Basic Study on Islanding Detection Method for PV Systems by Harmonic Impedance Detection in Case of Including Induction Motor in Load System

It is important that photovoltaic (PV) systems detect islanding caused by power system faults to ensure electrical safety. Thus we propose a novel islanding detection method which detects the harmonic impedance by injecting harmonic currents synchronized with the exciting current harmonics of the pole transformer. For the case in which an induction motor load is included in the load system, basic experiments on islanding detection and simulation analysis are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Uncertain variance in an optimal linear system with white gain

For scalar quadratic optimal linear systems with a white gain coefficient, the influence of the uncertainty of the gain variance is analysed by means of elementary methods. First, the mean-square stability of the closed loop systems is analysed on the assumption that the controller is designed with an erroneous variance. It is shown that the use of an overestimated value of the variance less than a threshold value, which is infinite for the stable free systems, does not damage the stability of closed-loop systems. A relative underestimation error bound guaranteeing the stability of closed-loop systems is obtained. Secondly, performance of the controller designed with an erroneous variance is compared analytically with that of the certainty equivalence controller. An explicit relative overestimation error bound on the variance guaranteeing the superiority of the controller over the certainty equivalence controller is obtained.

EFFECTS OF VARIOUS INGREDIENTS ON THE TEXTURE OF MILK JELLY

Effects of various ingredients on the texture of milk jellies prepared from gellan gum, milk powder, sweetener were examined using a sensory test and physical measuring apparatus. The data were analyzed by use of the modification ofScheffé's mixture experiment method in rectangular experimental area in the Scheffé's triangle. "Hardness" and "smoothness" of milk jellies estimated by a subjective method were influenced by the content of gellan gum. The evaluations of "milk flavor" and "sweetness" estimated by a subjective method were varied with the content of sweetener and evaluated as higher for softer milk jellies. The correlation coefficients between "hardness" estimated by a subjective method and "smoothness", "milk flavor", and "sweetness" estimated by a subjective method were negative.

Alpha-Helical Structure of Fish Actomyosin: Changes during Setting

Participation of the α-helix in setting was investigated using circular dichroism. The α-helicity of the actomyosin from eight species of fish decreased during incubation at 30°C or at 40°C. The extent and pattern of decrease differed among species. When rate of decrease was plotted vs rate of increase in strength of gel preincubated at 30°C or at 40°C, the two factors correlated closely. We propose that the unfolding of α-helix initiated setting.     

Prediction of corrosion fatigue lives of aluminium alloy on the basis of corrosion pit growth law

Tension‐compression and rotating‐bending fatigue tests were carried out using aluminium alloy 2024‐T3, in 3% NaCl solution. The corrosion pit growth characteristics, and also the fatigue crack initiation and propagation behaviour were investigated in detail. The results obtained are summarized as follows: (i) Most of corrosion fatigue life (60–80%) is occupied with a period of corrosion pit growth at low‐stress amplitude. The corrosion pit growth law can be expressed as functions of stress amplitude σ_a and an elapsed time t. (ii) The critical stress intensity factor for crack initiation from the corrosion pit was determined as 0.25 . This value is the same as the threshold stress intensity factor range for crack propagation. (iii) Corrosion fatigue life can be estimated on the basis of corrosion pit growth law and crack propagation law. The estimated fatigue lives agree well with the experimental data.     

Development of Electrolytic Capacitor Less Photovoltaic Grid Connected Inverter with Boost‐Up Type Active Buffer Circuit

This paper proposes a configuration of a single‐phase voltage source inverter that features power decoupling capability. Generally, the converter connected to a single‐phase grid employs bulky dc link capacitors such as electrolytic capacitors in order to decouple the power ripple with twice the frequency of the power supply. The power ripple in the proposed circuit is compensated by an active buffer with small capacitors. In this paper, the fundamental operations of the proposed converter are confirmed by experimental results. From the experimental results, the output current total harmonic distortion (THD) is 3.51%, the ratio of the input current is 14.3%, and the output power factor is over 99%. In addition, the volume of the proposed circuit is reduced by 61% when the carrier frequency is 64 kHz compared to that with a carrier frequency of 16 kHz. Finally, from an evaluation of the power density using Pareto front curves, the proposed circuit achieves high power density in comparison with the conventional circuit.
