    Investigation on the DC CB Performance during a Current Interruption Failure at First Current Zero

    No full text
    The vacuum interrupter is used as the key component of an active DCCB due to its excellent interruption and dielectric recovery characteristics after current zero. The vacuum interrupter can only interrupt the fault currents below the limitation of a critical di/dt and TIV, otherwise it causes a reignition and the interruption failure. In this paper, a detailed active injection DC CB model is developed, considering operation delay of switches, parasitic parameters of switches and thorough control logic. The limitation dielectric strength between the vacuum gap is defined by the cold break down voltage. Based on the numerical modelling, investigation will be performed to see the performance of DC CB with a failure interruption on the first current zero. The simulation results can help to optimize the injection circuit parameters when DC CB has a failure on the first current zero and has to interrupt in the next current zeros. This algorithm will consider predefined threshold of di/dt, chopping current and variable operation time in different scenarios.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Intelligent Electrical Power Grid

    Technical performance of different DC CB technologies for future HVDC Grids

    Multiterminal dc (MTDC) network is preferred due to its reliability, security of supply and flexibility. However, MTDC network also comes with the protection challenges resulting from dc faults. Hence, the dc circuit breaker (DC CB) is imperative in such a network. In these recent years, several DC CB technologies have been proposed and demonstrated by different manufacturers. Besides, these DC CB technologies differ from each other in terms of the speed of operation, interruption capability and costs. Hence, for the optimal performance of the MTDC network, a study of the co-ordinative operation of different DC CB technologies is required. In this thesis, two typical types of DC CBs are modelled in detail and implemented in a 4-terminal MTDC network in PSCAD environment, by considering operation time, interruption capability and interruption characteristics. The obtained results are used for DC CB’s selection optimization methodology for the future MTDC networks. Similarly, a scaled model of DC CB has to be analysed in terms of its interruption capability in MTDC network considering various scenarios. Therefore, in this master thesis, technical performance of DC CB technologies is conducted for a test and multiterminal dc network in EMT based software environment.The DC CB is the key to unlock the reliable operation of a Multi-terminal direct current network, whereas fast, effective and accurate models are frequently needed for system-level studies. Due to higher subsystem components in DC CB, a detailed DC CB model creates a bottleneck in the network analysis. This thesis also proposes and compares, an average model with a detailed model of Voltage source converter Assisted Resonant Current (VARC) and Mechanical DC CB in MTDC Network in terms of their performance and computation time for two typical simulation cases. The average and detailed model is modelled and simulated on the PSCAD/EMTDC electromagnetic transient platform. Decisively, this thesis concludes by presenting an accurate response of the average model during the fast transient event, showing additional computational advantage.<br/

    FMR1 in global populations

    Fragile X syndrome, a frequent form of inherited mental retardation, results from the unstable expansion of a cryptic CGG repeat within the 5' UTR region of the FMR1 gene. The CGG repeat is normally polymorphic in length, and the content is frequently interrupted by AGG triplets. These interruptions are believed to stabilize the repeat, and their absence, leading to long tracts of perfect CGG repeats, may give rise to predisposed alleles. In order to examine the stability of normal FMR1 alleles, the repeat length of 345 chromosomes from nine global populations was examined with the content also determined from 114 chromosomes as assessed by automated DNA sequencing. The FMR1 alleles, defined by the CGG repeat, as well as by the haplotypes of nearby polymorphic loci, were very heterogeneous, although the level of variation correlated with the age and/or genetic history of a particular population. Native American alleles, interrupted by three AGG repeats, exhibited marked stability over 7,000 years. However, in older African populations, parsimony analysis predicts the occasional loss of an AGG, leading to more perfect CGG repeats. These data therefore support the suggestion that AGG interruptions enhance the stability of the FMR1 repeat and indicate that the rare loss of these interruptions leads to alleles with longer perfect CGG-repeat tracts

    The characteristics of the polish CB-language

    No full text
    The paper analyzes the language used by drivers on the Citizens’ Band radio (CB radio). The users of the radio communicate only in speech, their communication is highly pragmatic and based on partnership. The utterances alternate between formal and informal ones, which determines the range and register of vocabulary. Drivers often use diminutives and polite addresses thus creating the atmosphere of mutual respect and cordiality, which can be comforting and reassuring for strangers who happen to establish a casual contact. The specific language used on the CB radio fulfils two basic functions: it creates a sense of community among drivers and protects the information passed on as warnings. At the end of the paper, the author appends a comprehensive glossary of the CB language

    In this study, supercapacitor device performances of graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), polypyrrole (PPy), and ternary nanocomposites of GO, PPy, and carbon black (CB) as GO/PPy/CB and rGO/PPy/CB were firstly prepared using the in situ polymerization method. The obtained composite materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy energy–dispersive X-ray (SEM–EDX), Fourier-transform infrared-attenuated transmission reflectance (FTIR-ATR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analysis, cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge–discharge (GCD), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic (EIS) methods. The highest specific capacitance (Csp) of the rGO/PPy/CB nanocomposite was obtained as Csp = 39, 48, and 27.86 F × g?1 by three methods of CV, GCD, and EIS, respectively. Two equivalent circuit models of Rs(CdlRct) and LRs(QRct) were presented to compare equivalent circuit parameters. Theoretical and experimental values are compatible with each other.

    Thesis: M. Eng., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2014.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 39-40).This thesis describes CB-DPOR, an algorithm for quickly finding bugs in lock-free data structures. CB-DPOR is a combination of the CHESS and DPOR model checking algorithms. CB-DPOR performs similar to the concurrently developed preemption-bounded BPOR algorithm. CODEX is a tool for finding bugs in lock-free data structures. CODEX implements CBDPOR and this thesis demonstrates how to use CODEX to find bugs. This thesis describes new bugs in open-source lock-free data structures, and compares the performance of CBDPOR with the earlier model checking algorithms CHESS, DPOR, and PCT. CB-DPOR find bugs one to two orders of magnitude faster than earlier algorithms.by Jelle van den Hooff.M. Eng
