This paper deals with a fixed-frequency variable-speed motor/generator with 3-level VSI (Voltage Source Inverter) cascade. The 3-level VSI is applied to a DASM (Doubly-fed ASynchronous Machine) for large pump storage plants. The extension to 3 levels is th ...
This paper reports a new MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) compatible actuator that can operate near an MRI without degrading its imaging quality. A high-power electrostatic motor is introduced and its MR-compatibility is examined, both experimentally and t ...
This paper deals with the determination of large synchronous machine characteristic quantities using an extended 2D-finite element method and based on the knowledge of the geometry and of the physical properties of the electrical and magnetic circuits of t ...
A digital lock-in amplifier has been used to perform V-I time series acquisition when transport currents with amplitude above Ic are driven through Bi-2223 tapes. The current waveform is triangular, sinusoidal or with arbitrary shape, and is applied for se ...
This paper derives new tracking results for adaptive filtering algorithms operating in the presence of two sources of non-stationarities: a carrier
frequency offset and random variations. Both impairments are common in digital communications due to varia ...
Using an algebraic formalism based on matrices in SL(2,R), we explicitly give the Teichmüller spaces of Riemann surfaces of signature (0,4) (X pieces), (1,2) ("Fish" pieces) and (2,0) in trace coordinates. The approach, based upon gluing together two build ...
This paper presents a hybrid energy storage system based on Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES), where the charging and discharging is done within maximum efficiency conditions. As the maximum efficiency conditions impose the level of converted power, an ...
In a concern for sustainable development, the rational use of electrical energy implies having transportation networks capable of transmitting large quantities of electrical energy over long distances as well as adequate storage plants. This double require ...
Precise positioning over a long stroke is required in various fields. Important advances in the field of electromagnetic motors, piezoelectric actuators and bearing technology allow nanometric and sub-arc-second resolution for linear or rotary actuators, r ...
Artificial respirators use an electric source of energy to supply the various active components which control the airflow. A portable or autonomous respirator (emergency, war, ambulance, etc), needs a battery or an energy container to be supplied with grea ...
