The winding hot-spot temperature is an extremely important factor limiting the loading capability of a power transformer. High temperature also accelerates the aging of paper insulation and thus reduces the lifetime of a transformer. Ohmic losses in the winding are the main source of heat inside a transformer. Precise knowledge of these losses is very important to determine the winding temperature distribution. Furthermore, in an oil-immersed power transformer, oil is used both as insulation and as liquid coolant In a disc-type winding, a non-uniform coolant flow, in horizontal ducts, can contribute to local overheating. This article describes a new approach to estimate the winding temperature distribution, in which losses are computed by the finite element method whereas the coolant circulation and the temperature distribution are obtained from a thermal-hydraulic network representation of the winding.

This work proposes a frequency-domain EMI prediction model for common mode (CM) and differential mode (DM) noises for the purpose of designing EMI filters before the system construction. The parameters in the model can be extracted from system detail switching model or measured from the real system. The Double Fourier Integral Transformation (DFIT) method is used to calculate the noise sources in the model. When the system topology modulation method and modulation index is fixed, the system EMI noise can be predicted from the calculation of the equivalent model. Verifications are carried out through simulation and experiment system by comparing the calculated EMI spectrums and simulated and measured EMI spectrums. Based on the proposed model, this paper also proves that the resonances in EMI noise propagation path will have a significant impact on the EMI filter design for DC fed motor drive system with long cables.

In this paper we present an abstraction algorithm that produces a finite bisimulation quotient for an autonomous discrete-time linear system. We assume that the bisimulation quotient is required to preserve the observations over an arbitrary, finite number of polytopic subsets of the system state space. We generate the bisimulation quotient with the aid of a sequence of contractive polytopic sublevel sets obtained via a polyhedral Lyapunov function. The proposed algorithm guarantees that at iteration i, the bisimulation of the system within the i -th sublevel set of the Lyapunov function is completed. We then show how to use the obtained bisimulation quotient to verify the system with respect to arbitrary Linear Temporal Logic formulas over the observed regions.

We report on a heterojunction band gap engineered single- and dual-color photodetectors with pBiBn and pBp architecture, respectively. The detailed optical and electrical characterization of these devices has been performed. The pBiBn detector demonstrated a specific detectivity of 3 × 10 10 Jones at 8m wavelength and a specific detectivity of 5 × 10 11 Jones and 2.6 × 10 10 Jones for MWIR (at 5 μm) and LWIR (9 μm) absorbers, respectively, has been measured for dual-band pBp detector. Observed performance of unipolar barrier devices is superior to the performance of homojunction single-and dual-color detectors based on the same material system and operating at the same wavelength range.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have limited power capabilities, whereas they serve applications which usually require specific packets, i.e. High Priority Packets (HPP), to be delivered before a deadline. Hence, it is essential to reduce the energy consumption and to have real-time behavior. To achieve this goal we propose a hybrid technique which explores the benefits of data aggregation without data size reduction in combination with prioritized queues. The energy consumption is reduced by appending data from incoming packets with already buffered Low Priority Packets (LPP). The real-time behavior is achieved by directly forwarding the HPP to the next node. Our study explores the impact of the proposed hybrid technique in several all-to-one data flow scenarios with various traffic loads, wait time intervals and percentage of HPP. Our results show gain up to 23,3% in packet loss and 36,6% in energy consumption compared with the direct forwarding of packets.

As wind energy becomes a larger portion of the world's energy portfolio and wind turbines become larger and more expensive, wind turbine control systems play an ever more prominent role in the design and deployment of wind turbines. The goals of traditional wind turbine control systems are maximizing energy production while protecting the wind turbine components. As more wind generation is installed there is an increasing interest in wind turbines actively controlling their power output in order to meet power set-points and to participate in frequency regulation for the utility grid. This capability will be beneficial for grid operators, as it seems possible that wind turbines can be more effective at providing some of these services than traditional power plants. Furthermore, establishing an ancillary market for such regulation can be beneficial for wind plant owner/operators and manufacturers that provide such services. In this tutorial paper we provide an overview of basic wind turbine control systems and highlight recent industry trends and research in wind turbine control systems for grid integration and frequency stability.
