This paper is concerned with the design of the optimal gains of the controller in the speed control system for the induction motor controlled by the microprocessor. The system is modelled with the discrete-time state equation, considering the time delay, for the facility of the optimization techniques. Introducing the conjugate gradient descent method, as the optimization technique, are derived the optimal gains, the gains which give the best transient characteristics. At the optimal gains obtained, the theoretcal transient responses are verified by experimental ones on a 5HP induction motor drive system.

To peruse the free vibration of curved functionally graded piezoelectric (FGP) nanosize beam in thermal environment, nonlocal elasticity theory is applied for modeling the nano scale effect. The governing equations are obtained via the energy method. Analytically Navier solution is employed to solve the governing equations for simply supported boundary conditions. Solving these equations enables us to estimate the natural frequency for curved FGP nanobeam under the effect of a uniform temperature change and external electric voltage. The results determined are verified by comparing the results by available ones in literature. The effects of various parameters such as nonlocality, uniform temperature changes, external electric voltage, gradient index, opening angle and aspect ratio of curved FGP nanobeam on the natural frequency are successfully discussed. The results revealed that the natural frequency of curved FGP nanobeam is significantly influenced by these effects.

This paper proposes a novel RF MEMS dc-contact switch with stiff membrane on a quartz substrate. The uniqueness of this work lies in the utilization of a seesaw mechanism to restore the movable part to its rest position. The switching action is done by using separate pull-down and pull-up electrodes, and hence operation of the switch does not rely on the elastic recovery force of the membrane. One of the main problems faced by electrostatically actuated MEMS switches is the high operational voltages, which results from bending of the membrane, due to internal stress gradient. This is resolved by using a stiff and thick membrane. This membrane consists of flexible meanders, for easy movement between the two states. The device operates with an actuation voltage of 6.43 V, an insertion loss of -0.047 dB and isolation of -51.82 dB at 2 GHz.

This paper presents a method for optimal load shedding in preserving a system security following abnormal condition as well as a sudden major supply outage. The method takes account of static characteristic of generators control and voltage and system frequency characteristic of loads. The optimization problem is solved by a gradient technique to get the maximal effect by the least quantity of load shedding considering line overloads as well as voltage disturbances and system frequency. The method is illustrated on a 8-bus system. It has been found that the use of the proposed algorithm for model systems alleviate the line overload more efficiently than the former method. It is believed that this method will be useful in security studies and operational planning.

For a Switched Reluctance Motor(SRM) drive, the important things are 1) reducing torque ripple, 2) improving efficiency, 3) sensorless speed control, 4) accurate position. The position information impotant for the efficiency and smoothness drives. Since SRMs characteristics are nonlinear. It is difficult to estimated phase current in saturation region. This paper describes a method for indirect sensing of the rotor position in SRM which use both voltage and current. The method obtains rotor position by using unconducting phase. The information about the rotor position is achieved by differentiating the unconducting phase current or the voltage gradient. And then, this paper presents a torque control with indirect rotor position detection methods. This torque control is achieved by developing a detailed nonlinear model of the motor.

The paper represents the fabrication of an electrostatic micro actuator for optical devices. The micro actuator consists of a plate suspended four p+ silicon cantilevers and an electrode on a glass substrate. The cantilever curls down because of the residual stress gradient in p+ silicon. When input voltage is applied between the p+ cantilevers and the electrode. the cantilevers are pulled toward the electrode by the electrostatic force. The displacement of the plate is measured with a laser displacement meter for various input voltage and frequencies.

In AC electrowetting, it has been reported that there is a flow inside droplets. The flow characteristics such as flow rate, direction and the pattern of streamline are altered according to the frequency range of applied voltage. However, the mechanism of the flow has not been explained yet. This work is concentrated on investigation of the flow mechanism when high-frequency voltage is applied to droplets. We propose that this phenomenon arises from the electro-thermal flow. A numerical analysis is performed for the needle-electrode-plane geometry in which the Coulombic force term is included in the Navier-Stokes equation. According to our analysis, electrical charge is generated due to conductivity gradient which is originated from the nonuniform Joule heating of fluid medium. The result of the analysis is compared with experimental result.

After the short-term dynamics due to the major disturbance are over, the power system may lead to viability crisis state wherein there is possibility of cascading damage. This paper presents an emergency control algorithm to alleviate the obstacles of system frequency or bus voltage during the viability crisis state. The algorithm considers the effects of controlling reactive power sources for load shedding and generation reallocation in order to alleviate the obstacles. The problem is decomposed into a subproblem I and a subproblem II. The former minimizes system frequency deviation from nominal value and the latter voltage violation of load buses. The optimization problem is solved by a reduced gradient technique which can handle a great number of inequality constraints more easily. It has been verified that the use of the proposed algorithm for IEEE 14 bus system alleviates the obstacles efficiently during the viability crisis.

In this paper an attempt is made to understand the voltage stability when the power system networks are represented by the differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) form. The problem is analyzed by interpreting the shape of constraint manifold, based on the singular perturbation model. The global picture or constraint manifold is given to show how the local shape or constraint manifold can be used to guess for the system behavior. The gradient analysis is used systematically to obtain a local shape or the constraint manifold.

A superconducting parallel bifilar winding shows the phenomenon which is known as 'fast quench'. We analyzed the temperature characteristics on the winding by computer simulation, and confirmed theses by experiment. The temperature of the quenched point rose gradually as the source voltage was increased. The temperature changed radically as first, but had a gentle slope after a few milliseconds. As the source voltage was large, the initial quenched length also increased. The points in this quenched length showed almost the same temperature. but the points where initial quench had not occurred showed radical temperature gradient. We could observe that the temperature of the whole wire increased simultaneously as the fast quench occurred on the superconducting parallel bifilar winding, because a number of quenched points in that wire appeared at the same time.
