Phasor Domain Modeling Of Type-Iii Wind Turbines, Mohammed Alqahtani Jun 2021

Phasor Domain Modeling Of Type-Iii Wind Turbines, Mohammed Alqahtani

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation research focuses on developing an accurate steady-state phasor model for Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG)-based wind turbines (Type-III WTs). Unlike the classical synchronous or asynchronous generators, Type-III WTs are electronically coupled to the power grid. The steady-state and dynamic responses of the DFIG-based WTs depend on the behavior of the converters controllers. Accurate modeling requires reproducing the behavior of the power electronics and the control system for various operating scenarios. The analysis of this research area is carried out in two stages or tasks. The first task focuses on the balanced stator voltage situation, while the unbalanced stator …


Web-Based Tidal Toolbox Of Astronomic Tidal Data For The Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, Esturaries Sic] And Continental Shelf Of The South Atlantic Bight, Alfredo Ruiz Jan 2011

Web-Based Tidal Toolbox Of Astronomic Tidal Data For The Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, Esturaries Sic] And Continental Shelf Of The South Atlantic Bight, Alfredo Ruiz

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A high-resolution astronomic tidal model has been developed that includes detailed inshore regions of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and associated estuaries along the South Atlantic Bight. The unique nature of the model’s development ensures that the tidal hydrodynamic interaction between the shelf and estuaries is fully described. Harmonic analysis of the model output results in a database of tidal information that extends from a semi-circular arc (radius ~750 km) enclosing the South Atlantic Bight from the North Carolina coast to the Florida Keys, onto the continental shelf and into the full estuarine system. The need for tidal boundary conditions (elevation …


Unified Large And Small Signal Discrete-Space Modeling For Pwm Converters In Ccm, Ehab Hamed Shoubaki Jan 2005

Unified Large And Small Signal Discrete-Space Modeling For Pwm Converters In Ccm, Ehab Hamed Shoubaki

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In this Thesis a Unified Discrete State-Space Model for power converters in CCM is presented. Two main approaches to arriving at the discrete model are used. The first approach involves an impulse function approximation of the duty cycle modulations of the converter switches , and this approach results in a small signal discrete model. The Second approach is direct and does not involve any approximation of the modulations , this approach yields both a large signal nonlinear discrete model and a linear small signal model. Harmonic analysis of the converter states at steady-state is done for steady-state waveform acquisition , …
