The current OpenModelica Complier (OMC) translates Modelica models into executable Ccodethrough several stages. The Code Generator is the final stage of the compiler whichgenerates target C-code from the optimized sorted equations. Recently, the Code Generator inOMC has been rewritten using the OpenModelica text template language. This gives a moreconcise and easier to understand code generator. Modeling and simulation is becomingincreasingly used in several application areas. There is demand for the OpenModelicaComplier (OMC) to generate code in languages like C#, CSharp, XML, JAVA and so on. Inthis thesis work, we implement a Java code generator to translate the internal equation-basedmodels in OpenModelica and its extension MetaModelica into a Java code representation. Tocreate the Java code generator we used the OpenModelica text template language, also calledSusan. This work is an important step on the way to finalize a full version of a Java CodeGenerator for the OpenModelica Complier (OMC).

Snow and glaciers are considered the most important sources of the estimated 32-60% of global water resources which are provided by mountains. Consequently, snow and glaciers have regularly been the focus of climate change studies in mountain regions. Rock glaciers are a type of ice-debris landform characterized by creeping ice-rich permafrost. Recognition of the hydrological significance of rock glaciers is increasing and is of particular relevance to the Arid Andes, where rock glaciers cover greater area than glaciers by an order of magnitude. Little research exists on the hydrological significance of rock glaciers beyond potential water storage capacities and their runoff pathways. Additional knowledge and research approaches pertaining to the seasonal hydrological contributions and climatic sensitivities of rock glaciers are necessary for improved water resource planning in many regions around the world. This work explored the feasibility of utilizing the energy and water balance model GEOtop to quantify the thermal and hydrological dynamics of rock glaciers under several climate scenarios. Weather data was generated with the intermediate-stochastic weather generator AWE-GEN for a site in the Southeast Swiss Alps, which marked a novel approach in studies of rock glaciers. Weather data for a reference (REF) scenario was generated which approximates conditions during the observation period (1985 to 2012). AWE-GEN produced time series of weather data for the REF scenario with statistical properties of precipitation in close agreement with observations. Air temperature had substantial inaccuracies with mean annual air temperature (MAAT) cooler by 1.82 C due to negative temperature biases in summer months which are attributed to difficulties in estimating parameters of the weather generator model caused by local climatic factors. The influence of climate change was also examined. Data for 8 climate change scenarios were generated by specifying change factors for mean monthly air temperature. MAAT in the climate change scenarios was within +/-0.12 C of the speci ed change factor from MAAT in the REF scenario. The thermal and hydrological evolution of rock glacier soils were simulated for 50 years under the climatic forcing of the REF scenario followed by 50 years under each climate change scenario. Mean annual ground surface temperature (MAGST), active layer depth (Dal), permafrost total ice content (IWEtot), and the potential summer runoff contribution (MELTsum) were quanti ed and compared before and after the onset of the climate change conditions. Air temperature increases in the climate change scenarios were amplified in MAGST. Stable rock glacier points were resistant to changes in Dal and IWEtot under any annual, summer, and winter mean air temperature increase of 1 C, and summer and winter mean air temperature increases of 3 C despite notable changes in MAGST and MELTsum. Under warming scenarios, the greatest increase in MELTsum occurred for high elevation rock glacier points with the mean possible runoff contribution increasing 88% under 3 C of warming, which corroborates with increased runoff from high elevation permafrost in the Colorado Rockies in recent decades.

The use of generator circuit breakers in power stations was investigated and evaluated. A feasibility study to determine if the additional capital cost required, when using a generator circuit breaker in a power station could be justified by the advantages it provides. The background to the study is provided through a technology and literature survey. Included in the technology review and the literature study is information on interruption mediums, the historic developments of circuit breakers and generator circuit breaker application theory. This data was used to determine the practicality of using a specific interruption medium within a generator circuit breaker application. The requirements of generator circuit breakers were determined and used to evaluate the interruption mediums in question. To ensure practical results, commonly used layouts were used to determine the effect of using a generator circuit breaker on the reliability, availability and the mean time to repair of a power station electrical distribution layout. Furthermore, the effect of the protection on the generator and generator transformer was evaluated. It was found that increased selectivity of the protection system by using a generator circuit breaker limits the extent of equipment damage in case of failure. Practical layouts were used to determine the effect on reliability. The analysis was conducted using assumed values of operational costs to determine the cost incurred through the change in reliability of the power station. By adding a generator circuit breaker, the station transformer and associated equipment is regarded as back-up or redundant equipment. This increases the reliability of the power station dramatically and limits the risk of income lost due to failures. The full evaluation included the estimation of the capital investment costs and the impact that the additional cost has on the operational requirements of a power station. The study determined that the capital cost required to use a generator circuit breaker results in no additional income for a power station. Through the increased protection, higher availability and the possible omission of power station ancillary equipment, the use of generator circuit breakers will result in more power being delivered and more income generated by a power station. The study proved that the generator circuit breaker is a critical part of a power station layout and is a necessary capital requirement to ensure the sustainability of the power station. / Thesis (M.Ing.

