Stability Analysis Of Fixed-Point Digital Filters Using Computer Generated Lyapunov Functions- Part Ii: Wave Digital Filters And Lattice Digital Filters, A. Michel, Kelvin T. Erickson Jan 1985

Stability Analysis Of Fixed-Point Digital Filters Using Computer Generated Lyapunov Functions- Part Ii: Wave Digital Filters And Lattice Digital Filters, A. Michel, Kelvin T. Erickson

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

In a companion paper [4], we utilize the constructive stability algorithm of Brayton and Tong in the stability analysis of fixed-point digital filters which are in the direct form and in the coupled form. We continue this work in the present paper by considering wave digital filters and lattice digital filters. We believe that the results of the present paper and its companion paper demonstrate that the constructive algorithm constitutes an effective and general approach in the qualitative analysis of fixed-pointed digital filters.

WxSey thin films have been prepared by the spray pyrolysis and anodic electrodeposition of solutions of ammonium selenotungstate, (NH4)2WSe4, with y/x usually between two and three for the sprayed films and y x>>1 for the electrodeposited films. The sprayed films indicated regions of crystalline WSe2 and have optical absorbance spectra consistent with a mixture of WSe2, WSe3, and selenium. The electrodeposited films are totally amorphous, highly photoconductive, and have optical absorbance spectra typical of amorphous or vitreous selenium. The sprayed films transform into WO3 at temperatures greater than 350°C in the presence of oxygen wile the electrode-posited films tend …


Laser-Induced Surface Diffusion, Cheng-Hsiao Wu, Jonathan I. Gittleman Apr 1984

Laser-Induced Surface Diffusion, Cheng-Hsiao Wu, Jonathan I. Gittleman

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

A Brownian motion model for laser-induced surface diffusion is proposed to account for the kinetics of surface transport of the evaporated molecules from a thin discontinuous film under a focused laser beam. The model is solved exactly where the evaporation rate of the molecules is assumed to be proportional to the temperature rise above the ambient of the absorber layer. The surface diffusion constant and molecular velocity are obtained by comparing the results of calculations with transmission electron micrographs of recorded pits in Te trilayer opticial discs. These values are in good agreement with Einstein's relation.

Distribution System Protection With Decentralized Generation Introduced Into The System, Behruz Fardanesh, Earl F. Richards Jan 1984

Distribution System Protection With Decentralized Generation Introduced Into The System, Behruz Fardanesh, Earl F. Richards

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Cogeneration from renewable energy sources has been universally proposed as a partial alternative to the solution of our nation's energy problems. New technical, safety, and operational problems are introduced when this generation is placed into a distribution grid. Addressed is the problem of distribution system protection with the introduction of cogeneration sources and the changes and modifications which may be required in the application of present-day protection devices. A sample system is considered, and system protection and coordination with and without cogeneration has been calculated through a digital fault and system protection coordination program. The results indicate through the study …

Limiting Efficiencies For Multiple Energy-Gap Quantum Devices, Cheng-Hsiao Wu, Richard M. Williams Nov 1983

Limiting Efficiencies For Multiple Energy-Gap Quantum Devices, Cheng-Hsiao Wu, Richard M. Williams

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

We have used a thermodynamic model to calculate theoretical limiting efficiencies for simple and multiple gap solar cells. The limiting efficiency is 26% for a simple solar cell of hydrogenated amorphous silicon, operating at one Sun sensitivity. For a multiple gap cell made from hydrogenated amorphous silicon, together with a second cell, made from a material with lower band gap, it is 38%. The optimum band gap for the second material is 1.0 eV.

The Application Of Bond Graphs To Electrical Machinery And Power Engineering, K. Sirivadhna, Earl F. Richards, Max Darwin Anderson Jan 1983

The Application Of Bond Graphs To Electrical Machinery And Power Engineering, K. Sirivadhna, Earl F. Richards, Max Darwin Anderson

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The bond graph technique, which has been related almost entirely to the field of mechanics, is a modeling procedure where emphasis is placed on the flow of power and energy in a system. Through specific digital simulation programs such as ENPORT IV and V and THTSIM the state space representation, associated output equations and system dynamic response are directly obtainable from the bond graphs. This approach has a great advantage where a complex system is composed of electrical, mechanical, thermal, hydraulic or pneumatic subsystems, such as would exist, for example; in a boiler, turbine, generator exciter system together with its …

Considerations In Developing And Utilizing Operator Training Simulators, T. E. Dyliacco, M. K. Enns, J. D. Schoeffler, J. J. Quada, D. L. Rosa, C. W. Jurkoshek, Max Darwin Anderson

