Centered on the correlation of composition and structure, analyses by means of X-ray diffration （XRD）, scanning electron microscope （SEM） and energy dispersive spectrometry （EDS） are conducted on the specimens, which have been PEO-treated under hybrid voltages of different direct current （DC） values （140-280 V） with constant alternate current （AC） amplitude （200 V）. Attention is paid to the composition, properties and growth mechanism of oxide layers formed with hybrid voltages. Moreover, the main effects of DC value are discussed. Ceramic layers with a double-layer structure which combines hard outer and soft inner layers are found to be consist of α-Al2O3,γ-Al2O3 and mullite. With the DC values increasing, the growth of the ceramic layers tends to have increasingly obvious three-stage feature.展开更多

Based on the symmetrical component theory, the torque pulsation is the consequence of the interaction of stator and rotor currents of different sequences. This paper presents a control technique to reduce the effect of unbalanced voltages on the DFIG in wind energy conversion systems. The negative sequence stator voltage is derived from the unbalanced three phase stator voltages. The compensated rotor voltage in terms of the derived negative sequence stator voltage and slip which minimizes the negative stator and rotor currents is proposed. The results from the simulation of control system with steady state model and dynamic model of the DFIG show that additional control loop with compensated voltage can significantly reduce torque and reactive power pulsations.展开更多

The evolution of discharging sparks during the PEO process under different anodic voltages was observed. The surface and cross-sectional morphologies, composition, bonding strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the coatings were investigated by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, thin-film X-ray diffraction （TF-XRD）, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry （EDS）, surface roughness, direct pull-off test, ball-on-disk friction and wear test and potentiodynamic polarization test, respectively. The results showed that the evolution of discharging sparks during the PEO process directly influenced the microstructure of the PEO coatings and further influences the properties. When the anodic voltage increased from 320 V to 400 V, the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the coatings slowly increased, and all the bonding strength was higher than 60 MPa; further increasing the anodic voltages, especially up to 440 V, although the thickness and γ-AI203 crystallinity of the coatings further increased, the microstructure and properties of the coatings were obviously deteriorated.展开更多

Under a single electrostatic voltage, it is difficult to charge and absorb small particulates. A new method of superimposing an alternative voltage on the electrostatic voltage is provided in this paper.

It is demonstrated that an alternative voltage can significantly improve the collection efficiency in three aspects： preventing anti-corona, increasing the charge quantity of small particulates, and increasing the median particulate size by electric agglomeration. In addition, practical usage with the superposition of alternative voltage is provided, and the results are in agreement with the theoretical analysis.展开更多

The mechanism of improving the two BVs is investigated by analysing the leakage current components and by software simulation. The forward BV increases from 72 V to 149 V due to the good Schottky contact morphology. During the reverse bias, the buffer leakage in the Ohmic- drain HEMT increases significantly with the increase of the negative drain bias. For the Schottky-drain HEMT, the buffer leakage is suppressed effectively by the formation of the depletion region at the drain terminal. As a result, the reverse BV is enhanced from -5 V to -49 V by using a Schottky drain. Experiments and the simulation indicate that a Schottky drain is desirable for power electronic applications.展开更多

The approach was inspired by our finding that the classic instantaneous reactive power theory based algorithm was unsatisfactory in terms of isolating positive sequence fundamental active components exactly under non-ideal mains voltages. So, a modified ip-iq reference current calculation method was presented. With usage of the new method, not only the positive sequence but also the fundamental active current components can be accurately isolated from load current. A deadbeat closed-loop control model is built in order to eliminate both delay error and tracking error between reference voltages and compensation voltages under unbalanced and distorted mains voltages. Computer simulation results show that the proposed strategy is effective with better tracking ability and lower total harmonic distortion (THD). The strategy is also applied to a 10 kV substation with a local electrolysis manganese plant injecting a large amount of harmonics into the power system, and is proved to be more practical and efficient.展开更多

Because lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate is a solid solution of lead magnesium niobate （PMN） and lead titanate （PT）, there are two types of signals. One is wide with a time response of a microsecond, and the other superimposed with the wide signal is narrow with a time response of a nanosecond. The transverse LITV signals depend on the ratio of PMN to PT drastically. Under the irradiation of 28-ns pulsed KrF excimer laser with the 248-nm wavelength, the largest induced voltage is observed in the 0.50Pb（Mg1/3Nb2/3）O3-0.50 PbTiO3 films. Moreover, the effects of film thickness, substrates, and tilt angles of substrates are also investigated.展开更多

文摘The unbalanced voltages cause negative effects on the doubly fed induction generator （DFIG） sucn as torque pulsation,and increased stator current. Based on the symmetrical component theory, the torque pulsation is the consequence of the interaction of stator and rotor currents of different sequences. This paper presents a control technique to reduce the effect of unbalanced voltages on the DFIG in wind energy conversion systems. The negative sequence stator voltage is derived from the unbalanced three phase stator voltages. The compensated rotor voltage in terms of the derived negative sequence stator voltage and slip which minimizes the negative stator and rotor currents is proposed. The results from the simulation of control system with steady state model and dynamic model of the DFIG show that additional control loop with compensated voltage can significantly reduce torque and reactive power pulsations.

