This paper proposes a stand-alone adjustable speed wind Power generation system using a cage-type induction generator. Indirect vector control is used, where the q-axis current controls the generator speed and the d-axis current controls the excitation level. The generator speed is adjusted according to the wind speed so as to produce the maximum output power. The generated power is charged in the battery bank through ac/dc PWM converter. The proposed scheme has been verified by the experimental results.

A power-adjustable fully-integrated CMOS optical receiver with multi-rate clock-and-data recovery circuit is presented in standard 65-nm CMOS technology. With supply voltage scaling, key features of the optical receiver such as bandwidth, power efficiency, and optical sensitivity can be automatically optimized according to the bit rates. The prototype receiver has −23.7 dBm to −15.4 dBm of optical sensitivity for 10⁻⁹ bit error rate with constant conversion gain around all target bit rates from 1.62Gbps to 8.1 Gbps. Power efficiency is less than 9.3 pJ/bit over all operating ranges.

본 논문에서는 분배 비율을 조절할 수 있는 1:N 비대칭 월킨슨 전력 분배기를 제안한다. 제안된 비대칭 전력분배기는 월킨슨 구조에 기인하고 있다. 제안한 분배기는 사각형 형태의 결함 접지 구조와 결함 접지 구조 안에 위치한 격리 패턴 구조, 그리고 바이어스 전압에 따라 캐패시턴스가 변하는 버랙터 다이오드를 지니고 있다. 결함 접지 구조를 지니는 마이크로스트립 전송 선로의 특성 임피던스는 버랙터 다이오드에 인가된 전압에 따라서 값이 변화하고, 이로 인하여 비대칭 전력 분배 비율도 변한다. 측정에서 얻은 비대칭 전력 분배 비율(N)은 $2.59{\sim}10.4$로써 매우 다양한 전력 분배 비율을 보여준다.

A variable electromotive-force generator (VEG), which is a modified generator with an adjustable overlap between the rotor and the stator, is proposed to expand the operational range of a regular generator through a simple and robust active control strategy. It has a broad range of applications in hybrid vehicles, wind turbines, water turbines, and similar technologies. A mathematical model of the VEG is developed, and a novel prototype is designed and fabricated. The performance of the VEG with an active control system, which adjusts the overlap ratio based on the desired output power at different rotor speeds for a specific application, is theoretically and experimentally studied. The results show that reducing the overlap between the rotor and the stator of the generator results in reduced torque loss of the generator and an increased rotational speed of the generator rotor. A VEG can improve the fuel efficiency of hybrid vehicles; it can also expand operational ranges of wind turbines and water turbines and harness more power.

An application of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG), which is one of adjustable speed generators, to a gas engine cogeneration system has been investigated. To operate during a blackout as an emergency power supply is one of important roles for the gas engine cogeneration system. However, the DFIG requires initial excitation for startup during a blackout because the DFIG has no excitation source. In this paper, we propose the "blackout start" as a new excitation method to generate a rated voltage at the primary side during a blackout. In addition, a stand-alone operation following a blackout has been investigated by using experimental setup with a real gas engine. Power flows in the generating set with the DFIG at the stand-alone operation have been investigated experimentally. Experimental investigation of the power flow suggests that the generating set with DFIG has optimal speed in minimizing whole system losses.

This paper presents a new stand-alone wind-based induction generator system with constant frequency and adjustable output voltage. The proposed generator consists of a six-phase cage-rotor induction machine with two separate three-phase balanced stator windings and a three-phase space vector pulse width modulation inverter that operates as a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). The first stator winding is fed by the STATCOM and used to excite the machine while the second stator winding is connected to the generator external load. The main frequency of the STATCOM is determined to be constant and equal to the load-requested frequency. The generator output frequency is independent of the load power demand and its prime mover speed because the frequency of the induced emf in the second stator winding is the same as this constant frequency. A sliding mode control (SMC) is developed to regulate the generator output voltage. A second SMC is used to force the zero active power exchanged between the machine and the STATCOM. Some simulation and experimental results are presented to prove the validity and effectiveness of the proposed generator system.

This paper describes an adjustable switching angle control method of Switched Reluctance Motor to improve the drive efficiency when variable loads applied. The control method to build-up optimal current shape is intended to improve the efficiency of SRM over the wide range of output power without requiring additional power devices, which gives more economic benefits compared with any other control methods.

This paper proposes a method to adjust the turn ratio of a transformer for the high-efficiency operation of an LLC converter with a wide input range in a wired/wireless integrated charging system for electric vehicles. The characteristics of the inductive power transfer converter in the integrated charging system are analyzed to design the LLC converter, and the DC-link voltage range is derived. The aspect of voltage gain following each parameter of the LLC converter is analyzed, and the resonant network and transformer are designed. Based on the designed parameters, the feasibility of the design and control method is verified by implementing the operation of the LLC converter according to the DC-link and battery voltages.

The power consumption in the low consistency (LC) refining is an important indicator for the optimal control of the process and it is composed of the net power and the no-load power. The refining efficiency and process characterization of LC refining are directly affected by power consumption. In this paper, the effect of pulp consistency and average fiber length on the power consumption and refining efficiency were studied through the LC refining trials conducted by an experimental disc refiner. It is found that the curve of power-gap clearance can be divided into constant power section, power reduction section, and power increase section. And the no-load power and the adjustable domain of loading applied by the refining plates will increase as the increase of pulp consistency, while the increase of net power is larger than that of no-load power which makes the increasing of refining efficiency. Meanwhile, the adjustable domain of loading applied by the refining plates can be slightly improved by increasing the average fiber length, but its effect on the no-load power in the LC refining process can be neglected. The study of power consumption in LC refining is of positive significance for the proper selection of pulp properties in LC refining, in-depth exploration of refining mechanism, and energy consumption reduction in refining.
