DOUBLE-OUTPUT INDUCTION GENERATOR OPERATING AT SUBSYNCHRONOUS AND SUPERSYNCHRONOUS SPEEDS - STEADY-STATE PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION AND WIND-ENERGY RECOVERY

CADIRCI, I
ERMIS, M
The paper covers the steady-state analysis of a wound-rotor induction generator operated at varying shaft speeds in the subsynchronous and supersynchronous regions, by control of both the magnitude and direction of slip power. A modified equivalent circuit is used in the analyses in which core losses and harmonics are ignored. The resulting nonlinear algebraic equations are solved numerically. An optimum control strategy, which maximises the total electrical power output of the double output induction generator is determined, and theoretical results are verified experimentally with particular emphasis on the system including naturally commutated convertors. The limitations of naturally commutated convertor circuits and their effects on the output power characteristic of the system are also discussed. This system shows considerable advantage in the field of wind-energy conversion. Its performance is optimised on the basis of annual energy production by calculating optimum values of gear ratio and generator size for the given turbine characteristic and site wind regime. Also, a comparison is made among optimised versions of alternative induction generator schemes used in wind-energy conversion systems, on the bases of annual energy production and transfer characteristic for the same site and turbine.

A computational procedure for estimating residual stresses and secondary plastic flow limits in nonlinearly strain hardening rotating shafts
Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-03-01)
A computational procedure to estimate the residual stress distributions and the limit angular speeds for avoiding secondary plastic deformation in nonlinearly strain hardening rotating elastic-plastic shafts is given. The model is based on von Mises yield condition, J(2) deformation theory and a Swift-type hardening law. The boundary value problem for the governing nonlinear differential equation is solved by a shooting method using Newton iterations with numerically approximated tangent. Solid as well as h...
Yielding of two-layer shrink-fitted composite tubes subject to radial pressure
Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-12-01)
Yielding of two-layer shrink-fitted composite tubes with axially constrained ends subject to either internal or external pressure is investigated in detail. In the framework of small deformations, a state of plane strain and von Mises yield criterion, analytical expressions are obtained for critical values of the pressure leading to plastic flow. It is shown that, depending on material properties and tube dimensions, different modes of plastic deformation may occur. Yielding may commence at the inner tube o...

© 2020 ECS - The Electrochemical Society.Electromechanical systems, which provide electrical power and data connection between moving terminals require high conduction and erosion resistant surfaces. Transfers of electrical power and data are accomplished by the contact of drum and brush wires. The simultaneous electrochemical deposition of desired Au-Ag-Cu alloy compositions, which can be used to coat the brush wires, was investigated in this study. In the scope of the study, the static potential and cycli...
EXPERIMENTAL-STUDY OF UNSTEADY FORCED-CONVECTION IN A DUCT WITH AND WITHOUT ARRAYS OF BLOCK-LIKE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
LI, W; KAKAC, S; HATAY, FF; OSKAY, R (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1993-01-01)
An experimental apparatus was designed, built and used to study the behavior of transient forced convection in a rectangular duct with and without barriers due to a sinusoidal heat input at the inlet. to simulate the electric heating and cooling inside the computer. A wide range of Reynolds number (400 less-than-or-equal-to Re less-than-or-equal-to 20,000) and inlet frequencies (0.01 Hz less-than-or-equal-to beta less-than-or-equal-to 0.08 Hz) was covered in this experimental study for both laminar and turb...
Mathematical modeling of horizontal two-phase flow through fully eccentric annuli
Ömürlü, Çiğdem; Özbayoğlu, Evren; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2006)
The primary objective of this study is to understand the mechanism, the hydraulics and the characteristics, of the two-phase flow in horizontal annuli. While achieving this goal, both theoretical and experimental works have been conducted extensively. The METU-PETE-CTMFL (Middle East Technical University, Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering Department, Cuttings Transport and Multiphase Flow Laboratory) multiphase flow loop consists of 4.84 m long eccentric horizontal acrylic pipes having 0.1143m inner dia...
