A dynamic model for inertia energy stored generator with rectifier system
Due to diode elements, inertia energy stored generator with rectifier system possess the characteristic of nonlinearity, which cause great difficulty in analyzing systematic performance. In this paper, The inertia energy stored generator is modeled based on the fact that subtransient electric motive force (EMF) maintain constant during commutation process, and the uncontrollable rectifier system is also modeled based on state space averaging method. Both of which provide an effective model for systematic analysis.
Average modeling of three-phase and nine-phase diode rectifiers with improved AC current and DC voltage dynamics
This paper presents a new average modeling approach for three-phase and nine-phase diode rectifiers with improved AC and DC dynamics. The key assumption taken in this paper is to model the DC load current using its first-order Taylor series expansion throughout the entire averaging timespan, i.e., commutation and conduction periods. The resultant average models present an excellent steady-state and transient behavior, matching their respective detailed switching models with less than 1 % measured error. Moreover, the analytic nature of these models makes them suitable for simulation and stability studies of variable frequency power systems. The paper presents an in-depth description of the modeling approach, together with a thorough static and transient validation of the proposed models. The model is validated through comparison of average model in MATLAB, switching model in Saber and the experimental results
Mechanical behaviour and durability of high volume fly ash cementitious composites
The purpose of this research is to separate different morphological particles of ASTM class F fly ash, and study their effect on mechanical behaviour and durability of high volume cementitious mixtures. In this research wet separation of raw fly ash is carried out, which resulted in three layers of different morphological particles. The first layer of particles float, comprise of about 1-5% of fly ash, is identified as cenospheres or hollow spheres. The second layer of particles is measured to be 55-60% of raw fly ash and consisting of porous spherical and rounded particles rich in Si and Al. The third layer particles is measured to be about 35-40% of raw fly ash. High volume fly ash cementitious composites containing second or third layer particles are tested under compression and bending, highlighting a higher strength and ductility in comparison to cementitious ones containing raw fly ash particles.
