A Study on Photocatalytic Oxidation of Aqueous Chlorobenzene Solution by Nanostructured Film of TiO2Cheng, Jen-hao 07 September 2004 (has links)
In This study a thin film of nanometric TiO2 was sol-gel prepared and used for heterogeneous photocatalytic reaction to treat chlorobenzene in testing solution and to evaluate its removal efficiency. Conventionally, the material of photocatalyst was mainly fabricated in form of powder used in the suspension system. Although TiO2 powder has a high specific surface area for heterogeneous photocatalysis, it still leaves a great number of suspended solids in solution awaiting proper handling after the treatment is completed. Also, such suspended solids would pose ¡§shielding¡¨ effect from UV light, and thus affected the efficiency of photocatalytic degradation. To overcome this drawback, a proper mesh size of stainless steel webnet was first selected as a treatment substrate and TiO2 dip-coated, followed by calcination at 500¢J. The end product was used as the TiO2 photocatalytic film for this study. The film of TiO2, verified as anatase type of crystal lattice by XRD and SEM, contained particle sizes ranging from 10 to 20 nm. A solution containing chlorobenzene was used in the study to assess the extent of photocatalytic degradation by UV/TiO2 film. The test was to evaluate the effects of the number of dip-coating and calcining (thickness), initial pH, UV light intensity (@365 nm), and applied electric voltage on photocatalytic removal of chlorobenzene in the solution. The test results indicated that TiO2 film was capable of degrading chlorobenzene; however, enhancement of the degradation efficiency was found to be needed. It was also found that the degradation rate of chlorobezene increased with an increasing thickness of the film and UV light intensity. The pH of test solution was found to be insensitive to degradation of chlorobenzene, probably due to its non-dissociation nature. It was found that electric voltage exerted was unable to prevent electrons and holes from re-combining, and a negative effect of external voltage was even observed. Therefore, it was believed that voltage exertion was not beneficial to phtocatalysis in this study. Kinetics of the tests in this study assumed a pseudo-first-order reaction, which resulted in a rate constant k' = 1.3¡Ñ10-5¡]min-1¡^. The reaction rate was found to be proportional to the 0.7507 order of UV light intensity.

Analysis And Development Of Voltage Stability Assessment MethodsMahesh, S 06 1900 (has links) (PDF)
Voltage stability is the ability of the power system to maintain steady acceptable voltages at all the buses in a system under normal operating conditions and after being subjected to a disturbance. The increased consumption of electricity without the augmentation of the necessary transmission infrastructure has resulted in the overloading of the transmission lines. As a result, the transmission lines operate near the steady state stability limit. The transmission of large amounts of power through the lines results in the large voltage drops in the lines. Sudden disturbances like line or generator outage and fault in the transmission lines may occur because of natural or man made causes. Under the above mentioned conditions, the transmission system may not be able to supply the load demand. This results in drops in the system bus voltages which may be sudden or progressive. If the necessary remedial measures are not taken, then this may lead to blackout or collapse of the whole system. As a result of a number of voltage stability incidents reported from various countries, there is a widespread interest in understanding, characterizing and preventing this phenomena. This thesis is essentially concerned with analyzing the existing methods and the development of new methods for the assessment of voltage stability of power systems.
We examine four existing methods for assessing voltage stability with regard to the computational effort involved in their calculation, the useful information we get by using them, their relative effectiveness in assessing the voltage stability and their consistency in predicting the voltage stability of the system. We also study the impact of the system conditions on several of these indices. Further, we propose a set of new indices which provide information similar to the conventional indices but are slightly different. The generalized circle diagram approach proposed earlier to study the variation of the system variables with respect to the independent node parameters is shown to be adoptable for finding the voltage stability limit of a system. It has been shown that the well known continuation power flow method used for voltage stability analysis is identical to the generalized circle diagram approach. A computationally simple approach, based on the Thevenin equivalent of the power system is used to determine the loadability limit of a system. In the continuation power flow method, it is inherently assumed that only one generator responds to the real power load increase of the system. However, an alternate view is presented where all the generators respond to the real power increase in the system and an algorithm is proposed to realize this condition. Using this algorithm, the generation pattern of the system is modified so as to increase the loadability limit of the system considerably.
