Study Of Solid State Fault Interruption Device For Medium Voltage Distribution Systems With Distributed Generators, Mehul K. Madan, Badrul H. Chowdhury Dec 2010

Study Of Solid State Fault Interruption Device For Medium Voltage Distribution Systems With Distributed Generators, Mehul K. Madan, Badrul H. Chowdhury

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Solid state fault interruption devices (FID) can interrupt fault currents much faster than the presently available circuit breakers. Due to their current inability to block system level voltages, presently available semiconductor devices are connected in series to increase blocking capability of the fault interrupting device. to verify the ability of the interruption device for use in a medium voltage distribution system, a FID model is subjected to simulated tests for continuous current carrying capability, rated fault current interruption, and lightning impulse withstand tests. a simulation to demonstrate the ability of the FID to interrupt fault currents in a 7.2kV distribution …


Feedback Linearization Internal Control For The Unified Power Flow Controller, Keyou Wang, Mariesa L. Crow Dec 2010

Feedback Linearization Internal Control For The Unified Power Flow Controller, Keyou Wang, Mariesa L. Crow

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

This paper presents feedback linearization-based controller design methodology for a unified power flow controller (UPFC) to achieve rapid reference signal tracking in the internal level. Feedback linearization control (FBLC) is a nonlinear technique based on differential geometry theory and overcomes the drawback of traditional PI control linearizing at one specific operating condition. FBLC is applied on UPFC dynamic model via an appropriate coordinate transformation and LQR control is then applied on the transferred linear system. the proposed control is validated on the IEEE 118-bus system with full-order generator and network models. ©2010 IEEE.

What Will Be The Effects Of Ecuador's New Oil Contracts?, Inter-American Dialogue's Latin American Energy Advisor Dec 2010

What Will Be The Effects Of Ecuador's New Oil Contracts?, Inter-American Dialogue's Latin American Energy Advisor

Latin American Energy Dialogue, White Papers and Reports

Ecuador completed contract renegotiations Nov. 23 with several oil companies to replace profit-sharing agreements with flat-fee service contracts, but failed to reach an agreement with Petrobras and three other companies. How will the contract changes affect oil production in Ecuador? Is the government likely to make any alterations to the new policy? Will the contract changes lead would-be foreign investors to shy away from Ecuador?

Go Ye Out From Babylon: Mormon Gathering As A Reaction To American Culture, 1831-1846, Brady G. Winslow Dec 2010

Go Ye Out From Babylon: Mormon Gathering As A Reaction To American Culture, 1831-1846, Brady G. Winslow

Student Works

Many have claimed that Mormonism is the American religion. But perphaps they have mistaken American geography for American culture. While early Mormonism took place in America, it can be interpreted as a reaction to American culture, and this is perhaps best seen in the Mormon doctrine of gathering.


The Relationship Between Family Recreation And Relatedness In Children And Their Families, Kristen Berrett Dec 2010

The Relationship Between Family Recreation And Relatedness In Children And Their Families, Kristen Berrett

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to provide insight into the factors contributing to relatedness in children, specifically family recreation, and to look at relatedness between family members (family relatedness), and whether or not family recreation makes a contribution to this construct. Two instruments were used to collect data for this study. The Family Leisure Activity Profile (FLAP) measured family recreation involvement and satisfaction, and the Activity-Feelings States Scales (AFS) measured child and family relatedness. The sample included elementary school children between the ages of 6 years and 12 years (n1=405), and the parents of those children (n2=405). The data …


Supporting Islanded Microgrid Operations In The Presence Of Intermittent Wind Generation, Nikhil K. Ardeshna, Badrul H. Chowdhury Dec 2010

Supporting Islanded Microgrid Operations In The Presence Of Intermittent Wind Generation, Nikhil K. Ardeshna, Badrul H. Chowdhury

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Although microgrids have the potential to solve several sticky problems that beset the present-day grid, indiscriminate application can cause serious problems. Thorough studies are needed on many aspects to identify the potential problems and to develop effective mitigation techniques. Microgrids can operate in parallel with the main grid or as an isolated system to support customers isolated from the grid. during parallel operations, the microgrid supplies only a fraction of the power demand of the grid. However, in islanded operations, the microgrid must continue to supply 100% of power to the customers. Both types of operations are studied to identify …

Voltage Prediction Using A Cellular Network, Lisa L. Grant, Ganesh K. Venayagamoorthy

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Better identification tools are needed for power system voltage profile prediction. the power systems of the future will see an increase in both renewable energy sources and load demand increasing the need for quick estimation of bus voltages and line power flows for system security and contingency analysis. a Cellular Simultaneous Recurrent Neural Network (CSRN) to identify and predict bus voltage dynamics is presented in this paper. the benefit of using a cellular structure over traditional neural network architectures is that the network can represent a direct mapping of any power system allowing for easier scalability to large power systems. …


Individual Differences Related To Strategy Shifting: Who Shifts And Why?, Brent Wesley Morgan Dec 2010

Individual Differences Related To Strategy Shifting: Who Shifts And Why?, Brent Wesley Morgan

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

This thesis investigated the association of cognitive abilities and strategy shifting within a procedural-motor task. College students traced or drew various forms of a figure-8 before completing a battery of cognitive tests. A pilot study identified three distinct strategies for drawing a figure-8, whereas the current study manipulated the figure-8 stimuli to encourage these strategies at various points. Phase 1 had two counterbalanced conditions which instructed participants to trace versus draw a rotated figure-8. Phase 2 gradually morphed a figure-8 such as to encourage the three predominant strategies. Phase 3 was a condition which included stimuli from Phases 1 and …


Empowering Imagined Communities: Social Network Sites In A Chinese English As A Foreign Language Classroom, James Andrew Kelley Dec 2010

Empowering Imagined Communities: Social Network Sites In A Chinese English As A Foreign Language Classroom, James Andrew Kelley

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Little work has yet to explore the potential for the use of social network sites (SNSs) in the English as a Second Language/English as a Foreign Language (ESL/EFL) classroom, but recent trends in teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL) research suggest that SNSs may be a powerful context for language learning: offering students access to online communities of practice and /or imagined communities (as interpreted by Norton et al.); increased control of co-constructed/negotiated identities; and opportunities for empowering positions in authentic intercultural exchanges. This dissertation reports on a largely exploratory, empirical study of how the use of an …

A Multi-Level Study Investigating The Impact Of Workplace Civility Climate On Incivility And Employee Well-Being, Raymond Charles Ottinot Dec 2010

A Multi-Level Study Investigating The Impact Of Workplace Civility Climate On Incivility And Employee Well-Being, Raymond Charles Ottinot

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This study used Zohar‟s (2000) multi-level model of climate to examine the extent to which shared perceptions of workplace civility climate relate to teacher job satisfaction, affective commitment, and counterproductive work behaviors (CWB-abuse) towards other teachers. Workplace civility climate is defined as employee perceptions of how management uses policies, procedures, and practices to maintain a civil workplace. An online-survey was used to assess a cross-sectional sample of K-12 teachers (N = 2222) nested in 207 schools in a large US school district. There was adequate agreement among teacher perceptions of school civility climate for aggregation and between-group variance of civility …
