A novel fast distance relay for series compensated transmission lines

This paper presents a fast distance relay for series compensated transmission lines based on the R–L differential-equation algorithm using the theory of equal transfer process of transmission lines. The measuring distances based on the proposed algorithm can fast approach the actual value of fault distance when a fault occurs in front of the series capacitor. When a fault occurs behind of the series capacitor, the fault loop, including the series capacitor, does not match the R–L transmission line model, so the measuring distances fluctuate severely. Based on this, the relative position of the fault with respect to the series capacitor can be judged effectively according to the fluctuation range of the measuring distances, and the accurate fault location can be obtained fast. A variety of PSCAD/EMTDC simulation tests show that the new relay has fast operating speed and high accuracy when applied to the long series compensated transmission lines.     

Preparation of dense β-CaSiO3 ceramic with high mechanical strength and HAp formation ability in simulated body fluid

In present study, dense CaSiO₃ (CS) ceramics have been fabricated through spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique using β-CS powder prepared by chemical precipitation method. The β-CS ceramic sintered at 950 °C has a relative density of about 95% and shows a fine microstructure with an average grain size of 0.6 μm, thus expresses good bending strength of about 294 MPa. The simulated body fluid (SBF) immersion tests show that the dense β-CS ceramic has a high hydroxyapatite (HAp) formation rate on its surface. The HAp layer formed on the CS ceramic surface has a granular structure consisting of silkworm-like HAp grains, and the thickness of HAp and Si-rich layer are 70 and 120 μm, respectively.     

Development of an adaptive fuzzy logic-based inverse dynamic model for laser cladding process

The precision, performance, and robustness of model-based controllers depend, to a large extent, on the accuracy of the inverse dynamic model which is incorporated in the design of the controller. Due to complex nature of the laser cladding process and presence of time-varying uncertainties, derivation of an accurate mathematical inverse dynamic model of the process is very difficult, and involves many unknown parameters. The inverse dynamic model of the complex nonlinear laser cladding process, which is difficult to be described mathematically, can be described by a fuzzy logic-based inverse dynamic model constructed form input–output data. In this paper, the development of an adaptive fuzzy inverse dynamic model of the laser cladding process, using a systematic fuzzy modelling approach is presented. In a closed-loop laser cladding process, the scanning speed of the substrate is required to produce a clad with desired geometry and quality. In this paper, a fuzzy inverse dynamic model that describes the scanning speed as a function of the cladding parameters in particular the clad height is developed. The developed fuzzy model is validated by comparing the model output with experimental data. The results are very promising and show that fuzzy models can accurately describe the process dynamics.

Effect of lubricants on warm compaction process of Cu-based composite

The use of lubricant is the key of warm compaction technology. Because of admixed different lubricants, the optimal parameters of warm compaction process were also different. This paper investigated the effect of two kind of lubricants (zinc stearate and polystyrene) on the parameters of warm compaction process by compared properties of Cu-based composite. It was shown that with the rise of compacting pressure, the density and hardness of the Cu-based composite increased, but the resistivity and gaining weight reduced. With increasing compacting temperature, the density and hardness first increased and then decreased, but the trend of resistivity and gaining weight just reversed. For the samples admixed zinc stearate (ZS), the optimal admixed concentration was 0.4 wt%, and the sample prepared at 120 °C and 650 MPa had the highest density and hardness, the lowest resistivity and gaining weight. For the samples admixed polystyrene (PS), these parameters were 0.7 wt%, 140 °C and 650 MPa, respectively. The properties of samples admixed PS were superior to that of admixed ZS.

F−-Eu3+ charge transfer energy and local crystal environment in Eu3+ doped calcium fluoride

A series of CaF₂:xEu³⁺ (x = 0.01–0.05) phosphors were synthesized by coprecipitation and high temperature solid-state method. Three different F^--Eu³⁺ charge transfer (CT) bands in CaF₂:xEu³⁺ (x = 0.01–0.05) were detected through the PL spectra. Three local crystal environments (deformed O_h octahedron, C_3V, C_4V) were proposed in Eu³⁺ doped CaF₂. The broad peak at 277 nm is F^- → Eu³⁺ CT peak, in which Eu³⁺ ions located deformed O_h octahedron sites, the broad peak at 312 nm is due to Eu³⁺ ions situating at C_4v sites, also, Eu³⁺ ions with C_3v sites can make the F^- → Eu³⁺ CT produce a 38-nm redshift to 315 nm. Density functional theory (DFT) was performed to calculate the energy band gap(Eg) according to the three models. The calculation results consist with the experiment. The excitation peaks can be tuned in the same host through changing the local structure of Eu³⁺.     

Coordinated operation of wind turbines and flywheel storage for primary frequency control support

This work assesses the participation of wind power plants in primary frequency control support. To participate in frequency control-related tasks, the wind power plants have to maintain a certain level of power reserves. In this article, the wind power plant is equipped with a flywheel-based storage system to fulfil the power reserve requirements set by the network operator. The article focuses on two main aspects: the definition of the control strategy to derate the wind turbines to provide a part of the required power reserves; and the coordinated regulation of the power reserves of the wind turbines and the flywheels while participating in primary frequency control. This coordinated regulation enables the wind power plant to maintain the net level of power reserves set by the network operator while alleviating the need of deloading the wind turbines. The performance of the proposed control schemes are shown by simulation.

Investigation on delamination morphology during drilling composite laminates

Drilling-induced delamination of composite materials is a key factor that affects the quality of subsequent machining. To investigate the developing process of delamination, experiments with different drilling depth are conducted. In order to observe the delamination of different cross-sections in radial direction of the hole, the grinding method is adopted. Three-dimensional morphology of delamination at the exit of hole is obtained. The regularity of delamination with the change of drilling depth is analyzed, and the existence of “hidden delamination zone” is obtained finally. Due to the rebound effect of hole diameter and the inverted cone of drill guide section, the “hidden delamination zone” will be generated under the condition that the edge of delamination area is compressed tightly again. The critical thrust force of delamination is also studied, and it is proved to be correct.
