Control aspects of synchronous machines in power systems applications
No full textDevelopments in control design methods for power systems have continually been made during the last ten years, and the present thesis seeks to make its contribution to this pattern of work. In so doing, it develops electrical machine mathematical models on which the subsequent designs are based. The formulations relate specifically to those from which computer programs may be readily developed and particular importance has been attached to the systematic marshalling of plant and network equations for the subsequent and efficient solution by computer methods. Methods of model reduction and state transformation are described and these are used to manipulate the system models into the form appropriate to the regulator design algorithm. The regulator-design algorithm is described in which a systematic numerical technique is used to predetermine the performance criterionJ = C(xtQx + u )dt. The constraints imposed on the system response by the design specification are associated with the movement of the eigenvalue locations to give actual values for the elements of Q. The algorithm described, for the linear single-input system, is based on the sensitivity of the elements of Q to shifts in the eigenvalue locations to produce a performance criterion for improved system stability. The resulting algorithm is applied to the design of an a.c. turbo generator excitation control and is shown to give a system that has advantages over a controller designed using conventional techniques. The thesis is supported by four published papers in which the author of the present thesis is joint author. One reports on the development of the design algorithm and the others deal with computational aspects of control design and its-application to power systems; computer listings are presented in the papers. In addition, the author's work has been presented at two conferences for which published records exist.</p

Mechanical heat treatment of municipal solid waste
No full textTo meet the requirements of the EU landfill directive, which prohibits the disposal of waste to landfill without prior treatment, various types of waste management processes have been proposed. This paper describes the detailed investigation and analysis of a plant employing a process known as mechanical heat treatment. The plant was built, operated for a pilot period and monitored as part of Defra’s new technologies demonstrator programme. The plant treated 20 500 t of household residual waste, through a combination of heat treatment and mechanical separation technology, to produce solid recovered fuels and recyclables (glass, plastics, ferrous and non-ferrous metals). It is shown that mechanical heat treatment can be an effective and efficient way of processing mixed municipal solid wastes, but the details of the plant and process are crucially important. Modifications to the plant were made as a result of experience gained during the initial phase of operation, including the redesign of some of the equipment to avoid fouling by textiles and plastic film, and the introduction of an additional shredder. Comparison of mass and energy balances for the plant at the beginning and end of the operational period, after improvements had been made, demonstrates an increase in the rate of throughput of waste, significant improvements in the recovery of recyclable materials and fuel products, a reduction in the amount of residual material being sent to landfill and a reduction in the process energy use

Crab antics? Contesting and perpetuating status hierarchies in professional service firms.

The version of record Stringfellow, L. & Thompson, A., Crab antics? Contesting and perpetuating status hierarchies in professional service firms Journal of Professions and Organization first published online June 19, 2014 doi:10.1093/jpo/jou001 is available online at: http://jpo.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2014/06/19/jpo.jou001The focus of this research is a multi-level theory building exercise that highlights how status hierarchies are perpetuated, contested, and produced in small firm environments. Through eliciting the narratives of the owners of small accounting practices, we aim to explore the specific dynamics of status and to identify how informants come to understand, perpetuate, and change notions of status within their organizational field. We identify macro-theoretical perspectives through the notion of ‘status framing’, which unpacks the professional norms, institutional logics, and marketplace structures that shape industry practice and understanding. Drawing from micro-level perspectives of ‘status sensemaking’, we highlight how industry members create their own status perceptions that effectively legitimize, reinforce, and contradict industry status archetypes. We highlight the ‘crab antic’ nature to these status battles through narratives of ‘status reconciliation’, where informants effectively negotiate macro and micro status hierarchies. We explicate practice through linking the micro and macro realms of experience in small professional practices and identify how status is socially organized within the accounting profession. In doing so, we contribute to the status literature by highlighting that status is not a unified, stable concept, but one that is highly volatile and often undermined by actors vested in perpetuating the status quo
