In real life situation, electrical machines usually share voltage and current from common terminals and would easily influence each other. This will result in considerable amount of interferences among motors and doubt in identity of fault signals. Therefore, estimating the mutual influence of motors will help identifying the original signal from the environmental noise. This research aims at modelling the propagation of signals that are caused by faults of induction motors in power networks. Estimating the propagation pattern of fault signal leads to a method to discriminate and identify the original source of major events in industrial networks. Simulation results show that source of fault could be identified using this approach with a higher certainty than anticipated output coming of any individual diagnosis.展开更多

The transient radiation of the antenna above the lossy ground is computed using the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method The determining factors of the field waveform are explored and analysed on the basis of the physical evolution process of the transient radiation. The typical waveform of the electric field and the field distribution characteristics, both of which are important for HEMP simulator design and the effect tests, are presented. The study indicates that the simulation should be analysed from the perspective of both environment building and simulator applications.展开更多

CUPS (custom power systems) devices are used to improve the quality of power and enhance the reliability of the power supply in the distribution networks. The DVR (dynamic voltage restorer) is an important CUPS device used to mitigate voltage sag/swell and imbalances. Various control techniques have been implemented to control the DVR, among which the PID (proportional-integral-derivative) controller is dominant because of its model independent property and its error driven technique. In this paper, a new controller based on the ADRC (active disturbance rejection control) concept is developed, and its performance is compared to that of the PID controller. The model of the DVR and its ADRC and PID controllers were developed under the MATLAB (matrix laboratory)/Simulink environment. The simulation results demonstrated the effectiveness of the ADRC over the PID controller.展开更多

The results suggest that anomalous electron bursts with energy dispersion in the range of ~100–350 keV, forming the "wisp" signature, are due to cyclotron resonance of electrons with monochromatic waves from the powerful NWC VLF transmitters during nighttime. The intense broad band VLF emissions (up-going 0+ whistlers) are observed while the DEMETER satellite goes through the region of intense thunderstorm activities at mid-latitudes. However, the effects of intense lightning activity and pregnant earthquake have little impact on this kind of stable energy-dispersed electron structures, despite the fact that they are presumably two primary reasons for the particle precipitation in the ionosphere. The case studied here provides us a valuable opportunity to address the various sources triggering the anomalous plasma perturbations in the ionosphere.展开更多