文摘Plasma electrolytic oxidation （PEO） coatings, formed under various anodic voltages （320-440 V） on biomedical NiTi alloy, are mainly composed of γ-AI203 crystal phase. The evolution of discharging sparks during the PEO process under different anodic voltages was observed. The surface and cross-sectional morphologies, composition, bonding strength, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the coatings were investigated by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, thin-film X-ray diffraction （TF-XRD）, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry （EDS）, surface roughness, direct pull-off test, ball-on-disk friction and wear test and potentiodynamic polarization test, respectively. The results showed that the evolution of discharging sparks during the PEO process directly influenced the microstructure of the PEO coatings and further influences the properties. When the anodic voltage increased from 320 V to 400 V, the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the coatings slowly increased, and all the bonding strength was higher than 60 MPa; further increasing the anodic voltages, especially up to 440 V, although the thickness and γ-AI203 crystallinity of the coatings further increased, the microstructure and properties of the coatings were obviously deteriorated.

文摘A novel control strategy for three-phase shunt active power filter (SAPF) was proposed to improve its performance under non-ideal mains voltages. The approach was inspired by our finding that the classic instantaneous reactive power theory based algorithm was unsatisfactory in terms of isolating positive sequence fundamental active components exactly under non-ideal mains voltages. So, a modified ip-iq reference current calculation method was presented. With usage of the new method, not only the positive sequence but also the fundamental active current components can be accurately isolated from load current. A deadbeat closed-loop control model is built in order to eliminate both delay error and tracking error between reference voltages and compensation voltages under unbalanced and distorted mains voltages. Computer simulation results show that the proposed strategy is effective with better tracking ability and lower total harmonic distortion (THD). The strategy is also applied to a 10 kV substation with a local electrolysis manganese plant injecting a large amount of harmonics into the power system, and is proved to be more practical and efficient.

文摘This paper presents an energy efficient architecture for successive approximation register(SAR)analog to digital converter(ADC).SAR ADCs with a capacitor array structure have been widely used because of its simple architecture and relatively high speed.However,conventional SAR ADCs consume relatively high energy due to the large number of capacitors used in the capacitor array and their sizes scaled up along with the number of bits.The proposed architecture reduces the energy consumption as well as the capacitor size by employing a new array architecture that scales down the reference voltages instead of scaling up the capacitor sizes.The proposed 12-bit SAR ADC is implemented in Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor(CMOS)0.13 um library using Cadence Virtuoso design tool.Simulation results and mathematical model demonstrate the overall energy savings of up to 97.3%compared with conventional SAR ADC,67%compared with the SAR ADC with split capacitor,and 35%compared with the resistor and capacitor(R&C)Hybrid SAR ADC.The ADC achieves an effective number of bits(ENOB)of 11.27 bits and consumes 61.7 uW at sampling rate of 2.56 MS/s,offering an energy consumption of 9.8 fJ per conversion step.The proposed SAR ADC offers 95.5%reduction in chip core area compared to conventional architecture,while occupying an active area of 0.088 mm2.

文摘The effect of substrate doping on the threshold voltages of buried channel pMOSFET based on strained-SiGe technology was studied.By physically deriving the models of the threshold voltages,it is found that the layer which inversely occurs first is substrate doping dependent,giving explanation for the variation of plateau observed in the C-V characteristics of this device,as the doping concentration increases.The threshold voltages obtained from the proposed model are-1.2805 V for buried channel and-2.9358 V for surface channel at a lightly doping case,and-3.41 V for surface channel at a heavily doping case,which agrees well with the experimental results.Also,the variations of the threshold voltages with several device parameters are discussed,which provides valuable reference to the designers of strained-SiGe devices.

文摘This paper reports that the transverse laser induced thermoelectric voltages （LITV） axe observed for the first time in the step flow growth （1- x）PD（Mg1/3Nb2/3）O3-xPbTiO3 （PMN-PT, x = 0.20, 0.33, 0.50） thin films deposited on vicinal-cut strontium titanate single crystal substrates. Because lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate is a solid solution of lead magnesium niobate （PMN） and lead titanate （PT）, there are two types of signals. One is wide with a time response of a microsecond, and the other superimposed with the wide signal is narrow with a time response of a nanosecond. The transverse LITV signals depend on the ratio of PMN to PT drastically. Under the irradiation of 28-ns pulsed KrF excimer laser with the 248-nm wavelength, the largest induced voltage is observed in the 0.50Pb（Mg1/3Nb2/3）O3-0.50 PbTiO3 films. Moreover, the effects of film thickness, substrates, and tilt angles of substrates are also investigated.