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Effective electric system operation depends on strengthening the relationship between the system operator and the electrical system with its associated control system. This relationship can be developed through a training medium which increases the operator's knowledge of the behavior of the power system under various operating conditions and contingencies, and its response to control actions. An Operator Training Simulator (OTS), which simulates the static and dynamic responses of the operator's power system and his control system, can accomplish these training objectives. The concepts developed in this paper are based on the work of the project team through funding by the …

Estimation Of Ocean Wave Wavenumber And Propagation Direction From Limited Synthetic Aperture Radar Data., Gordon E. Carlson Jan 1983

Estimation Of Ocean Wave Wavenumber And Propagation Direction From Limited Synthetic Aperture Radar Data., Gordon E. Carlson

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

A method for estimating wavenumber and propagation direction for the dominant wave component in an ocean wave field from a few scans of synthetic aperture radar data is described and analyzed. The use of just a few radar scans rather than a complete image reduces data storage requirements significantly. The analysis shown uses actual synthetic aperture radar data and provides parameter tradeoffs and statistical performance results. While reasonable estimates of wavenumber and propagation direction are achieved in some cases, the estimates are not sufficiently consistent to be satisfactory over a wide range of cases. The primary problem is one of …

Deposition Of Cdte By Spray Pyrolysis, Jack L. Boone, Thomas P. Van Doren, Alok K. Berry

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

We report the spray pyrolysis of thin films of CdTe which show promise as a base material for solar cell applications. The films predominately show a zinc blende structure and appear to be intrinsic. Microprobe analysis indicates an excess of cadmium but this is not detectable by X-ray diffraction or from electrical conduction measurements. Measurements indicate a nominal direct bandgap of 1.47 eV and an absorption coefficient of the order of 104 cm−1. The room temperature electrical resistivity is of the order of 107 Ω cm.

An Analytical Method For Quantifying The Electrical Space Heating Component Of A Cold Load Pick Up, Walter W. Lang, Max Darwin Anderson, David R. Fannin

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

After an extended cold weather outage on a distribution circuit supplying a high saturation of electrical space heating, large transient overcurrent's persist for several hours because of the undiversified heating load. In this paper, the electrical space heating component of enduring demand is characterized by a smooth curve. Expressions are derived for the parameters of the curve in terms of the outage conditions and a statistical description of the residences. A method is suggested for using this characterization to determine the effects of a cold load pick up on the distribution circuit components. Copyright © 1982 by The Institute of …


An Optimal Control Law By Eigenvalue Assignment For Improved Dynamic Stability In Power Systems, A. B.R. Kumar, Earl F. Richards Jan 1982

An Optimal Control Law By Eigenvalue Assignment For Improved Dynamic Stability In Power Systems, A. B.R. Kumar, Earl F. Richards

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Whenever control laws are computed on the basis of linear optimal control theory and implemented on non-linear systems, such as power systems, the performance is not as good as expected because of saturation type non-linearities in the system components. The only way to ensure that a control law is adequate, short of actually testing the real system, is to observe the simulated behavior of the system. Departure between a calculated linear control law and the actual response can be minimized by (a) computing a feedback control law with gains of small magnitudes to achieve a pre-assigned set of eigenvalues for …


Conversion And Matched Filter Approximations For Serial Minimum-Shift Keyed Modulation, Carl R. Ryan, James H. Stilwell, Rodger E. Ziemer Jan 1982

Conversion And Matched Filter Approximations For Serial Minimum-Shift Keyed Modulation, Carl R. Ryan, James H. Stilwell, Rodger E. Ziemer

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Serial minimum-shift keyed (MSK) modulation, a technique for generating and detecting MSK using series filtering, is ideally suited for high data rate applications provided the required conversion and matched filters can be closely approximated. Low-pass implementations of these filters as parallel inphase-and quadrature-mixer structures are characterized in this paper in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) degradation from ideal and envelope deviation. Several hardware implementation techniques utilizing microwave devices or lumped elements are presented. Optimization of parameter values results in realizations whose SNR degradation is less than 0.5 dB at error probabilities of 10-6. © 1982 IEEE

The problem of creating a practical computational tool to perform transient contingency analysis in a power system control center is considered. The computer program developed may be used in a control center computer where a state estimation program or a consistent set of load flow data is available. It can be run on a periodic basis over a previously specified contingency list, or it can be called by the system operator to analyze a particular contingency. The transient behavior of the system is evaluated based on a simulation technique widely acknowledged for its fast solutions. The method uses rapidly convergent …

Performance Of Third Harmonic Ground Fault Protection Schemes For Generator Stator Windings, R. L. Schlake, G. W. Buckley, George Mcpherson

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The paper shows how the normally generated third-harmonic voltage can be used to protect the lower ten to twenty percent of generator stator windings against ground faults. A method of determining the applicability of the scheme to a given machine is described which takes into account the design of the generator and its externally connected apparatus. The effects of finite resistence ground faults are also investigated and other advantages of the scheme, such as protection of the neutral, are also highlighted.
