Energy Storage For Power Systems With Rapidly Changing Loads, Patrick G. Lyons Dec 1992

Energy Storage For Power Systems With Rapidly Changing Loads, Patrick G. Lyons

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

In areas with rapidly changing loads of large magnitude, utility companies often experience large deviations in frequency and area control error. Inadvertent tie-line power flow also occurs. The purpose of this research is to examine the effects a large scale energy storage device has on the system response to a rapidly changing load. Two control areas connected by a tie-line are modelled and simulations are performed to determine the response to a step change in load and also to a five-stand rolling mill load. For each type of load, three cases are studied: no energy storage in the system, a …

Project Modeling For Discrete Event Simulation By Neural Networks And Fuzzy Associative Memories, O. E. Velipasaoglu, O. K. Ersoy, T. Nienhaus

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

The simulation method is used to obtain approximate solutions to operations planning problems. Its power comes from the ability to model complex systems effectively. This property makes simulation preferable in practice over programming methods which provide exact solutions but are limited in the range of problems they can be applied. Flexibility of simulation modeling is desirable especially in resource constrained operations planning problems. When internal decision mechanisms like heuristic methods are added to the scope of simulation, performance can be enhanced significantly. As a result of application of neural networks and fuzzy associative memories to operations planning through the context …

Oxidative Mechanisms In Arterial Distension Injury: Observations Relevant To Restenosis After Angioplasty, Charles F. Babbs, Yuan Zhong Nov 1992

Oxidative Mechanisms In Arterial Distension Injury: Observations Relevant To Restenosis After Angioplasty, Charles F. Babbs, Yuan Zhong

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Working Papers

Background: To explore the hypothesis that tissue iron and reactive oxygen species, including superoxide (O2), mediate acute inflammatory and late hyperplastic responses to vascular injury, we studied experimental overdistension of normal carotid and femoral arteries in dogs. Experimental design: Arterial segments isolated in situ were distended with Ringer solution at 2 atmospheres pressure. In initial experiments the arteries were excised immediately after distension and immersed in diaminobenzidine solutions containing Mn++ ions to initiate histochemical reactions for O2. In other experiments distended arterial segments were reperfused with arterial blood in the presence or absence of the iron chelator, deferoxamine, or the …

Time Complexity Of A Path-Formulated Optimal Routing Algorithm, John K. Antonio, Wei K. Tsai, G. M. Huang Oct 1992

Time Complexity Of A Path-Formulated Optimal Routing Algorithm, John K. Antonio, Wei K. Tsai, G. M. Huang

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

A detailed analysis of convergence rate is presented for an iterative path formulated optimal routing algorithm. The primary objective is to quantify, analytically, how the convergence rate changes as the number of nodes in the underlying graph increases. The analysis is motivated by a particular path formulated gradient projection algorithm that has demonstrated excellent convergence rate properties through extensive numerical studies. In particular, the empirical data suggests that the number of iterations required for convergence to within a small fraction of the optimal cost is relatively independent of the number of nodes. Deriving a correspondingly tight analytical bound for the …

Comparative Study Of Motion Control Methods For A Nonlinear System, Daniel J. Pack,, Min Meng, A. C. Kak

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

What led to the novel ideas, some of them theoretical, presented in this paper is our highly experimental approach to nonlinear control. We actually designed and fabricated a two-link inverted pendulum, and learned about the relationships and the trade offs that exist in such a device. In the context of controlling an inverted pendulum, the novel ideas presented in this paper relate to i) the design of a fuzzy logic controller; ii) the design of a neuralnetwork controller; and iii) experimental implementation of a nonlinear controller based on differential-geometric notions; etc. etc. These novel ideas are presented in a comparative …


Design Methodology For Low Speed Variable Reluctance Motors, John R. Suriano Sep 1992

Design Methodology For Low Speed Variable Reluctance Motors, John R. Suriano

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Lowering the gear reduction in actuators by utilizing high-torque low-speed motors enables the use of less expensive and simpler gear systems and decreases the overall system inertia. Variable reluctance machines can produce high torque at low speeds. Their static torque, a critical quantity for determination of low speed operation, is colnpared for three variable reluctance motor design variations using linear analysis. Saturation effects, which are crucial to the accurate determination of static torque, are modeled using a dual energy technique first proposed by Lord Rayleigh. Dual energy techniques utilizing flux tubes and magnetomotive force slices are developed into a numerical …