This research investigates a low-cost generator and power electronics unit for smallscale (<10kW) wind turbines, for both standalone and grid-connected applications. The proposed system uses a high-inductance permanent magnet generator together with a switched-mode rectifier (SMR) to produce a variable magnitude output current. The high inductance characteristic allows the generator to operate as a current source, which has the following advantages over conventional low-inductance generator (voltage source) systems: it offers simple control, and avoids the need for bulky / costly energy storage elements, such as capacitors and inductors. The SMR duty-cycle is controlled in an open-loop manner such that 1) maximum power is obtained for wind speeds below rated, and 2) the output power and turbine speed is limited to safe values above rated wind speed. This topology also has the ability to extract power at low wind speeds, which is well suited to small-scale wind turbines, as there is often limited flexibility in their location and these commonly see low average wind speeds. The thesis is divided into two parts; the first part examines the use of the SMR as a DC-DC converter, for use in standalone applications. The duty-cycle is essentially kept constant, and is only varied for maximum power tracking and turbine speed / power limiting purposes. The SMR operates in to a fixed voltage source load, and has the ability to allow current and hence power to be drawn from the generator even at low wind and hence turbine speeds, making it ideal for battery charging applications. Initial dynamometer testing and limited wind-tunnel testing of a commercially available wind turbine show that turbine power can be maximised and its speed can be limited by adjusting the SMR duty-cycle in an open-loop manner. The second part of the thesis examines the use of the SMR as a DC-AC converter for grid-connected applications. The duty-cycle is now modulated sinusoidally at the mains frequency such that the SMR produces an output current that resembles a fullwave rectified sinewave that is synchronised to the mains voltage. An additional H-bridge inverter circuit and low-pass filter is used to unfold, filter and feed the sinusoidal output current in to the utility grid. Simulation and initial resistive load and preliminary grid-connected tests were used to prove the inverter concept, however, the permanent magnet generator current source is identified as non-ideal and causes unwanted harmonic distortion. The generator harmonics are analysed, and the system performance is compared with the Australian Standard THD requirement. It is concluded that the harmonics are caused by 1) the low-cost single-phase output design, 2) the use of an uncontrolled rectifier, and 3) the finite back-EMF voltage. The extent of these harmonics can be predicted based on the inverter operating conditions. A feed-forward current compensation control algorithm is investigated, and shown to be effective at removing the harmonics caused by the nonideal current source. In addition, the unipolar PWM switching scheme, and its harmonic components are analysed. The low-pass filter design is discussed, with an emphasis on power factor and THD grid requirements. A normalised filter design approach is used that shows how design aspects, such as cutoff frequency and quality factor, affect the filter performance. The filter design is shown to be a trade-off between the output current THD, power loss, and quality factor. The final chapter summarises the thesis with the design and simulation of a 1kW single-phase grid-connected inverter. The inverter is designed based on the low-pass filter and feed-forward compensation analysis, and is shown to deliver an output current to the utility grid that adheres to the Australian Standards. / http://proxy.library.adelaide.edu.au/login?url= http://library.adelaide.edu.au/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=1375316 / Thesis (Ph.D.) - University of Adelaide, School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, 2009

abstract: Due to restructuring and open access to the transmission system, modern electric power systems are being operated closer to their operational limits. Additionally, the secure operational limits of modern power systems have become increasingly difficult to evaluate as the scale of the network and the number of transactions between utilities increase. To account for these challenges associated with the rapid expansion of electric power systems, dynamic equivalents have been widely applied for the purpose of reducing the computational effort of simulation-based transient security assessment. Dynamic equivalents are commonly developed using a coherency-based approach in which a retained area and an external area are first demarcated. Then the coherent generators in the external area are aggregated and replaced by equivalenced models, followed by network reduction and load aggregation. In this process, an improperly defined retained area can result in detrimental impacts on the effectiveness of the equivalents in preserving the dynamic characteristics of the original unreduced system. In this dissertation, a comprehensive approach has been proposed to determine an appropriate retained area boundary by including the critical generators in the external area that are tightly coupled with the initial retained area. Further-more, a systematic approach has also been investigated to efficiently predict the variation in generator slow coherency behavior when the system operating condition is subject to change. Based on this determination, the critical generators in the external area that are tightly coherent with the generators in the initial retained area are retained, resulting in a new retained area boundary. Finally, a novel hybrid dynamic equivalent, consisting of both a coherency-based equivalent and an artificial neural network (ANN)-based equivalent, has been proposed and analyzed. The ANN-based equivalent complements the coherency-based equivalent at all the retained area boundary buses, and it is designed to compensate for the discrepancy between the full system and the conventional coherency-based equivalent. The approaches developed have been validated on a large portion of the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) system and on a test case including a significant portion of the eastern interconnection. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Electrical Engineering 2011