The origin of the voltage instability in power systems can be traced to the load characteristics. Induction motors constitute a significant proportion of the total industrial and residential loads. Two algorithms that are useful to study the voltage stability of systems having induction machines have been presented and validated. These methods are based on the induction machine static equations. The first method is useful in assessing the impact of network disturbances on voltage stability and the second facilitates the computation of the loadability limit. A criterion has been proposed to find the stability limit, stable and unstable operating regions for a system considering various types of induction motor loads on the basis of which, a practical algorithm is proposed and validated to determine the stability of the induction motors driving different types of loads in a large power system. In addition, a method is developed to determine the stability aspects when the constant torque loads and the constant input power loads driven by induction motors operate in a power system, which contains other types of loads like the constant P - Q type of loads. Switching capacitors at the induction motor terminals is one of the ways by which voltage instability occurring due to the induction motor loads can be prevented. A new technique is proposed wherein knowing the capacitance and the slip at the instant of switching, the rotor dynamics following the switching and the existence of a steady state operating point following the switching can be predicted. This approach can be used to choose appropriate capacitances to be switched at the induction motor terminals to prevent its stalling following a sudden load disturbance.

Estudo de células de cristais líquidos termotrópicos calamíticos nemáticos e suas aplicações como sensores eletro-ópticos de tensões elétricas / not availableCosta, Marcos Rodrigues 06 October 2000 (has links)
Esta pesquisa mostrou a viabilidade técnica da utilização de células de cristais líquidos nemáticos (CLNs) como elementos sensores eletro-ópticos de tensões elétricas eficazes (RMS). Duas foram as filosofias abordadas na concepção desses sensores: a modulação em amplitude da intensidade da luz polariza atuando em células transmissivas e a tensão de Freedericksz atuando em células reflexivas. Os sensores baseados na primeira filosofia foram denominados, nesta pesquisa, de sensores de escala de cinza (EC) e os segundos de sensores de gráfico de barras (GB). O sensor EC foi desenvolvido para aplicações em altas tensões. Este sensor é constituído por um divisor de tensão capacitivo, onde o braço de baixa tensão é composto por uma célula de cristal nemático torcida (CLNT). O sensor EC alia as vantagens dos tradicionais sistemas eletro-ópticos, tais como a imunidade às interferências eletromagnéticas (IEM); o alto isolamento elétrico proporcionado pela fibra óptica; com as vantagens de ser um sistema com um simples aparato óptico, então indutivo. O sensor GB mostrou-se mais versátil que o sensor EC. Neste sensor o braço de alta tensão do divisor de tensão capacitivo foi confeccionado na própria célula. Além disso, o sensor GB é menos sensível a influências térmicas, sendo neste caso mais indicado para aplicações de campo. Além das vantagens citadas acima, os sensores desenvolvidos apresentam as características de possuírem baixo custo, facilidade de instalação, versatilidade e empregarem tecnologia nacional. Também neste trabalho, foram estudados e determinados modelo físicos e elétricos que melhor representam o comportamento das células de CLNs. Os modelos físicos permitiram expandir o conhecimento sobre o comportamento de dispersão dielétrica presente nestes materiais devido ao movimento de impurezas iônicas; ao movimento molecular, e ao acúmulo de cargas espaciais nas interfaces entre as camadas de alinhamento e o cristal líquido, e também, auxiliaram na compreensão dos parâmetros físicos que influenciam no comportamento anisotrópico da permissividade dielétrica e da condutividade elétrica dos CLNs. Os modelos elétricos, além de auxiliarem na compreensão dos mecanismos físicos auxiliando com isso a proposição de modelos fenomenológicos, também mostraram-se uma poderosa ferramenta a ser aplicada na otimização de processos de fabricação e no desenvolvimento de dispositivos utilizados na confecção de mostradores de informação (LCDs). Estes modelos elétricos foram testados e utilizados em programas computacionais dedicados à simulação de circuitos elétricos, e puderam auxiliar sobremaneira no desenvolvimento do sensor GB. / In this research the technical viability of the usage of nematic liquid crystal (NLC) cells as sensor elements of effective electric voltage (RMS) is presented. Two approaches were adopted for the conception of these sensors: the modulation in width of the intensity of the polarized light acting in transmissive cells and the voltage of Freedericksz acting in reflexive cells. The sensors based on the first approach were termed grayscale sensors and the second were bargraph sensors. A grayscale sensor was developed for applications in high voltage. This sensor is constituted by a capacitor voltage divider, where the low voltage arm is composed of a cell of twisted nematic liquid crystal (TNLC). The grayscale sensor combines the advantages of traditional electro-optical systems, such as immunity to the electro-magnetic-interference (EMI) and the high electric insulation provided by the optical fiber; associated to characteristics of being a simple optical apparatus and a non-inductive system. The bargraph sensor has shown to be more versatile than the grayscale sensor. In this bargraph sensor the high voltage arm of the capacitor voltage divider was built in the CLNT cell itself, facilitating its use in both high and low voltages. Besides, the bargraph sensor is less sensitive to thermal influences, being in this case more suitable to field applications. In addition to the advantages mentioned above, both sensors developed showed characteristics of low cost, installation easiness, versatility and indigenous technology. Due to the need of establishing parameters for the development of the electric voltage sensor, also in this research, physical and electric models that best represent the behavior of NLC cells were obtained. The physical models allowed expanding the knowledge about the behavior of dielectric dispersion present in these materials due to the movement of ionic impurities, molecular movement, and the accumulation of space charge in the interfaces between the alignment layers and the liquid crystal. These models have also contributed to the understanding of the physical parameters that influence the anisotropic behavior of both dielectric permittivity and electric conductivity of NLCs. Besides, the electric models helped in the understanding of the physical mechanisms aiding in the proposition of phenomenological models. They have also proved to be a powerful tool to be applied in the optimization of production processes, as well as in the development of devices used in liquid crystal displays (LCDs). These electric models were tested and used in software for the simulation of electric circuits and could aid greatly in the development of bargraph sensors.

