Common Mode Voltage Mitigation Strategies Using Pwm In Neutral-Point-Clamped Multilevel Inverters, Chad Alexander Somogyi
Common Mode Voltage Mitigation Strategies Using Pwm In Neutral-Point-Clamped Multilevel Inverters, Chad Alexander Somogyi
Master's Theses (2009 -)
Over the last several decades, there has been consistent growth in the research and development of multilevel voltage-source inverter-based adjustable speed motor drives (ASDs) as a result of low cost, high reliability power semiconductors. The three-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) ASD is a popular multilevel inverter used in low and medium voltage applications because of its ability to produce lower levels of total harmonic distortion (THD) and withstand higher voltages while preserving the rated output power compared to two-level ASDs. As with other voltage-source inverters, three-level NPC ASDs produce common-mode voltage (CMV) that can cause motor shaft voltages, bearing currents, and excess …
Analysis Of The Detection Of Organophosphate Pesticides In Aqueous Solutions Using Polymer-Coated Single Idt Sensors, Michael J. Mccarthy
Analysis Of The Detection Of Organophosphate Pesticides In Aqueous Solutions Using Polymer-Coated Single Idt Sensors, Michael J. Mccarthy
Master's Theses (2009 -)
The single interdigital transducer (IDT) device was investigated as a micro-chemical sensor for the detection of organophosphates compounds in aqueous solutions. The compounds of interest are: parathion, parathion-methyl, and paraoxon. The polymers used as a partially-selective coating for the direct detection of these compounds are 2,2'-diallylbisphenol A- 1,1,3,3,5,5-hexamethyltrisiloxane (BPA-HMTS) and polyepichlorohydrin (PECH). BPA-HMTS is synthesized here at Marquette University. The measurement of interest for the single IDT is the change radiation resistance. The radiation resistance represents the energy stored in the propagating acoustic wave. As analyte absorbs into the polymer coating, changes in the film's properties will undergo resulting in …
Theoretical Analysis Of Laterally Vibrating Hammerhead Microcantilever Sensors In A Viscous Liquid, Jinjin Zhang
Theoretical Analysis Of Laterally Vibrating Hammerhead Microcantilever Sensors In A Viscous Liquid, Jinjin Zhang
Dissertations (1934 -)
Dynamically driven prismatic microcantilevers excited in the in-plane flexural mode have been investigated and used in liquid-phase sensing applications. However, the performance is restricted due to their limited surface sensing area and higher stiffness in shorter and wider prismatic microcantilevers. To increase the surface sensing area, and further improve sensing characteristics, it has been proposed to investigate symmetric hammerhead microcantilevers vibrating laterally in viscous liquid media. In this work, a theoretical model is proposed and the characteristics of the microcantilevers with symmetric shaped hammerheads (isosceles trapezoid, semi-circle, uniform rectangle and composite rectangle) are investigated. In the analysis, the stem of …
A Novel Design Optimization Of A Fault-Tolerant Ac Permanent Magnet Machine-Drive System, Peng Zhang
A Novel Design Optimization Of A Fault-Tolerant Ac Permanent Magnet Machine-Drive System, Peng Zhang
Dissertations (1934 -)
In this dissertation, fault-tolerant capabilities of permanent magnet (PM) machines were investigated. The 12-slot 10-pole PM machines with V-type and spoke-type PM layouts were selected as candidate topologies for fault-tolerant PM machine design optimization problems. The combination of 12-slot and 10-pole configuration for PM machines requires a fractional-slot concentrated winding (FSCW) layout, which can lead to especially significant PM losses in such machines. Thus, a hybrid method to compute the PM losses was investigated, which combines computationally efficient finite-element analysis (CE-FEA) with a new analytical formulation for PM eddy-current loss computation in sine-wave current regulated synchronous PM machines. These algorithms …
