Doubly Fed Induction Generators (Part 1 of 2)
No full textThis video, from Columbia Gorge Community College, is the first of a two-part series on doubly fed induction generators (DFIG). In the video, instructor Jim Pytel introduces the concept of DFIGs and contrasts them with traditional synchronous and induction generators. During the video, Pytel discusses technical aspects of DFIGs, describing how they combine the benefits of both synchronous and induction generators. The operational principles of DFIGs, including their ability to operate in both sub-synchronous (hyposynchronous) and super-synchronous (hyper-synchronous) modes are covered. How DFIGs use bidirectional AC-to-AC converters to manage power extraction from the rotor is also explained. The advantages of DFIGs are highlighted and a discussion on the comparative costs and complexities of full conversion synchronous generators versus partial conversion DFIGs is included.The video runs for 15:16 minutes. The second part of the series is available to view separately
Dissemination of ASEE 4.0 Summit Findings
No full textThis collection includes three documents and twelve video clips that summarize the results of the Workforce Summit for Industry 4.0 launched by the Corporate Member Council of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASSE). The Workforce Summit for Industry 4.0 brought together "experts, academic leaders, and other community stakeholders to plan how to transform education of the skilled technical workforce to respond to the fourth industrial revolution." The 3-page infographic, 4-page executive summary/policymaker's briefing, and the 8-page white paper each provide an overview of the summit in varying detail. The documents introduce the summit and discuss its goals, themes, key recommendations for technician education, and examples of promising instructional models for training skilled technical workers. Additionally, the white paper discusses the findings of summit meetings and summarizes the webinars that led up to the summit. The video clips run from three to ten minutes and showcase highlights from summit meetings and panels.Below is a list of the files contained within the .zip attachment.
