in the power electronic converter rating, and therefore a reduction in overall system cost. Presently, efforts are being directed at optimizing the design of...

  • Aseismic performance of a cable-stayed structure with decentralized H[infinity] control

    Creator:
    Chńg, Guan B.
    Abstract:
    The dissertation uses state-of-the-art structural engineering theories, in parallel with the modern and still-developing control theory of electrical engineering to mitigate the vibratory responses of a double-stayed bridge subjected to strong earthquake ground motions. First, a nonlinear finite element model of the double-stayed bridge subjected to non-uniform (multi-support) earthquake excitations...

  • Passively controlled variable-speed generator system

    Creator:
    Bathon, Tobias Siegfried
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents both an analysis and simulations of a passively controlled variable-speed generator system, which can be applied for renewable energy sources such as wind turbines. Parallel connected passive/external resistors and inductors are connected to the slip rings of a wound rotor induction machine to provide an acceptable speed...

  • Active power filter for the cancellation of harmonic line current distortion

    Creator:
    Merk, Marcel
    Abstract:
    With the increased attention on high efficiency and energy savings, power electronic energy conversion equipment is increasingly incorporated in all levels of the power system. The drawback of such equipment is the generation of nonsinusoidal currents in the power distribution network due to the nonlinear operation. Harmonic currents may distort...

  • A remotely controlled power quality test platform for characterizing the ride-through capabilities of adjustable speed drives

    Creator:
    Matheson, Evelyn
    Abstract:
    With the increased attention on high efficiency and controllability of industrial processes, as well as reduced weight, volume and cost of consumer products, the applications of nonlinear power electronic converters such as adjustable speed drives (ASDs) are showing a rapid rise. Power Quality (PQ) is becoming an increasing concern with...

  • Thai preservice middle school mathematics teachers' subject matter knowledge and knowledge of students' conceptions of division of rational numbers with respect to their classroom practices

    Creator:
    Singmuang, Charuwan
    Abstract:
    The study investigated the impact of Thai preservice middle school mathematics teachers' knowledge of subject matter and of students' conceptions of division of rational numbers with respect to their classroom practices in a teaching environment controlled by a required national curriculum. Four preservice teachers were selected with different knowledge of...

  • The design of delta-sigma modulators for multi-standard RF receivers

    Creator:
    Liu, Mingliang
    Abstract:
    The transition from second-generation (2G) to third-generation (3G) wireless cellular and cordless telephone systems requires multi-standard adaptability in a single RF receiver equipment. An important answer to this request is the use of Delta-Sigma modulators for IF-to-baseband conversion, which will satisfy the dynamic range requirements for digital signal processing, and...

    Chompu-inwai, Rungchat
    Abstract:
    This research employed both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies to explore the impact of mobile wireless technology (MWT) in higher education classrooms. The methodology was developed using systems engineering concepts. A methodology to evaluate and compare the cost, cost-effectiveness and cost-utility of different MWT configurations was also developed. Five outcomes...
