Research on resonance fault caused by dc magnetic biasing in ultra high voltage transformer with parallel static var compensator

For dealing with the resonance fault of ultra-high voltage transformers(UHVTs)with the parallel thyristor controlled reactor(TCR)+the filter compensator(FC)type static var compensator(SVC)caused by dc magnetic biasing,a simulation model of UHVT with parallel SVC for the frequency analysis of the impedance characteristics and a magnetic-field coupling model for UHVT based on classic Jiles-Atherton hysteresis theories are constructed based on the MATLAB/Simulink platform.Both the theoretical and simulation results prove that the resonance fault is caused by the resonance point on the low-voltage side of the transformer,which will approach the 4th harmonic point under magnetic biasing.Based on the fault analysis,a new resonance control method is proposed by adding reactance with by-pass switches in series with FC branches.Under dc magnetic biasing,the cutoff of the by-pass switch will increase the series reactance rate of the FC branches and change the resonance point.In order to avoid the 7th harmonic increasement caused by this method,the firing angle of the TCR branches is locked between 130°and 180°.The effect of the proposed method is validated by the simulation model of a 750 kV UHVT and the results show that the mechanism analysis of the resonance fault is correct and the resonance control method is valid.

Vector magnetometry in zero bias magnetic field using nitrogen-vacancy ensembles

The application of the vector magnetometry based on nitrogen-vacancy(NV)ensembles has been widely investigatedin multiple areas.It has the superiority of high sensitivity and high stability in ambient conditions with microscale spatialresolution.However,a bias magnetic field is necessary to fully separate the resonance lines of optically detected magneticresonance(ODMR)spectrum of NV ensembles.This brings disturbances in samples being detected and limits the rangeof application.Here,we demonstrate a method of vector magnetometry in zero bias magnetic field using NV ensembles.By utilizing the anisotropy property of fluorescence excited from NV centers,we analyzed the ODMR spectrum of NVensembles under various polarized angles of excitation laser in zero bias magnetic field with a quantitative numerical modeland reconstructed the magnetic field vector.The minimum magnetic field modulus that can be resolved accurately is downto~0.64 G theoretically depending on the ODMR spectral line width(1.8 MHz),and~2 G experimentally due to noisesin fluorescence signals and errors in calibration.By using 13C purified and low nitrogen concentration diamond combinedwith improving calibration of unknown parameters,the ODMR spectral line width can be further decreased below 0.5 MHz,corresponding to~0.18 G minimum resolvable magnetic field modulus.

Tunable biasing magnetic field design of ferrite tuner for ICRF heating system in EAST

Ion cyclotron range of frequency（ICRF） heating has been used in tokamaks as one of the most successful auxiliary heating tools and has been adopted in the EAST. However, the antenna load will fluctuate with the change of plasma parameters in the ICRF heating process. To ensure the steady operation of the ICRF heating system in the EAST, fast ferrite tuner（FFT） has been carried out to achieve real-time impedance matching. For the requirements of the FFT impedance matching system, the magnet system of the ferrite tuner（FT） was designed by numerical simulations and experimental analysis, where the biasing magnetic circuit and alternating magnetic circuit were the key researched parts of the ferrite magnet. The integral design goal of the FT magnetic circuit is that DC bias magnetic field is 2000 Gs and alternating magnetic field is±400 Gs. In the FTT, E-type magnetic circuit was adopted. Ferrite material is Nd Fe B with a thickness of 30 mm by setting the working point of Nd Fe B, and the ampere turn of excitation coil is 25 through the theoretical calculation and simulation analysis. The coil inductance to generate alternating magnetic field is about 7 m H. Eddy-current effect has been analyzed, while the magnetic field distribution has been measured by a Hall probe in the medium plane of the biasing magnet. Finally, the test results show the good performance of the biasing magnet satisfying the design and operating requirements of the FFT.

Geomagnetic Orbit Determination Using Fuzzy Regulating Unscented Kalman Filter

Geomagnetic orbit determination fits for nanosatellites which pursue low cost and high-density ratio,but one of its disadvantages is the poor position accuracy introduced by magnetic bias.Here,a new method,named the fuzzy regulating unscented Kalman filter(FRUKF),is proposed.The magnetic bias is regarded as a random walk model,and a fuzzy regulator is designed to estimate the magnetic bias more accurately.The input of the regulator is the derivative of magnetic bias estimated from unscented Kalman filter(UKF).According to the fuzzy rule,the process noise covariance is adaptively determined.The FRUKF is evaluated using the real-flight data of the SWARMA.The experimental results show that the root-mean-square(RMS)position error is 3.1 km and the convergence time is shorter than the traditional way.

Multiferroic properties and exchange bias in Bi_(1-x)Sr_xFeO_3(x=0–0.6) ceramics

Multiferroic properties and exchange bias （EB） in Bi1-xSrxFeO3 （x = 0-0.6） ceramics synthesized by a modified Pechini method are investigated. Sr concentration dependence of structure distorting, ferroelectric properties, and dielectric properties were studied at room temperature. Appropriate Sr doping （x = 0.05-0.2） has been found to decrease the conductivity, enhance ferroelectric properties and give rise to high dielectric constant. Compared with antiferromagnetic BiFeO3 compound, BSFO-x （O≤x ≤0.4） ceramics show weak ferromagnetism at room temperature, and their exchange bias field and vertical magnetization shift are observed and exhibit a strong dependence on the content of Sr. This observed EB effect which keeps stable in BSFO ceramics at 10 K tend to vanish at room temperature with Sr concentration over 0.4.

Pole-wrapped Negative Equivalent Magnetic Reluctance Structure-based Transformer for Line-frequency Isolation-dependent Applications

Isolation-dependent applications require a transformer with high efficiency,low magnetizing current,and anti-DC bias capability.The kilohertz planar negative magnetic reluctance structure is used to achieve this target with its magnetic-frequency variation property,which reduces the magnetic reluctance of the fundamental component.However,this design cannot be applied to low-frequency transformers owing to the high loss caused by its limited self-inductance and quality factor.To solve this problem,a pole-wrapped negative equivalent magnetic reluctance(PNEMR)structure is presented.The proposed design employed a copper-based PNEMR structure wrapped around the magnetic poles to enhance the fundamental flux and suppress the DC component of flux.Accordingly,the magnetizing current is reduced,and the isolation transformer is less susceptible to the DC bias.The proposed design can simultaneously improve the anti-DC magnetic bias capability,efficiency,and power factor of the transformers.To verify the effectiveness of the proposed design,a 10 kW C-core PNEMR structure-based transformer for isolation-dependent applications was constructed and compared to the generalized structures and transformers with planar negative magnetic reluctance structures.Results indicate that the PNEMR-based transformer can enhance the efficiency and power factor from 96.1%and 0.87 to 96.6%and 0.93,respectively,under full load conditions.

Metamaterial Tunable Filter Design

This paper presents a new concept to implement a tunable filter metamaterial with dual negative refraction composed of ferrite slabs and metallic resonators, including split-ring resonators (SRR), and short wire pairs. The ferrite slabs under an applied magnetics bias provide one magnetic resonance frequency band and the metallic resonators provide another one. The continuous wires within the metamaterials provide the negative permittivity in a wide frequency band covering the two magnetic resonance bands. This type of metamaterialis analyzed in detail, and tunable stop band filters are successfully designed. The effective electromagnetic parameters obtained from the simulation of the S-parameters indicate that metamaterial exhibit negative refraction bands, which can be shifted by changing the magnetic bias.
