  • For the development of wind turbine, generally simulator is used. Simulator include wind turbine components. e.g blades, pitch and pitching method, rotor, yaw system, tower, drive train and so on. Few the more, it include a external circumstance. e.g wind speed, wind direction, air density. these basic parameters be used for the control of wind turbine by wind turbine controller in wind turbine simulator. The wind turbine controller can be designed in the wind turbine simulator. But a developer must make the real control system that will be made using PLC or PC or other processor. The developer must verify the function of control system. that is control algorithm , I/O function, communication, sequence and so on. This verification is possible if we substitute the real wind turbine control system for wind turbine controller in the simulator.

  • Linear pulse rootor (LPM) be suitable a field where smooth linear rootion of high precision is required, because it's structured with minute teeth pitch in airgap of between and stator and roover(forcer). Force and position of LPM are effected sensitively by the teeth pitch, air gap, permanent magnet and excitation current. So, LPM is much important to analyze the force characteristics. llis paper was awlied to perrreance roothed for force calculation at airgap. The airgap of LPM is maintained from the pressure generated by an air-bearing. Simplified airflow and permeance methods will be used to calculate the air gap under static conditions. Therefore, the maximum available force is then derived using the coenergy method with variable air gap, also normal force and linear thrust was acquired from variable minute displacement 1[mm]. 1[mm].

  • In this paper, a methodology for the power control of a wind turbine, which is the variable-speed and variable-pitch (VSVP) control system, is introduced. This control methodology maximizes the capability of the turbine to extract maximum power from the wind in the regions with low wind speeds. Further, it regulates the wind-turbine power as the rated power in the case of the regions with high wind speeds. A simple drive train model is used to design the VSVP control system. The methodology for VSVP control is mechanized by controlling the generator torque and blade pitch. Finally, some simulation results for the VSVP control to a MW wind turbine are discussed in this paper.

  • An electro-mechanical actuator (EMA) is an actuator that combines an electric motor with a mechanical power transmission elements, and it is suitable for urban air mobility (UAM) in terms of design freedom and maintenance. In this paper, the author presents the research results of the EMA that controls the rotor blade pitch angle of UAM. The actuator is based on an inverted roller screw and controls the blade pitch angle through a two-bar linkage. The dynamic equations for the actuator alone and the blade pitching motion with actuator were derived. For the latter, the equivalent moment of inertia is variable depending on the link angle due to the two-bar linkage. The variations of the equivalent moments of inertia are analyzed and compared in terms of the nut motion and the blade pitch motion. For an example model, the variation of the equivalent moment of inertia of the former is smaller than the latter, so it is judged that the dynamic equations derived from the point of view of the nut motion is suitable for the controller design.

  • An analysis of the dynamic behavior between disk and roller has been performed when the torque is transmitted to toroidal IVT (Infinitely Variable Transmission). The contact area, shape and pressure with elliptical shapes between disk and roller are computed as the transmission ratios are changed. This study will give the information of contact shapes between roller-input dist and roller-output disk which are working under the most severe condition. The computed results are expected to guide the design criteria for the enhanced endurance li(e. Furthermore, the investigation of contact behaviors is very crucial to develop the traction oil that the efficiency of IVT system is most dependent on.

  • The paper presents a simulation model and analysis of a grid-connected variable speed wind energy conversion scheme (VSWECS) using the PSCAD/EMTDC software. The modeled system uses a variable speed drive, a fixed pitch angle, a synchronous generator as a wind generator and an AC-DC-AC conversion scheme, which facilitates the wind generation to efficiently operate under varying wind speed while connected to the distribution network. The power output of the WECS is controlled by the AC-DC-AC conversion scheme, the objective of which is to capture the maximum active power under varying wind conditions and to keep the voltage magnitude of the terminal bus at a specific level. Aerodynamic models are applied for a wind turbine model. An simulation analysis of the scheme in terms of its responding to wind variations is also presented.

  • Taguchi’s experimental design was employed in the melt spinning of molten mesophase pitch to produce carbon fibers. The textures of the obtained carbon fibers were radial with varied crack angles, as observed by scanning electron microscopy and polarized optical imaging. The diameter, crack angle, preferred orientation, and tensile modulus of the produced samples were examined to investigate the influence of four spinning variables. The relative importance of the variables has been emphasized for each characteristic. The results show that thicker carbon fiber can be obtained with a smaller entry angle, a higher spinning temperature, a reduced winding speed, and an increased extrusion pressure. The winding speed was found to be the most significant factor in relation to the fiber diameter. While it was observed that thicker carbon fiber generally shows improved preferred orientation, the most important variable affecting the preferred orientation was found to be the entry angle. As the entry angle decreased from 120° to 60°, the shear flow was enhanced to induce more ordered radial alignment of crystallite planes so as to obtain carbon fibers with a higher degree of preferred orientation. As a consequence, the crack angle was increased, and the tensile modulus was improved.

  • A series of activated carbons were prepared from coconut shells and coal-tar pitch binder by physical activation with steam in this study. The effect of variable processes such as activation temperature, activation time and ratio of mixing was investigated for optimizing those preparation parameters. The activation processes were carried out continuously. The nitrogen adsorption isotherms at 77 K on pellet-shaped activated carbons show the same trend of Type I by IUPAC classification. The average pore sizes were about 19-21${\AA}$. The specific surface areas ($S_{BET}$) of pellet typed ACs increased with increasing the activation temperature and time. Specific surface area of AC treated for 90 min at temperature $900^{\circ}C$ was 1082 $m^2/g$. The methylene blue numbers continuously increased with increasing the activation temperature and time. On the other hand, iodine numbers highly increased till activation time of 60 min, but the rate of increase of iodine numbers decreased after that time. This indicates that new micropores were created and the existing micropores turned into mesopores and macropores because of increased reactivity of carbon surface and $H_2O$.

  • This paper presents a modeling and simulation of a fuzzy controller for maximum power extraction of a grid-connected wind energy conversion system with a link of a rectifier and an inverter. It discusses the maximum power control algorithm for a wind turbine and proposes, in a graphical form, the relationships of wind turbine output, rotor speed, power coefficient, tip-speed ratio with wind speed when the wind turbine is operated under the maximum power control. The control objective is to always extract maximum power from wind and transfer the power to the utility by controlling both the pitch angle of the wind turbine blades and the inverter firing angle. Pitch control method is mechanically complicated, but the control performance is better than that of the stall regulation method. The simulation results performed on MATLAB will show the variation of generator's rotor angle and rotor speed, pitch angle, and generator output.
