Analysing subsynchronous resonance phenomena in the time- and frequency domain

EUROPEAN TRANSACTIONS ON ELECTRICAL POWER, Issue 4 2000
X. Lei
Subsynchronous resonance (SSR) is a condition that can exist in a power system, especially for long-distance transmission systems with series compensated line. It can cause shaft fatigue and possible damage or failure of the generator involved. The analysis of the SSR phenomenon can be performed usually by using three individual analytical methods -frequency scanning, eigenvalue analysis in the frequency domain and transient torque analysis in the time domain. In this paper the comprehensive simulation program NETOMAC with a complete solution for analysing SSR is presented. Based on a common data set of the system concerned, both frequency and transient torque analysis can be performed, taking interactions among the spring-mass system of the turbine-generator units and the electrical network into consideration. Two case studies are demonstrated in the paper. The results achieved validate the functionality of the program for SSR analysis. [source]


Shape functions for polygonal domains with interior nodes

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR NUMERICAL METHODS IN ENGINEERING, Issue 8 2004
Elisabeth Anna Malsch
Abstract The presented formulation follows in a series of publications which outline a method for constructing test functions which satisfy essential edge conditions exactly. The method promises a complete solution, satisfying all of the requirements of a Ritz coordinate function. The influence of interior points on the domain solution is included in this construction. Similar to conformal bubble functions, the test functions are zero along the boundary and single valued only at the points they describe. Unlike the bubble function construction, the interior points can be located at any desired point in the domain. The resulting set of trial functions can satisfy the required global conditions including the exact reproduction of constant and linear fields. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


A new controller for the inverted pendulum on a cart

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBUST AND NONLINEAR CONTROL, Issue 17 2008
F. Gordillo
Abstract This paper presents a complete solution to the problem of swinging-up and stabilization of the inverted pendulum on a cart, with a single control law. The resulting law has two parts: first, an energy-shaping law is able to swing and maintain the pendulum up. Then, the second part introduces additional control to stop the cart and it is based on forwarding control with bounded input. The resulting control law is the sum of both parts and does not commute between different laws although there exist switches inside the controller. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


On the size of the algebraic difference of two random Cantor sets

RANDOM STRUCTURES AND ALGORITHMS, Issue 2 2008
Michel Dekking
Abstract In this paper we consider some families of random Cantor sets on the line and investigate the question whether the condition that the sum of Hausdorff dimension is larger than one implies the existence of interior points in the difference set of two independent copies. We prove that this is the case for the so called Mandelbrot percolation. On the other hand the same is not always true if we apply a slightly more general construction of random Cantor sets. We also present a complete solution for the deterministic case. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Random Struct. Alg., 2008 [source]
