Design of Optimal Droop Control for Multi-Terminal High-Voltage Direct Current Systems During Line Outages
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2019 , Article)This article investigates the required modifications to droop control design for optimum operation of Multi-Terminal High-Voltage Direct Current (MTHVDC) systems during line and converter outages. A typical 6-bus MTHVDC ... -
Detailed velocity profiles in close-coupled elbows-Measurements and computational fluid dynamics predictions (RP-1682)
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2017 , Article)This article presents a systematic study to measure detailed velocity profiles in close-coupled five-gore elbows having nominal diameters of 305�mm (12 in) and turning radii r/D = 1.5, and to, likewise, predict the velocity ... -
Effect of swirl at intake manifold on engine performance using ethanol fuel blend
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2020 , Article)Ethanol fuel is widely used as an alternative fuel in spark ignition engines. The use of ethanol reduces dependence on fuel from the fraction of hydrocarbons. As such, adding swirl generators to the intake manifold aims ... -
Effects of Turbulence Intensity and Biogas Composition on the Localized Forced Ignition of Turbulent Mixing Layers
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2019 , Article)Three-dimensional compressible Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) have been used to investigate the localized forced ignition of statistically planar mixing layers of biogas/air mixtures for different levels of turbulence ... -
Energy Absorption Capability of Cotton Fiber/Epoxy Composite Square and Rectangular Tubes
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2016 , Article)This paper investigates the energy-absorption capability of natural fiber cotton fabric/epoxy square tubes. The cross-sectional aspect ratio was varied randomly from 0.50 to 2.57. Quasi-static crushing tests in axial and ... -
Experimental determination and computational fluid dynamics predictions of pressure loss in close-coupled elbows (RP-1682)
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2017 , Article)An experimental program was implemented to study pressure losses in HVAC duct systems associated with 305 mm (12 in.) diameter close-coupled round five-gore elbows. The goal of this program was to experimentally verify a ... -
Four-Arm Three-Phase Modular Multilevel Converter (4A-TPMMC)
( Taylor and Francis Inc. , 2017 , Article)In this paper a Four-Arm Three-Phase MMC (4A-TPMMC)-based DC-AC converter is proposed. The proposed converter generates a three-phase output voltage using a lower number of components, which reduces the converter complexity ... -
