This paper presents the electric power system analysis and design of an expanding steel cogeneration plant. The power system configuration and the equipment parameters of the cogeneration plant are well designed according to the power flow, short circuit, voltage fluctuation, harmonic flow and transient stability analyses. According to the power flow analysis, the site and capacity of shunt capacitor banks as well as the tap position of transformers are determined to maintain all the buses voltage at acceptable range and to keep the power factor above 0.95. Also, to comply with the restriction of circuit breaker capacity, the high impedance transformers are designed even if they consumed more reactive power from the system. In addition, the voltage fluctuation resulted from the dramatic reactive power variation of hot strip rolling mill can be greatly reduced if proper static var compensator (SVC) is installed. The significant voltage sag due to the starting of induction motor can be effectively improved by applying wye-delta transformer starter. Furthermore, the total voltage harmonic distortion (THDV) and the total current demand distortion (TDDI) are both acceptable if the proper filters are installed. It is also found that the cogeneration system can keep stable operation in isochronous mode by applying the governor control action and the load shedding scheme after tie line tripping. It is concluded that the power system analyses is important for the steel plant with cogeneration unit to identify hidden problems and remedy strategy to ensure the system power quality and operation performance.

This paper describes improvements developed in an arc welding power supply based on resonant inverters. A new stand-by operation sequence based on sliding phase is proposed in order to reduce the discharge capacitor size. This stand-by solution also relieves the voltage specification of the resonant inductor. The interleaving operation of paralleled stages and the output connection wires are used to minimize the output capacitor current ripple and so extend the power supply's lifetime. Moreover, synchronous rectification is proposed in order to increase the efficiency and reduce the operation temperature of the output power stage. Finally, sequences are described for establishing and extinguishing arcs. TIG welding is selected for testing operations.

This paper presents a new method for the estimation of surface temperature of a sheet using temperature sensors at different positions of the sheet. The proposed method is developed and designed in such a way that it can estimate the temperature profile over the entire sheet through its spatial harmonics and control the spatial harmonics to obtain the desired temperature profile. Computational cost is also considered during the development of the proposed method. A PI controller is used to control each spatial harmonic to achieve the desired temperature profile over the sheet. The proposed estimation method of the temperature profile is based on the two-dimensional FFT. Each component of the two-dimensional space temperature harmonics is controlled by adjusting the heater temperatures. The performance of the proposed temperature estimation technique is tested in simulation for different desired temperature profile to compare with a simple method of temperature estimation based on the weighted average temperature of the sensors surrounding the location of interest. Thereafter, the performance of the proposed temperature control technique based on the spatial harmonics is compared with the conventional control technique in simulation. The superiority of the proposed method for the estimation of temperatures and hence the accuracy of the developed controller and its prospective real-time application is evidenced by the results.

Airport electrical distribution network has a number of non-linear and single-phase loads that cause imbalances, resulting in significant amount of current flow in the neutral conductor, even under normal operating conditions. The power quality of the airport distribution system is adversely affected by its lighting load controlled by a constant current controller. This paper addresses the related issues of unbalances, harmonics and neutral current in a typical airport power distribution network. Efforts have been made to estimate the required size of the neutral conductor given the ratings of various loads in the distribution system. The lighting load has been modeled (i) as an incandescent lamp controlled by a power electronic controller (ii) as a fluorescent lamp having an electronic ballast as the starter and being controlled by an AC voltage controller. It is found that the neutral current flow is about 300% of the full-load current rating when the lighting system is being controlled by a constant current controller. The paper explores two solution methodologies namely, application of zigzag transformer and application of star delta transformer along with a single phase active filter, for reducing the neutral current. The relative merits and demerits of these proposed solutions have been brought out.

This paper deals with investigation on the performance of voltage and frequency controller (VFC) of a wind power generation using a capacitor excited isolated asynchronous generator (IAG) feeding dynamic loads. The amplitude of load currents is estimated using the low pass filter to control the voltage and frequency of IAG system. Three-leg voltage source converter (VSC) with a battery energy storage system (BESS) and non-isolated T-connected transformer is used as a VFC. The proposed VFC works as a voltage regulator, a load leveler, a load balancer and a harmonic eliminator. The wind power driven IAG system is modeled and simulated in the MATLAB using Simulink and sim power system (SPS) toolboxes.

This is the second paper of a series on data center design. The first paper "Reliability of Example Data Center Designs Selected by Tier Classifications," presented at the 2010 I&CPS Conference addressed electrical designs. This paper will discuss the reliability of the mechanical cooling systems that would be required for data centers with similar designs to the examples used in the previous paper. The review of the metrics of reliability engineering from the first paper will also be included. The data center industry has come to rely on "tier classifications" as presented in a number of papers by the Uptime Institute [1] as a gradient scale of data center configurations and requirements from least (Tier 1) to most reliable (Tier IV). This paper will apply the principles and modeling techniques of reliability engineering to specific examples that were selected based on gradient scale provided by the Tier Classifications and discuss the results.

Many of the existing fingerprint biometric sensors have limitations with regard to liveness detection. At Brunel University research is being pursued with a view to developing novel fingerprint sensor based on micro/nano technology. In this paper, we report work in progress of a micro sensor capable of detecting ionic activity of sweat pores on a finger ridge. The multi-physics modeling software (COMSOL) was used to create an electrical model of the sensor and its response to charge coupling in conducting liquid was simulated. The experimental results obtained under various operating conditions agreed well with the simulation results.

To promote the PV installation, a large scale photovoltaic (PV) system installed in the Main Stadium of the 2009 World Games has been investigated for the design of selling price of PV power generation. The PV power generation is simulated according to the hourly solar irradiation and temperature provided by the weather bureau. The cash flow of annual power generation, the O&M cost and the capital investment cost of the PV system is then used to derive the payback years and the internal rate of return for the PV system under different selling price of PV power generation. The voltage variation and the power system loss of the distribution feeder which serves the Main Stadium are also performed by executing the 3-φ load flow analysis for the impact analysis of the PV system. The results indicate that the reduction of voltage drop and power system loss can be obtained with the PV system installed to provide the dispersed generation for the local loads. However, the PV system penetration is limited due to the violation of voltage variation introduced by the large intermittent PV power generation. The selling price of PV generation has to be designed according to the conditions of solar irradiation and temperature so that sufficient incentives can be provided to encourage more customers to participate the PV program.

This paper discuss the optimization of safety, schedule efficiency and cost effectiveness of delivering projects for the mining industry through implementation of pre-assemblies and modularization. This approach helps with reduction of the required on-site labor force by transferring a portion of the required effort-hours off-site. Projects in the mining industry are typically remotely located and therefore require additional effort hours dedicated to building workforce accommodations, camps and associated support infrastructures. All the required additional efforts combined with the project's remote location tends to impose additional constraints on safety, productivity and project delivery schedule.
