Design Study of Multi-Rotor and Multi-Generator Wind Turbine with Lattice Tower—A Mechatronic Approach

New locations for onshore technology, which have not been considered so far, must be developed to increase the total installed capacity of renewable energies, especially wind energy. For this purpose, cost-effective wind turbines, even in difficult-to-access locations, such as mountainous and high-mountainous areas, must be designed. This paper presents a novel wind turbine with a related control system that meets these requirements. The proposed turbine uses a multi-rotor configuration with five rotors arranged in a star shape configuration. Each rotor drive train combines up to 12 generators in a maintenance-friendly multi-generator concept. A suitable observer-based control for load mitigation in the full-load region is proposed for the multi-rotor and multi-generator design. Simulations are used to demonstrate the applicability and practical benefits of this concept.

Hybrid nonlinear control strategies for performance enhancement of a doubly-fed induction aero-generator: design and DSP implementation

This paper reports on the design and implementation in DSP as hardware in the loop of a nonlinear control strategy for a grid-connected variable speed wind turbine using a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). The objective of this work is to build a real-time nonlinear hybrid approach combining Backstepping control and sliding mode control strategies for DFIG used in wind energy conversion systems (WECS). The results of the DSP implementation are discussed and qualitative and quantitative performance evaluations are performed under various disturbed conditions. The implementation is performed using the TMS320F28335 DSP combined with the MATLAB/Simulink (2016a) environment. The experimental results have been satisfactorily achieved, which implies that the proposed strategy is an efficient and robust approach to monitor the WECS.

A Radionuclide Generator of High-Purity Bi-213 for Instant Labeling

A new two-column 225Ac/213Bi generator was developed specifically for using 225Ac containing an impurity of long lived 227Ac. The parent 225Ac was retained on the first Actinide Resin column, while 213Bi was accumulated on the second column filled with AG MP-50 resin via continuous elution and decay of intermediate 221Fr. The 213Bi accumulation was realized in circulation mode which allowed a compact generator design. It was demonstrated that 213Bi could be quickly and effectively extracted from AG MP-50 in form of complexes with various chelating agents including DTPA and DOTA. The performance of the generator presented and a conventional single-column generator on the base of AG MP-50 was tested and both generators were loaded with 225Ac containing 227Ac impurity. The 213Bi generation efficiencies were comparable and greater than 70%, whereas the developed generator provided a deeper degree of purification of 213Bi from Ac isotopes and decay products of 227Ac.

Analisis Perencanaan Jarak Celah Udara Pada Generator Axial

The generator uses a permanent magnet so it does not require initial excitation to generate a voltage. The generator design is axial flux type, uses ceramic type permanent magnet (NdFeB), uses two flanking stator rotors. For electricity use, the AC voltage is changed to DC voltage using a rectifier for charging the accumulator. The air gap in the axial generator is the distance between the rotor and the stator. The air gap is also a place for the transfer of the magnetic field through the coil on the stator to produce a magnetic flux value that affects the induced voltage in the coil. The faster the rotation, the greater the voltage generated. This axial generator that has been designed can produce a frequency of ± 50 Hz, an effective voltage of ± 22 V when the air gap is 2 mm, the frequency measurement has an error of 10-20 Hz and an error percentage of 5-10%, with the results of measuring the induced current that has a large the same voltage.
