Direct-on-line axial flux permanent magnet synchronous generator static and dynamic performance

In distributed energy production, permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSG) are often connected to the grid via frequency converters, such as voltage source line converters. The price of the converter may constitute a large part of the costs of a generating set. Some of the permanent magnet synchronous generators with converters and traditional separately excited synchronous generators couldbe replaced by direct-on-line (DOL) non-controlled PMSGs. Small directly networkconnected generators are likely to have large markets in the area of distributed electric energy generation. Typical prime movers could be windmills, watermills and internal combustion engines. DOL PMSGs could also be applied in island networks, such as ships and oil platforms. Also various back-up power generating systems could be carried out with DOL PMSGs. The benefits would be a lower priceof the generating set and the robustness and easy use of the system. The performance of DOL PMSGs is analyzed. The electricity distribution companies have regulations that constrain the design of the generators being connected to the grid. The general guidelines and recommendations are applied in the analysis. By analyzing the results produced by the simulation model for the permanent magnet machine, the guidelines for efficient damper winding parameters for DOL PMSGs are presented. The simulation model is used to simulate grid connections and load transients. The damper winding parameters are calculated by the finite element method (FEM) and determined from experimental measurements. Three-dimensional finite element analysis (3D FEA) is carried out. The results from the simulation model and 3D FEA are compared with practical measurements from two prototype axial flux permanent magnet generators provided with damper windings. The dimensioning of the damper winding parameters is case specific. The damper winding should be dimensioned based on the moment of inertia of the generating set. It is shown that the damper winding has optimal values to reach synchronous operation in the shortest period of time after transient operation. With optimal dimensioning, interferenceon the grid is minimized.

Code Generator for Key Management Protocols - Design and Implementation

Key management has a fundamental role in secure communications. Designing and testing of key management protocols is tricky. These protocols must work flawlessly despite of any abuse. The main objective of this work was to design and implement a tool that helps to specify the protocol and makes it possible to test the protocol while it is still under development. This tool generates compile-ready java code from a key management protocol model. A modelling method for these protocols, which uses Unified Modeling Language (UML) was also developed. The protocol is modelled, exported as an XMI and read by the code generator tool. The code generator generates java code that is immediately executable with a test software after compilation.

Estudio clínico comparativo de la eficacia de azitromicina frente a amoxicilina/Ac. Clavulánico en el tratamiento de infecciones orales.

Fundamentos: el objetivo de este estudio fue comparar la eficacia. seguridad y tolerancia de la azitromicina frente a amoxicilina/ac. clavulánico en el tratamiento de pacientes con infecciones bucales agudas de origen odontogénico. Pacientes y Método: en este estudio abierto, comparativo y multicéntrico, se incluyeron 208 pacientes con infección bucal aguda de origen odontogénico, asignados aleatoriamente a dos grupos; 102 pacientes recibieron azitromicina, y 106 pacientes recibieron amoxicilina/ac. clavulánico. Se realizaron una historia clínica y una exploración física, y se tomaron muestras de sangre y orina. En cada una de las visitas, se recogieron los signos y síntomas característicos de la infección. Resultados: el nivel de respuesta fue similar en ambos grupos terapéuticos, obteniéndose un porcentaje de curación o mejoría superior al 90%. Azitromicina fue mejor tolerada y tuvo mejor cumplimiento que amoxicilina/ac. clavulánico. Los efectos adversos fueron en su mayoría gastrointestinales. Conclusión: Azitromicina y amoxicilina/clavulánico fueron igualmente efectivos en el tratamiento de infecciones agudas de origen odontogénico.

Developing of AC magnetometer and investigation of magnetic properties of LSMO

In this work AC magnetometer was developed and primary test measurements were performed for temperature range from 77 K up to 350 K in frequency range from 1 kHz up to 20 kHz. In the course of the present work dependencies of magnetization on temperature for Lao7Sr03Mni _yFeyO3 with y = 0.15, 0.20, 0.25 were obtained in DC magnetic field using SQUID magnetometer and in AC magnetic field using the developed AC magnetometer. Lai.XSrXMnO3 (LSMO) compounds belong to the class of Mn perovskites, which demonstrate very high degree of spin polarization. These materials are of great importance for nowadays applications in spintronics, where spin polarized electron transport is used. Spin glass like behavior was found as a characteristic feature of these solid solutions with the freezing temperature in the range 65 — 210 K.

Modelling of the PWR PACTEL vertical steam generator with the TRACE code

The behavior of the nuclear power plants must be known in all operational situations. Thermal hydraulics computer applications are used to simulate the behavior of the plants. The computer applications must be validated before they can be used reliably. The simulation results are compared against the experimental results. In this thesis a model of the PWR PACTEL steam generator was prepared with the TRAC/RELAP Advanced Computational Engine computer application. The simulation results can be compared against the results of the Advanced Process Simulator analysis software in future. Development of the model of the PWR PACTEL vertical steam generator is introduced in this thesis. Loss of feedwater transient simulation examples were carried out with the model.
