Synthesis of a stabilizing control problem for a multimachine power system with phase shifter

A systematic procedure is considered for the synthesis of a stabilizing control method for a multimachine power system with phase shifter, taking into account the velocity governor. A new approach is presented, which uses a coordinate-transformation technique and an optimization technique. The application of this method to a stabilizing control problem for a power system is illustrated by considering a 3-machine power system with phase-shifter control, taking into account an additional control vector for the governing system with one time constant. The synthesized controls are then used to improve the power-system transient stability to a remarkable degree and to restore the power-system transients rapidly to the stable-equilibrium point. Numerical results arc given.     

微波场中加热高钛高炉渣的数值模拟

利用微波加热技术在高钛高炉渣内引发裂纹的实验过程中发现炉渣局部区域发生热失控现象.为探寻高钛高炉渣在微波场中产生热失控的原因,使用 FEMAP 和 wave-jω 软件计算了在多模式微波炉中高钛高炉渣及其周围空间内微波场和热三维分布情况,并对比研究了钙钛矿相和普通高炉渣吸收微波的能力.通过计算结果可知几乎所有的微波能都集中在被加热的高钛高炉渣试样中,即微波具有加热高钛渣自身而非周围环境的特点.另外,高钛高炉渣试样中微波场分布不均匀,且分散在炉渣中的钙钛矿相比其他矿物相更易被微波加热.以上 2 因素作用下微波加热高钛高炉渣时局部区域发生热失控现象.     

Testing Composite Hypotheses for Locally Stationary Processes

For a class of locally stationary processes introduced by Dahlhaus, this paper discusses the problem of testing composite hypotheses. First, for the Gaussian likelihood ratio test (GLR), Wald test (W) and Lagrange multiplier test (LM), we derive the limiting distribution under a composite hypothesis in parametric form. It is shown that the distribution of GLR, W and LM tends to a χ² distribution under the hypothesis. We also evaluate their local powers under a sequence of local alternatives, and discuss their asymptotic optimality. The results can be applied to testing for stationarity. Some examples are given. They illuminate the local power property via simulation. On the other hand, we provide a nonparametric LAN theorem. Based on this result, we obtain the limiting distribution of the GLR under both null and alternative hypotheses described in nonparametric form. Finally, the numerical studies are given.     

Vacuum Insulation and Achievement of 980 keV, 185 A/m~2 H-Ion Beam Acceleration at JAEA for the ITER Neutral Beam Injector

Vacuum insulation of 1 MV is a common issue for the HV bushing and the accel- erator for the ITER neutral beam injector (NBI). The HV bushing as an insulating feedthrough has a five-stage structure and each stage consists of double-layered insulators. To sustain 1 MV in vacuum, reduction of electric field at several triple points existing around the double-layered insulators is a critical issue. To reduce electric field simultaneously at these points, three types of stress ring have been developed. In a voltage holding test of a full-scale mockup equipped with these stress rings, 120% of rated voltage was sustained and the voltage holding capability required in ITER was verified. In the MeV accelerator, whose target is the acceleration of a H ion beam of 1 MeV, 200 A/m 2 , the gap between the grid support was extended to suppress breakdowns triggered by electric field concentration at the edge and corner of the grid support. This modi- fication improved the voltage holding capability in vacuum, and the MeV accelerator succeeded in sustaining 1 MV stably. Furthermore, it appeared that the H ions beam was deflected and a part of the beam was intercepted at the acceleration grid. This causes high heat load on the grids and breakdowns during beam acceleration. To suppress the direct interception, a new grid was designed with proper aperture displacement based on a three dimensional beam trajectory analysis. As a result, 980 keV, 185 A/m 2 H ion beam acceleration has been demonstrated, which is close to the ITER requirement.     

Combustion Synthesized Porous Body of Fe3O4/Al System by Controlled Microwave Heating and Heating Behavior of the Products

Microwave-induced substitutional combustion reaction was utilized to fabricate porous ceramic composite from Fe₃O₄/Al powder mixtures.The porous composite body was obtained by controlling the combustion reaction progress in a 2.45 GHz single mode applicator.Prior to the fabrication of the porous body,heating behavior of the powder mixtures were studied in the separated electric（E）and magnetic（H）fields.In addition,heating ability of the microwave fabricated porous product was also investigated.Fe₃O₄powder can be heated up easily in both maximum H and E field,but a better heating was observed in the maximum H field.Regardless of the mixtures ratio（mixing compositions）,maximum H field shows better heating characteristics.In E-field heating,temperature of the Fe₃O₄ samples decreased sharply when Al powder was added.However,the same phenomenon was not observed in the maximum H field heating.Thus,fabrication of the porous composite body was carrying out in maximum H field.Through an adequate control of the reaction progress,products with a porous structure consisting of well-distributed metal particles in the alumina and/or hercynite matrix were obtained.Consequently,heating of the fabricated porous composite body was also been successfully carried out in the maximum H field.Product phases and microstructure were the main factors influencing the heating ability of the porous composite body.

A Commutation Overlap Period Reduction Method Expanding the Buck Operating Range for a Bidirectional Isolated DC–DC Converter

This paper proposes a bidirectional isolated DC–DC converter with an active clamp circuit and two novel control methods in the buck mode. A circulating current reduction method decreases the conduction loss. A commutation overlap period reduction method maintains the output power by expanding the maximum actual duty cycle even if the input voltage decreases. The experimental results show that the proposed method increased the maximum output 1.5 times, without increasing the voltage applied to the low‐voltage side MOSFETs under the minimum input voltage condition. A 2‐kW class prototype showed a higher than 90% efficiency over a wide operating range for a greater than 20 input–output voltage ratio at 100‐kHz switching frequency.     

Cost‐Benefit Analysis of Renewable Installation in Inter‐Intelligent Renewable Energy Network

In this paper, we target the specific smart grid concept called “inter‐intelligent renewable energy network (i‐Rene),” which is characteristically associated with photovoltaic (PV) panels, microstorage, and regional electricity markets. In this smart grid, every house has an artificial intelligence agent that learns the optimal treading strategy to minimize payments by residents. From the economic standpoint, we perform a cost‐benefit analysis (CBA) of the optimal installation of PV panels and microstorage in this smart grid. To perform the CBA, we use actual measured values of power demand profiles and power production profiles, which were obtained in 2010 at Shiga, Japan. In accordance with this analysis, we also discuss the necessary conditions for achieving grid parity of the i‐Rene smart grid .
