The students’ laboratory work is part of the library of experiments of the Electrical Machines virtual laboratory and makes use of the two-dimensional open-access electromagnetic field analysis software Finite Element Method Magnetics. The idea of the simulated exercise is to demonstrate how the magnetic loss caused by time-varying excitations affects the magnetic permeability, <em>μ</em>, of the laminated core and the terminal quantities of the energizing winding. A parametric analysis employing different values for the electrical conductivity and maximum hysteresis-induced angle of the laminated material yields five different field problems with increasing magnetic loss. Electric circuits characterized by the (<em>I-V</em>) operating point and reflected impedance of the energizing winding provide the information required to compute the changes in real power Δ<em>P</em>, reactive power Δ<em>Q</em> and magnetically stored energy Δ<em>W</em><sub>m</sub> between successive problems characterized by increasing magnetic loss. The concept of reflected impedance helps to explain the physical meaning of the changes in power dissipation and energy storage in the laminated core.展开更多

The vibration characteristics were described when rated voltage was applied to the secondary side, and the primary side was connected with different load resistances. The largest amplitude positions on the upper bracket and tank surfaces were recorded by vibration sensors arranged on the surface. A data-acquisition platform was set up for signal measurement. The vibration amplitude related to frequency was discussed, and experimental results indicated that the position with the largest amplitude accrued in the middle of the upper bracket and tank surface, at phases a and c, respectively. The experimental results suggest that magnetostrictive and electrodynamic forces play a major role in exciting the vibration noise. At the same time, some rib-reinforcements were welded on the upper bracket and tank surfaces to lessen the vibration energy, which reduced the noise.展开更多

It is expected that this limiter generally can control the ferroresonance. For studying these phenomena, at first ferroresonance is introduced and a general modeling approach is given. A simple case of ferroresonance in a three phase transformer is used to illustrate these phenomena. Then, effect of new suggested ferroresonance limiter on the onset of chaotic ferroresonance and control of these oscillations in a power transformer including linear core losses is studied. Simulation is done on a three phase power transformer while one of its phases is opened, and effect of varying input voltage on occurring ferroresonance overvoltage is studied. Results show that connecting the ferroresonance limiter to the transformer exhibits a great controlling effect on the ferroresonance overvoltage. Phase plane diagram, FFT analysis along with bifurcation diagrams are also presented. Significant effect on occurring chaotic ferroresonance, the range of parameter values that may lead to overvoltage and magnitude of ferroresonance overvoltage is obtained, showed and tabulated.展开更多

Not only the data number can be configured to 2＂ and the data width can be config- ured as integer or floating-point number of 32 bits, but also the number of inner butterfly units is configurable, which can effec- tively resolve the contradiction between speed and hardware re- source occupancy. The IP core is designed by butterfly computing elements of a mixed radix-4 and radix-2 algorithm and applies the in-place addressing scheme and reusing method to reduce hard- ware resources consumption. Functional simulation by Quartus II platform proves that the results calculated by FFT IP core are ac- cordant with the Matlab results. Hardware test on DE2 develop- ment board by timestamp timer demonstrates that the FFT IP core costs only 34.8 μs to achieve FFT of 512 sampled data with preci- sion of 32-bit floating point. It is demonstrated that the IP core has the advantages of feasible configuration, easy use, and high preci- sion.展开更多

Regarding that the core of these transformers is often the ferrite core;their functions partly depend on this core characteristic. One of the characteristics of the ferrite core is thermal behavior that should be paid attention to because it affects the transformer function and causes heat generation. In this paper, a typical high frequency transformer with ferrite core is designed and simulated in ANSYS software. Temperature rise due to winding current (Joule-heat) is considered as heat generation source for thermal behavior analysis of the transformer. In this simulation, the temperature rise and heat distribution are studied and the effects of parameters such as flux density, winding loss value, using a fan to cool the winding and core and thermal conductivity are investigated.展开更多

However, the study of convergence field of an infinite matrix in the space of almost convergent sequences is so new （see [15]）. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the new spaces ^ ～f and fo consisting of all sequences whose Ceshro transforms of order one are in the spaces f and ^ ～ f0, respectively. Also, in this paper, we show that ^ ～f and ^ ～f0 are linearly isomorphic to the spaces f and f0, respectively. The β- and γ-duals of the spaces ^ ～f and 2% are computed. Furthermore, the classes （^ ～f： μ） and （μ ： f） of infinite matrices are characterized for any given sequence space μ, and determined the necessary and sufficient conditions on a matrix A to satisfy Bc-core（Ax） K-core（x）, K-core（Ax） Bg-core（x）, Bc-core（Ax） Be-core（x）, Bc-core（Ax） t-core（x） for all x ∈ t∞.展开更多

HCV c...Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is the fifth most common cancer, and hepatitis C virus(HCV) infection plays a major role in HCC development. The molecular mechanisms by which HCV infection leads to HCC are varied. HCV core protein is an important risk factor in HCV-associated liver pathogenesis and can modulate several signaling pathways involved in cell cycle regulation, cell growth promotion, cell proliferation, apoptosis, oxidative stress and lipid metabolism. The dysregulation of signaling pathways such as transforming growth factor β(TGF-β), vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF), Wnt/β-catenin(WNT), cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α(PPARα) by HCV core protein is implicated in the development of HCC. Therefore, it has been suggested that this protein be considered a favorable target for further studies in the development of HCC. In addition, considering the axial role of these signaling pathways in HCC, they are considered druggable targets for cancer therapy. Therefore, using strategies to limit the dysregulation effects of core protein on these signaling pathways seems necessary to prevent HCV-related HCC.展开更多

Any deviation in estimation of the core losses during the design stage can lead to a financial penalty for the transformer manufacturer. In this paper an effective and novel method is proposed to determine all components of the iron core losses applying a combination of the empirical and numerical techniques. In this method at the first stage all computable components of the core losses are calculated, using Finite Element Method (FEM) modeling and analysis of the transformer iron core. This method takes into account magnetic sheets anisotropy, joint losses and stacking holes. Next, a Quadratic Programming (QP) optimization technique is employed to estimate the incomputable components of the core losses. This method provides a chance for improvement of the core loss estimation over the time when more measured data become available. The optimization process handles the singular deviations caused by different manufacturing machineries and labor during the transformer manufacturing and overhaul process. Therefore, application of this method enables different companies to obtain different results for the same designs and materials employed, using their historical data. Effectiveness of this method is verified by inspection of 54 full size distribution transformer measurement data.展开更多