Καταγραφή και ανάλυση συστήματος αυτοματοποιημένης παροχής ηλεκτρικών τάσεων στο εργαστήριο ηλεκτρομηχανικής μετατροπής ενέργειας : προτάσεις για την αναβάθμισή τουΓκαντζιός, Αθανάσιος 19 January 2010 (has links)
Το 1987 στο Τμήμα Ηλεκτρολόγων Μηχανικών και Τεχνολογίας Υπολογιστών του Πανεπιστημίου Πατρών και συγκεκριμένα στο Εργαστήριο Ηλεκτρομηχανικής Μετατροπής Ενέργειας του Τμήματος Ηλεκτρολόγων Μηχανικών, στα πλαίσια εκπαιδευτικών και ερευνητικών σκοπών, εγκαταστάθηκε ένα πλήρες αυτοματοποιημένο σύστημα παράγωγης και παροχής ηλεκτρικών τάσεων. Το σύστημα εξελίχθηκε, κατασκευάστηκε και τοποθετήθηκε από την εταιρεία Α.S.E.A-A.B.B.. Σκοπός του συστήματος ήταν η παροχή 10 διαφορετικών τύπων τάσεων σε 15 συγκεκριμένες θέσεις εργασίας στο χώρο του Εργαστηρίου. Το Σύστημα ήταν πλήρως αυτοματοποιημένο, καθώς χρησιμοποιήθηκε Προγραμματιζόμενος Λογικός Ελεγκτής (P.L.C.), που ήταν επιφορτισμένος με τον έλεγχο, την εποπτεία και τη διαχείριση του Συστήματος. Επίσης υπήρχε Προσωπικός Ηλεκτρονικός Υπολογιστής άμεσα συνδεδεμένος στο σύστημα, μέσω του οποίου ο διαχειριστής του μπορούσε να παρακολουθεί, να διαχειρίζεται και να διανέμει τον κάθε τύπο από τις προσφερόμενες παροχές . Δυστυχώς, το σύστημα με την πάροδο του χρόνου εμφάνισε βασικά λειτουργικά προβλήματα, με αποτέλεσμα να μειωθεί δραστικά ο αριθμός των παρεχόμενων τύπων τάσεων, αλλά και η ικανότητα διαχείρισης και διανομής αυτών που παρέχονταν. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, το τμήμα τoυ Προγραμματιζόμενoυ Λογικού Ελεγκτή (P.L.C.) και του συνδεδεμένου Η/Υ του συστήματος ουσιαστικά και πρακτικά είχε τεθεί πλέον πλήρως εκτός λειτουργίας. Η διαχείριση και διανομή των όσων παροχών διατίθενται ακόμη γίνεται με τη χρήση κλασσικών διακοπτών σε μια κονσόλα, που έχει κατασκευαστεί ξεχωριστά και έχει ενσωματωθεί στο αρχικό σύστημα. Αποτέλεσμα αυτού ήταν η μείωση των τύπων τάσεων που παρέχονται, όπως προαναφέραμε , αλλά και η παντελής έλλειψη ελέγχου και εποπτείας της λειτουργίας του συστήματος. Στόχος και σκοπός της παρούσας διπλωματικής εργασίας ήταν η λύση των προβλημάτων του προαναφερθέντος συστήματος με τελικό αποτέλεσμα την κανονική και ομαλή λειτουργία του. Η λύση που προτείνεται είναι η υλοποίηση και η ενσωμάτωση ενός σύγχρονου δικτύου αυτοματισμού με τη χρήση σύγχρονων P.L.C. καθώς και η ενσωμάτωση ενός συστήματος εποπτικού και διαχειριστικού ελέγχου, λογισμικό τύπου SCADΑ. Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία υπάρχει πλήρης περιγραφή και ανάλυση του συστήματος. Αναλύονται διεξοδικά, τόσο ο τρόπος παραγωγής των τάσεων με τα αντίστοιχα κυκλώματα ισχύος, όσο και ο τρόπος διανομής και διαχείρισης αυτών με τα αντίστοιχα κυκλώματα αυτοματισμού. Εμπεριέχονται εκτενείς αναφορές στα σύγχρονα P.L.C., στον τρόπο λειτουργίας και προγραμματισμού τους καθώς και στον τρόπο με τον οποίο είναι δυνατό να ενσωματωθούν και να λειτουργήσουν στο υπάρχον σύστημα. Επίσης μελετάται ο τρόπος με τον οποίο θα δημιουργηθεί και θα υλοποιηθεί το παραπάνω δίκτυο αυτοματισμού με τη χρήση των P.L.C. και με την παρουσία του εποπτικού συστήματος SCADA. Τέλος δίδονται συγκεκριμένες απαντήσεις τόσο για τον τύπο και το μοντέλο των P.L.C., που είναι απαραίτητα για την υλοποίηση, όσο και για το τον τύπο και τον τρόπο χρήσης του απαραίτητου πακέτου λογισμικού SCADA. / -

Load Commutated SCR Current Source Inverter Fed Induction Motor Drive With Sinusoidal Motor Voltage And CurrentBanerjee, Debmalya 01 July 2008 (has links)
