Análise da qualidade de energia em sistemas de distribuição através de medição e fluxo de carga harmônico trifásico

Este trabalho apresenta uma análise da qualidade de energia realizado em um sistema real de distribuição de energia elétrica, a partir das diferentes classes de consumo atendida pela concessionária. O estudo foi realizado em duas etapas, sendo a primeira através de medições realizadas no secundário de transformadores da rede de distribuição que atende ao sistema da CEA (Companhia de Eletricidade do Amapá), previamente classificados por classe de atendimento sendo, classe comercial, residencial e mista. Através do estudo torna-se possível a identificação e a caracterização de fontes geradoras de harmônicos no sistema, possibilitando assim a análise do nível de injeção de harmônicos em sua rede de distribuição, bem como a avaliação dos impactos que essas fontes distribuídas de geração harmônica podem provocar na qualidade de energia fornecida pela concessionária. A etapa final do estudo apresenta o uso de um fluxo de carga harmônico trifásico, onde a partir do perfil harmônico obtido no estudo, é feita uma avaliação de forma global do sistema.

Gestão da manutenção de transformadores de distribuição visando à qualidade no fornecimento de energia elétrica

Este trabalho tem como objetivo a gestão eficiente da manutenção em transformadores, que se encontram operando na rede elétrica de distribuição, permitindo ações efetivas que preservem a qualidade de energia entregue ao consumidor, procurando atender deste modo os critérios estabelecidos pelo PRODIST – Procedimentos de Distribuição de Energia Elétrica no Sistema Elétrico Nacional. O método aplicado para atingir este objetivo é a criação de um sistema de informações, que permita ao gestor da área de manutenção da distribuição de uma rede elétrica, tomar decisões considerando as interrupções ocorridas, o impacto que causaram no valor do FEC - Freqüência Equivalente de Interrupção por Unidade Consumidora e no carregamento dos transformadores. Entende-se que com isso as medidas mitigadoras serão tomadas em tempo hábil, podendo preservar a qualidade do fornecimento.

Avaliação de sistemas de pultrudados com diferentes tipos de matrizes para aplicação em cabos condutores

In the last decades it has been observed a substantial developing of the electrical energy demand in the societies all over the World. In consequence the electrical energy distribution companies are increasing the quantity of electrical energy through the electrical energy conductor cables, which had grown the sag in the towers of energy transmission. Furthermore, the construction of more transmission towers brings a lot of troubles due environmental protection laws. In this way, looking forward to increase the quantity of electrical energy transmitted through electrical cables conductors, reduce the need of constructing new transmission towers and the sag in them, we suggest in this work the replace of the traditional core of the conductors cables commonly used, made of steel, by a core made by a composite material, which one is made by carbon fibers pultruded with polymeric resins as matrix. In a order to evaluate if the resins more commonly used in structural composites can be applied as matrix to make possible to use the composite material as a core, we made carbon fibers systems pultruded with epoxy, phenolic and polyester resins as matrix and a mechanic and physic-chemistry characterization was done on the systems by Tensile and Poisson tests, differential sprobe calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), following their correspondents standards

Anomalous couplings in e(+)e(-)->W+W- gamma at CERN LEP 2 and NLC

We present sensitivity limits on the coefficients of a dimension-6 effective Lagrangian that parametrizes the possible effects of new physics beyond the standard model. Our results are based on the study of the process e(+)e(-)-->W+W- y at CERN LEP 2 and NLC energies. In our calculations, we include all the new anomalous interactions, involving vectors and Higgs bosons, and take into account the standard model irreducible background. We analyze the impact of these new interactions on the total cross section. including the effects of the initial electron and final W polarizations. We then focus on the operators that will not be constrained by the e(+)e(-)-->W+W- process, obtaining limits based on the photon energy distribution.

Photoelastic stress analysis in prosthetic implants of different diameters: mini, narrow, standard or wide

This study investigated the biomechanical behavior of screwed partial fixed prosthesis supported by implants with different diameters (2.5 mm; 3.3 mm and 3.75 mm) by using a photoelastic analysis. Six photoelastic models were fabricated in PL-2 resin as single crowns or splinted 3-unit piece. Models were positioned in a circular polariscope and 100-N axial and oblique (45 degrees) loads were applied in the occlusal surface of the crowns by using a universal testing machine (EMIC). The stresses were photographically recorded and qualitatively analyzed using a software (Adobe Photoshop). Under axial loading, the number of fringes was inversely proportional to the diameter of the implants in the single crown models. In the splinted 3-unit piece, the 3.75-mm implant promoted lower number of fringes regardless of loading area application. Under oblique loading, a slight increase of fringes number was observed for all groups. The standard implant diameter promoted better stress distribution than the narrow and mini diameter implants. Additionally, the splinted crowns showed a more uniform stress distribution.

MHD numerical simulations of colliding winds in massive binary systems - I. Thermal versus non-thermal radio emission

In the past few decades detailed observations of radio and X-ray emission from massive binary systems revealed a whole new physics present in such systems. Both thermal and non-thermal components of this emission indicate that most of the radiation at these bands originates in shocks. O and B-type stars and WolfRayet (WR) stars present supersonic and massive winds that, when colliding, emit largely due to the freefree radiation. The non-thermal radio and X-ray emissions are due to synchrotron and inverse Compton processes, respectively. In this case, magnetic fields are expected to play an important role in the emission distribution. In the past few years the modelling of the freefree and synchrotron emissions from massive binary systems have been based on purely hydrodynamical simulations, and ad hoc assumptions regarding the distribution of magnetic energy and the field geometry. In this work we provide the first full magnetohydrodynamic numerical simulations of windwind collision in massive binary systems. We study the freefree emission characterizing its dependence on the stellar and orbital parameters. We also study self-consistently the evolution of the magnetic field at the shock region, obtaining also the synchrotron energy distribution integrated along different lines of sight. We show that the magnetic field in the shocks is larger than that obtained when the proportionality between B and the plasma density is assumed. Also, we show that the role of the synchrotron emission relative to the total radio emission has been underestimated.

Probing the properties of Be star discs with spectroastrometry and NLTE radiative transfer modelling: beta CMi

While the presence of discs around classical Be stars is well established, their origin is still uncertain. To understand what processes result in the creation of these discs and how angular momentum is transported within them, their physical properties must be constrained. This requires comparing high spatial and spectral resolution data with detailed radiative transfer modelling. We present a high spectral resolution, R similar to 80 000, sub-milliarcsecond precision, spectroastrometric study of the circumstellar disc around the Be star beta CMi. The data are confronted with 3D, non-local thermodynamic equilibrium radiative transfer calculations to directly constrain the properties of the disc. Furthermore, we compare the data to disc models featuring two velocity laws: Keplerian, the prediction of the viscous disc model, and angular momentum conserving rotation. It is shown that the observations of beta CMi can only be reproduced using Keplerian rotation. The agreement between the model and the observed spectral energy distribution, polarization and spectroastrometric signature of beta CMi confirms that the discs around Be stars are well modelled as viscous decretion discs.
