The drive for larger offshore turbines with greater outputs is curtailed by the physical size of the generator and the ability to install devices in remote areas with often changeable weather conditions. High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) machines offer the technology able to replace large Direct Drive Permanent Magnet (DDPM) generators with more compact machines. However some theoretical HTS designs often neglect the practicality of the physical support structure required to tolerate the huge magnetic attraction forces produced by increased field flux. Offshore wind turbines require structurally robust machines with low operation and maintenance costs as well as lightweight, material efficient designs. This paper will investigate a generator structure for a proposed HTC electrical machinedesign.

A new wireless asynchronous data communications module for industrial applications EGE, Yavuz; Sensoy, Mehmet Gokhan; Kalender, Osman; Nazlibilek, Sedat; Citak, Hakan (Elsevier BV, 2013-10-01) All the sensors such as temperature, humidity, and pressure used in industry provide analog outputs as inputs for their control units. Wireless transmission of the data has advantages on wired transmission such as USB port, parallel port and serial port and therefore has great importance for industrial applications. In this work, a new wireless asynchronous data communications module has been developed to send the earth magnetic field data around a ferromagnetic material detected by a KMZ51 AMR sensor. The ...
Assessment of solar data estimation models for four cities in Iran Jahani, Elham; Sadati, S. M. Sajed; Yousefzadeh, Moslem (2015-04-29) The estimated solar resources are important for designing renewable energy systems since measured data are not always available. The estimation models have been introduced in several studies. These models are mainly dependent on local meteorological data and need to be assessed for different locations and times. The current study compares the results of Angstrom's model and a neural network (NN) model developed for this study with measured data for four cities in Iran. The time resolution for the estimated ...
A Geographical Zoning Methodology for Nodal Transmission Use-of-System Tariffs Cebeci, M. E.; Tor, O. B.; Gencoglu, C.; Güven, Ali Nezih (2012-07-26) Power systems are generally separated into transmission use-of-tariff (TUoT) zones to simplify the tariff mechanism, particularly for large grids. Each zone is an aggregation of neighboring nodes with similar tariffs that are determined based on long-run marginal cost (LRMC) calculations. This paper proposes a zoning methodology which ensures diversification of zonal tariffs while geographically aggregating the nodal TUoTs by weighted average approach. Investment cost-related pricing (ICRP) and DC-load-flow...
Inductor Saturation Compensation in Three-Phase Three-Wire Voltage-Source Converters via Inverse System Dynamics Ozkan, Ziya; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2021-01-01) In three-phase three-wire (3P3W) voltage-source converter (VSC) systems, utilization of filter inductors with deep saturation characteristics is often advantageous due to the improved size, cost, and efficiency. However, with the use of conventional synchronous frame current control (CSCC) methods, the inductor saturation results in significant dynamic performance loss and poor steady-state current waveform quality. This paper proposes an inverse dynamic model based compensation (IDMBC) method to overcome t...
Development of a superconducting claw-pole linear test-rig Radyjowski, Patryk; Keysan, Ozan; Burchell, Joseph; Mueller, Markus (IOP Publishing, 2016-04-01) Superconducting generators can help to reduce the cost of energy for large offshore wind turbines, where the size and mass of the generator have a direct effect on the installation cost. However, existing superconducting generators are not as reliable as the alternative technologies. In this paper, a linear test prototype for a novel superconducting claw-pole topology, which has a stationary superconducting coil that eliminates the cryocooler coupler will be presented. The issues related to mechanical, elec...