This thesis deals with modeling, simulation and implementation of Load Commutated SCR based current source Inverter (LCI) fed squirrel cage induction motor drive with sinusoidal voltage and sinusoidal current. In the proposed system, the induction motor is fed by an LCI. A three level diode clamped voltage source inverter (VSI) is connected at the motor terminal with ac chokes connected in series with it. The VSI currents are controlled in such a manner that it injects the reactive current demanded by the induction motor and the LCI for successful commutation of the SCRs in the LCI. Additionally, it absorbs the harmonic frequency currents to ensure that the induction motor draws sinusoidal current. As a result, the nature of the motor terminal voltage is also sinusoidal.
The concept of load commutation of the SCRs in the LCI feeding an induction motor load is explained with necessary waveforms and phasor diagrams. The necessity of reactive compensation by the active filter connected at the motor terminal for the load commutation of the thyristors, is elaborated with the help of analytical equations and phasor diagrams. The requirement of harmonic compensation by the same active filter to achieve sinusoidal motor current and motor voltage, is also described. Finally, to achieve the aforementioned induction motor drive, the VA ratings of the active filter (VSI) and the CSI with respect to VA rating of the motor, are determined theoretically. The proposed drive scheme is simulated under idealized condition. Simulation results show good steady state and dynamic response of the drive system. Load commutation of the SCRs in the LCI and the sinusoidal profile of motor current and voltage, have been demonstrated.
As in LCI fed synchronous motor drives, a special mode of operation is required to run up the induction motor from standstill. As the SCRs of the LCI are load commutated, they need motor terminal voltages for commutation. At standstill these voltages are zero. So, a starting strategy has been proposed and adopted to start the motor with the aid of the current controlled VSI to accelerate until the motor terminal voltages are high enough for the commutation of the SCRs in the LCI.
The proposed drive is implemented on an experimental setup in the laboratory. The IGBT based three level diode clamped VSI has been fabricated following the design of the standard module in the laboratory. A generalized digital control platform is also developed using a TMS320F2407A DSP. Two, three phase thyristor bridges with necessary firing pulse circuits have been used as the phase controlled rectifier and the LCI respectively. Appropriate protection scheme for such a drive is developed and adopted to operate the drive. Relevant experimental results are presented. They are observed to be in good agreement with the simulation results.
The effect of capacitors connected at the output of the LCI in the commutation process of the SCRs in the LCI is studied and analyzed. From the analysis, it is understood that the capacitors form a parallel resonating pair with filter inductor and the motor leakage inductance, which results in an undesired oscillation in the terminal voltage during each of the commutation intervals leading to commutation failure. So, in the final system, the capacitors are removed to eliminate any chance of commutation failure of the SCRs in the LCI. It is shown by experiment that the commutation of the SCRs takes place reliably in the absence of the capacitors also. The commutation process is studied and analyzed without the capacitors to understand the motor terminal voltage waveform of the experimental results.
