Propulsion And P.I Control Systems For Sae Aircraft, Ervin Meneses
Propulsion And P.I Control Systems For Sae Aircraft, Ervin Meneses
Honors Theses
This thesis analyzes the integration and performance of a P.I control system within the SAE Aero Design Competition aircraft. This year the Union College Aero Design team will be competing in the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Aero Design “Regular Class” Competition, which encompasses the design and production of a large‐scale remote controlled aircraft that must meet predetermined power and size constraints. The overall objective of the competition is to have the designed aircraft carry a maximum amount weight within a 200 feet runway while staying below a 1000W power limit. Each competitor must integrate a power limiter into their …

Control System For A Doubly Fed Induction Generator, Nathan Haines
Honors Theses
Doubly Fed Induction Generators (DFIGs) are typically used in large scale (three to five Megawatt) wind turbines because they can be operated over a wide range of wind speeds, have flexible control systems, power electronics need only pass about 30% of the generator power, and the windmill experiences fewer mechanical stresses. This project is to construct the control system for a DFIG. This control system will be used to test the feasibility of using a DFIG on a small-scale wind turbine. Testing confirms that the DFIG delivers power over a wider range of simulated wind speed than a standard induction …