文摘As the effect of climate plays a significant role in corona discharge under combined voltages,the variation of corona inception voltage with different air pressure and humidities is studied.An experimental platform,based on a rod-to-plane electrode,is constructed with adjustable air pressure from 0.06 MPa to 0.10 MPa and with a relative humidity(RH)from 20%to 90%.The variation of ultraviolet(UV)photon count and corona inception voltage is obtained at various climate conditions under different applied voltages:the single AC,single DC,and combined AC-DC.It turns out that all the corona inception voltages decline with the drop of air pressure and the rise of humidity under different applied voltages.The influence between different voltages primarily relies on space charge,as more AC components make it easier to accumulate positive ions.The existence of AC makes ions move forward and backward while the existence of DC dominates the polarity of corona and general drift directions.At last the fitting formula of hybrid corona inception voltage combining air pressure and relative humidity is given.

文摘Due to overvoltage produced by inverter output,inverter-fed motor insulation systems often experience fast electrical aging process,especially when partial discharge(PD) is incepted.Before putting into use,the PD detection should be performed on inverter-fed motors at repetitive square voltages to avoid the PD caused insulation deterioration when the motors are collected to inverters having specific characteristics.However,unlike PD tests at AC/DC voltages proposed in IEC 60270,the PD detection at repetitive square voltages is much more complex because of serious interference generated by impulse generator.To solve the problem,ultra-high frequency(UHF) method seems recommendable for its preferable signal-to-noise ratio(SNR).The chief aim of this study is to investigate PD pulse and statistical characteristics of turn-to-turn insulation for inverter-fed traction motors.A square-shaped Archimedes antenna,specially designed for the PD detection at repetitive square voltages of fast rise times,was used to perform PD tests on turn-to-turn insulation models.Time and frequency analysis results indicate that energy component of generator disturbance and PD pulses are mainly distributed in the 0-0.5 GHz and 0.6-1.5 GHz range,respectively.Based on the results,suitable filter was designed for power disturbance suppression.Additionally,resorting to the sensor unit(i.e.antenna and filter) and the PD test system,the PD statistical features at square voltages of different frequencies were obtained.Experimental results show that higher frequency will give rise,statistically,to PD of lower magnitudes distributing at smaller phases.A reasonable interpretation of this phenomenon was presented.Lastly,according to the PD statistical features,some suggestions for the PD detection system design,generator parameter optimization and the PD pulse extracting were given.The results of this work would be beneficial to the increase of the sensitivity when performing the PD detection on insulation systems for inverter-fed motors at repetitive square voltages and thus,improving the reliability of inverter-fed motors.

文摘The micro arc oxidation(MAO)coatings with different concentrations of Ca,P and Zn elements are successfully formed on the titanium substrate at the different applied voltages.After MAO treatment,the MAO coating exhibits the porous surface structure and composed of anatase and rutile TiO2 phases.Meanwhile,the average size and density of micro-pores on the MAO coatings have been modified via the adjusting the applied voltages.In addition,the contents of the incorporated elements such as Zn,Ca and P elements in the MAO coatings have been optimized.The bonding strength test results reveal that the MAO coating shows higher bonding strength,which is up to 45±5 MPa.Compared to the pure Ti plate,the MAO coating formed at 350 and 400 V show good apatite-inducing ability.Meanwhile,the MAO coating containing Zn,Ca and P elements have better antibacterial ability for E.coli and S.aureus.Thus,the incorporation of Zn,Ca and P elements was an effective method to improve the antibacterial ability.Moreover,the concentrations of Zn,Ca and P elements could be adjusted with the changing of the applied voltages.As a result,the enhancement of the antibacterial ability on the MAO coating surfaces was depended on the comprehensive effect of the incorporated elements and the surface property of MAO coatings.

文摘p-GaN cap layer has been recognized as a commercial technology to manufacture enhanced-mode(E-mode)AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor(HEMT);however,the difficult activation of Mg doping and etching damage of p-GaN limit the further improvement of device performance.Thus,the more cost-effective cap layer has attracted wide attention in GaN-based HEMT.In this paper,p-type tin monoxide(p-SnO)was firstly investigated as a gate cap to realize E-mode AlGaN/GaN HEMT by both Silvaco simulation and experiment.Simulation results show that by simply adjusting the thickness(50 to 200 nm)or the doping concentration(3×10^(17)to 3×10^(18)cm^(-3))of p-SnO,the threshold voltage(V_(th))of HEMT can be continuously adjusted in the range from zero to 10 V.Simultaneously,the device demonstrated a drain current density above 120 mA mm^(-1),a gate breakdown voltage(V_(BG))of 7.5 V and a device breakdown voltage(V_(B))of 2470 V.What is more,the etching-free AlGaN/GaN HEMT with sputtered p-SnO gate cap were fabricated,and achieved a positive V_(th) of 1 V,V_(BG) of 4.2 V and V_(B) of 420 V,which confirms the application potential of the p-SnO film as a gate cap layer for E-mode GaN-based HEMT.This work is instructive to the design and manufacture of p-oxide gate cap E-mode AlGaN/GaN HEMT with low cost.
