Experimental study in coflow jet flames has been conducted to investigate effects of adding Helium to coflowing air-side in self-excitation. The Differences between buoyancy-driven and diffusive-thermal self-excitations with the same order of O(1.0 Hz) in self-excitation are explored and discussed in laminar coflow jet flames.

A Experimental study on flame extinction behavior was investigated using He curtain flow with counter triple co-flow burner. Buoyancy force was suppressed up to a microgravity level of $10^{-2}-10^{-3}g$ by using He curtain flow. The stability maps were provided with a functional dependency of diluent mole fraction and global strain rate to clarify the differences in flame extinction behavior. The flame extinction curves had C-shapes at various global strain rates. The oscillation and extinction modes were different each other in terms of the global strain rate, and the flames extinction modes could be classified into five modes such as (I) and (II): an extinction through the shrinkage of the outmost edge flame forward the flame center after self-excitation and without self-excitation, respectively, (III): an extinction through rapid advancement of a flame hole while the outmost edge flame is stationary, (IV): self-excitation occurs in the outermost edge flame and the center edge flame and then a donut shaped flame is formed and/or the flame is entirely extinguished, (V): shrinkage of the outermost edge flame without self-excitation followed by shrinkage or survival of the center flame. These oscillation and extinction modes could be identified well to the behavior of edge flame. The result also showed that the edge flame was influenced significantly by the conductive heat losses to the flame center or ambient He curtain flow.

The value of this paper is to use reduced size apparatuses to perform field measurement in order to identify and validate that the harmonic-current effects are due to the presence of self-excitation capacitance connected at stator's terminals of the studied SEIG. This paper has presented the measured electrical quantities of a three-phase $\Delta$-connected wind induction generator (WIG) under sudden connection and disconnection of resistive loads. An intelligent power-system recorder/monitor has been employed to measure three-phase voltages and currents of the studied system at the terminals of the studied WIG and the load. The measured electrical quantities have been analyzed. Total harmonic distortion (THD) of current using cumulative probability density function has been employed to determine the penetration of harmonic distortion at load side. The results show that the harmonic currents generated by the studied WIG can be severely amplified by the connected self-excited capacitance at the stator's terminals.

Power system restoration following a massive blackout starts with re-energizing primary transmission lines at first. Some factors such as Ferranti effect, and line charging reactive power should be considered in this stage. Severe overvoltage may be induced by the Ferranti effect at the lines since it would be usually no load condition. And lack of capacitive reactive power will cause the self-excitation. This paper presents a new precise algorithm to analyze the primary restorative transmission system focused on the two major static overvoltage problems during the early restoration process.

Service restoration following a complete or partial collapse starts with reenergize a transmission line from black-start generators. Voltage problems can arise by Ferranti effect as unloaded transmission line is reenergized. This paper presents analytical results on the primary restorative transmission system focused on the voltage problem during the early restoration process. Methodologies to handle load pick-up compensating Ferranti effect. and terminal voltage and reactive capability limitation of black-start generators about self-excitation are presented. An algorithm for static analysis about these methodologies is developed, and EMTDC simulation for verifying the efficiency of the algorithm is performed.

Induction motor requires a rotating magnetic for rotation. Current required to generate the rotating magnetic field is magnetizing current. This magnetizing current is associated with the reactive power. This reactive power must be supplied from source side. Therefore, the power factor of the induction motor is low. So, the capacitor is installed on the motor terminals to compensate for the low power factor. Power supply company has recommended to maintain a high power factor to the customer. If the capacitor current is greater than the magnetizing current of the motor, there is a possibility that the self-excitation occurs. So it is necessary to calculate the optimal capacity capacitor current does not exceed the magnetizing current. In this study, we first compute the no-load current and the reactive power of the induction motor and then calculates the limit of the maximum power factor without causing self-excitation.

A new excitation method of switched reluctance moor drive is described in this paper. This motor produces reluctance torque by mutual action between tyro phases as well as conventional self reluctance torque. The change of self inductance and mutual inductance are used to produce torque. This paper suggests the operational principle, the mechanism of torque product and the driving characteristics of Switched Reluctance Motor with 2 phase excitation against conventional SRM experimentally. The energy conversion ratio is increased because the next phase is excited after one phase is already excited. Acoustic noise of SRM with 2 phase excitation is decreased than that of conventional SRM due to the mechanism of torque production.

We experimentally investigated lifted propane jet flames diluted with nitrogen to obtain flame-stability maps based on heat-loss-induced self-excitation. We found that heat-loss-induced self-excitations are caused by conductive heat loss from premixed flame branches to trailing diffusion flames as well as soot radiation. The conductive-heat-loss-induced self-excitation at frequencies less than 0.1 Hz is explained well by a suggested mechanism, whereas the oscillation of the soot region induces a self-excitation of lift-off height of the order of 0.1 Hz. The suggested mechanism is also verified from additive experiments in a room at constant temperature and humidity. The heat-loss-induced self-excitation is explained by the Strouhal numbers as a function of the relevant parameters.

A self-centering wall (SCW) is a lateral resistant rocking system that incorporates posttensioned (PT) tendons to provide a self-centering capacity along with dampers to dissipate energy. This paper investigates the rocking responses of a SCW with base viscous dampers under a sinusoidal-type pulse considering yielding and fracture behaviour of the PT tendon. The differences in the overturning acceleration caused by different initial forces in the PT tendon are computed by the theoretical method. The exact analytical solution to the linear approximate equation of motion is also provided for slender SCWs. Finally, the effects of the ductile behaviour of PT tendons on the rocking response of a SCW are analysed. The results demonstrate that SCWs exhibit two overturning modes under pulse excitation. The overturning region with Mode 1 in the PT force cases separates the safe region of the wall into two parts: region S1 with an elastic tendon and region S2 with a fractured tendon. The minimum overturning acceleration of a SCW with an elastic-brittle tendon becomes insensitive to excitation frequency as the PT force increases. After the plastic behaviour of the PT tendon is considered, the minimum overturning acceleration of a SCW is increased significantly in the whole range of the studied w_g/p.

This paper describes the performance analysis and design of single-phase self-excited induction generators. In this study, it is proposed to design the proper capacitance for self-excitation and voltage regulation, also. This methods are based on the induced MMF equations between main and the auxiliary winding. For the least influence between the two capacitors, the self-excited capacitor is selected under no load condition, while the series capacitor is designed under loaded condition. For the steady state analysis, the equivalent circuit of single-phase induction generators is used as circuit modeling using the double-revolving field theory. The validity of proposal methods and designed generator system will be confirmed by experimental and computed results.
