Musician angels. Study of the narrative evangelic iconographic types
2012
El presente artículo pretende ofrecer una nueva vía de análisis de las imágenes musicales a través del estudio de los tipos iconográficos y las fuentes literarias e icónicas que los configuran. En este caso se ha optado por realizar un estudio del tipo del ángel músico en la narración evangélica y las razones de su inclusión en los diferentes tipos narrativos del arte visual cristiano. The aim of this article is to offer a new way to analyse musical images trough the study of iconographic types and their literary and iconic sources. More precisely, this paper focuses on the apparition of the musician angel in the narrative evangelic context and the reasons for its inclusion in the various n…
On the Statistical Properties of Phase Crossings and Random FM Noise in Double Rayleigh Fading Channels
2016
In this paper, we study the statistics of phase processes and random frequency modulation (FM) noise encountered in double Rayleigh fading channels. The Rayleigh processes making up the double Rayleigh channel are assumed to be independent but not necessarily identically distributed. The Doppler power spectral densities of these processes are supposed to be symmetric about the carrier frequency. Under these fading conditions, we derive first an expression for the joint probability density function (jpdf) of the phase process and its rate of change. Capitalizing on this jpdf formula, we then investigate the probability density function (pdf) and cumulative distribution function (cdf) of rand…
Impact of RES penetration on the frequency dynamics of the 500 kV vietnamese power system
2019
The increase of renewable energy sources (RES) typically operating as converter-interfaced generation (CIG) is progressively causing a significant change of power systems operation paradigm. The reduction of the overall available kinetic energy and the consequent impact on the dynamic response of the system is a relevant issue currently under investigation in academic and industrial scopes. The work analyzes the impact of different CIG penetration in the three areas of the 500 kV Vietnamese power system, North, Center and South. The system is modified substituting conventional synchronous generation with converter-interfaced generation. The models of power converters and corresponding contr…
The Results of Changing the Current Solution Concept of Universal Motor Gear Reducers with Helical Gears
2021
By analysing and comparing the existing solutions of universal gear reducers with helical gears of the leading manufacturers, it can be noticed the effort to increase the load capacity of the gear reducer within the same axis height. In this way, the manufacturers can offer smaller (cheaper) gear reducers, as well as to simultaneously increase the values of the largest gear ratios. This concept enables the offer of lower-stage (cheaper) gear reducers with higher gear ratios in certain segments of gear ratios. By these efforts, it is reached the maximum, but the further increase is possible only by changing the current concept of universal gear drives. Within this paper, it is given an overv…
A mathematical model for the prediction of the injected mass diagram of a S.I. engine gas injector
2013
A mathematical model of gaseous fuel solenoid injector for spark ignition engine has been realized and validated through experimental data. The gas injector was studied with particular reference to the complex needle motion during the opening and closing phases, which strongly affects the amount of fuel injected. As is known, in fact, when the injector nozzle is widely open, the mass flow depends only on the fluid pressure and temperature upstream the injector: this allows one to control the injected fuel mass acting on the “injection time” (the period during which the injector solenoid is energized). This makes the correlation between the injected fuel mass and the injection time linear, e…
Model and Control Strategy Simulation of a Racing Series Hybrid Car
2014
Action-reaction principle of Energetic Macroscopic Representation (EMR) and its Inversion Based Control (IBC) is used to organize subsystems interconnection of Noao, a plug-in series hybrid race car equipped with lithium-ion battery pack and an engine/generator set as its range extender, according to the physical causality. Results from drive test of the real car are used to validate the model. The objective of this paper is to provide a dynamic model of this car in order to improve its control scheme and analyse the impact of its optimisation.
Energetic macroscopic representation and inversion based control of fuel cell in a series hybrid race vehicle system
2020
This paper studies the replacement of engine and generator as range extender in a hybrid racing car with a fuel cell system. A model of the original system of the car using range extender consisting of an internal combustion engine and electric generator has been developed respecting the action-reaction principle used by energetic macroscopic representation (EMR) and its inversion based control (IBC) to organise its subsystems interconnection according to the physical causality. Results from drive tests of the real car on racing circuit are used to validate the model. The objective of this paper is to study the parameterisation and the integration of fuel cell stack components based on this…
A Simulation Analysis of VSM Control for RES plants in a Small Mediterranean Island
2020
The paper presents an application of Virtual Synchronous Machine control for managing inverter-interfaced renewable energy sources in a small Mediterranean island not supplied by the main grid. In the proposed analysis, the island's renewables-based generators area assumed interfaced to the grid by voltage source converters with a swing controller and a vector-current controller with two different options for the reference current for regulating the voltage at the Point of Common Coupling and the active power output. The system, modeled in PScad environment, allows to verify the response of the renewables-based generators with VSM control in the presence of a fault in the grid.
Numerical and experimental validation of a LiFePO4 battery model at steady state and transient operations
2013
In the paper some of the battery models proposed in literature are analysed in order to predict the battery performance and, then, make sure that the Battery Management System (BMS) that is a key component to check and control the status of the batteries within their specified safe operating conditions, works in best conditions.
Energy and environmental assessment of a traction lithium-ion battery pack for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles
2019
Abstract Traction batteries are a key factor in the environmental sustainability of electric mobility and, therefore, it is necessary to evaluate their environmental performance to allow a comprehensive sustainability assessment of electric mobility. This article presents an environmental assessment of a lithium-ion traction battery for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, characterized by a composite cathode material of lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4) and lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide Li(NixCoyMn1-x-y)O2. Composite cathode material is an emerging technology that promises to combine the merits of several active materials into a hybrid electrode to optimize performance and reduce cost…
