Agricultural Applications For Electromagnetic Exposure, H. Aliakbarian, A. Enayati, Hossein Ameri Mahabadi, M. Ashayer Soltani

Hossein Ameri Mahabadi

Despite the advances in bug controlling and antifreezing operations of agricultural products, the devastation of Sunne pests and freezing is still enormous. Traditional treatments such as chemical insecticides for bug controlling and covering to avoid freezing have not been sufficient. In the presented paper, new ideas of using electromagnetic treatment for anti-freezing operation, pre-harvest Sunne pest control, and Orchid flower control are introduced.

Electric Power: Cyber And Electromagnetic Security Issues, George H. Baker

George H Baker

Electric power is essential to the functioning of U.S. society. The electric power system increasingly operates at or near its reliability limits. The geographic scale of the tightly coupled networks involved makes the system susceptible to large-scale outages. More frequent natural and accidental failures portend possible catastrophes from intentional disruption. Deregulation has been a major factor to the lack of investment in system upgrades. Techniques to prevent attacks and reduce vulnerabilities are available and affordable.

Localisation Of Production Placement And Reduction Of Energy Transfer, Tarak Mesbah, Kamel Bounaya, Boukhemis Chetate

Boukhemis Chetate

The first step in the planning of the electrical supply networks consists in defining the optimum placement of one or more power stations; this can be done by the centre of gravity method, or by the minimal reduced costs. The first method take in account only the optimisation of investments, tended that the second in addition to the investments holds operating statement "production cost, cooling and transport." In this study, we show also the strategy and the criteria of delimitation of the zones to electrify by the same departure and to reduce the transfer of power between zones, which has …

Emp: A National-Scale Threat To The U.S. Infrastructure, George H. Baker

George H Baker

Since the nuclear weapon atmospheric test days of the 1950s, it has been known that a single nuclear weapon detonated at altitudes from about 30-500 kilometers generates a strong electromagnetic pulse (EMP) that can disrupt electronic systems on the ground at large distances. During the Cold War, the effects of high altitude nuclear detonations were considered by many to be ephemeral, second order effects in comparison to direct blast/thermal/radiation effects from near-surface bursts in the context of mutually-assured-destruction (or MAD) scenarios. However, as infrastructure objectives have gained prominence in military operations, the likelihood of high altitude nuclear scenarios have gained …

Amélioration Des Performances D’Un Variateur De Vitesse Contrôlé Par La Méthode À Flux Orienté, Aissa Kheldoun

Boukhemis Chetate

The present work is an attempt to improve the efficiency and the robustness of vector controlled induction motor drives. In fact, the efficiency of these latter, decrease for two main raisons: rotor resistance variation and light load operating; if the flux level is maintained constant. For this reason, a method is suggested to select the optimal flux which leads to minimum power loss. In another hand, to address the effect of the rotor resistance variation, a fuzzy logic-based mechanism is proposed to maintain the decoupling and avoiding consequently extra power loss. The last part of this thesis is dedicated to …

Contrôle D’Une Éolienne En Fonctionnement Autonome Basée Sur Une Génératrice Asynchrone, Djamila Rekioua Pr

REKIOUA Djamila Dr

Cet article présente le contrôle de la tension à la sortie d’une génératrice asynchrone excitée par un onduleur/redresseur à ML1 relié à un condensateur du côté continu du convertisseur pour une utilisation dans les régions éloignées et isolées. Elle est contrôlée en utilisant la commande vectorielle à flux rotorique orienté lorsque la vitesse du rotor et la charge électrique sont variables

Adaptive Control Of Induction Motor With Unknown Motor Resistance, Boukhemis Chetate, Nadir Kabache, Rafik Bradai

Nadir Kabache

In this paper, a new approach for induction motor rotor resistance variation estimate is presented by using adaptive neural networks. Indeed, the proposed neural networks are endowed with adaptive rules that allow them to estimate the true values of the necessary nonlinear state feedbacks for the input-output feedback linearization control of an induction motor. A comparison between the nonlinear state feedbacks provided by neural networks and those calculated through the nominal model of the induction motor with nominal parameters allows us to estimate the variation in the rotor resistance.

A Novel Quasi-Resonant Snubber-Assisted Zcs-Pwm Dc-Dc Converter With High Frequency Link, Khairy F. A. Sayed Dr

Khairy F. A. Sayed Dr

In this paper, a novel type of auxiliary switched capacitor assisted edge resonant soft switching PWM resonant DC-DC Converter with two simple auxiliary commutation lossless inductor snubbers. The operation principle of this converter is described using the switching mode equivalent circuits. This newly developed multi resonant DC-DC Converter can regulate its dc output AC power under a principle of constant frequency edge-resonant soft switching commutation by asymmetrical PWM duty cycle control scheme. The high frequency power regulation and actual power characteristics of the proposed soft switching PWM resonant DC-DC Converter are evaluated and discussed. The operating performances of the newly …
