A Micro Wind Generation System for Local DoS Applications
2010
In this paper a wind electrical power generation system for Distributed on Site (DoS) applications is proposed. This system was developed and conceived in order to guarantee simple installation, use and service, obtaining a product that can be easily industrialized and put into the market with limited costs. The field of application of such an electrical generation system is addressed towards domestic or at the most toward condominium applications concerning moreover the opportunity of working in addition to combined photovoltaic and solar-thermal systems to enhance the renewable energy generation at house level (DoS). The proposed system has its hot spot in the blades shape, in the wind fl…
A methodology for evaluation of operational zones for distributed generation based on DFIG
2017
This study developed a methodology to determine zones of acceptable voltage profiles for wind power generation connected to distribution systems. Three load profiles (residential, commercial and industrial) connected to the distribution network were analyzed considering the impact on voltage levels and steady-state stability for different wind speeds and wind generator control strategies. The wind generator model is based on doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) and were developed using Matlab/Simulink. The presented methodology can be used to map the impact on operation of different types of control, the time of day and the available wind speed and it is not limited only for DFIG. The resu…
Active heave compensation of floating wind turbine installation using a catamaran construction vessel
2021
Abstract The application of floating wind turbines is limited by the high cost that increases with the water depth. Offshore installation and maintenance continue to consume a high percentage of the project budget. To improve the installation efficiency of the floating offshore wind turbine, a novel concept is proposed by the SFI MOVE project. Several wind turbine superstructure components are preassembled onshore and carried to the installation site by a catamaran construction vessel. Each assembly can then be installed using only one lift, and the concept is less sensitive to weather conditions. In this paper, a control algorithm of the proposed hydraulic active heave compensator system i…
An Extension of the VSM Documents Representation using Word Embedding
2017
Abstract In this paper, we will present experiments that try to integrate the power of Word Embedding representation in real problems for documents classification. Word Embedding is a new tendency used in the natural language processing domain that tries to represent each word from the document in a vector format. This representation embeds the semantically context in that the word occurs more frequently. We include this new representation in a classical VSM document representation and evaluate it using a learning algorithm based on the Support Vector Machine. This new added information makes the classification to be more difficult because it increases the learning time and the memory neede…
SisHiTra : A Hybrid Machine Translation System from Spanish to Catalan
2004
In the current European scenario, characterized by the coexistence of communities writing and speaking a great variety of languages, machine translation has become a technology of capital importance. In areas of Spain and of other countries, coofficiality of several languages implies producing several versions of public information. Machine translation between all the languages of the Iberian Peninsula and from them into English will allow for a better integration of Iberian linguistic communities among them and inside Europe. The purpose of this paper is to show a machine translation system from Spanish to Catalan that deals with text input. In our approach, both deductive (linguistic) and…
On the FE codes capability for tool temperature calculation in machining processes
2006
Abstract The applications of numerical simulation to machining processes have been more and more growing in the last years: today a quite effective predictive capability has been reached, at least as far as global cutting variables (for instance cutting forces) are concerned. On the other hand, the capability to predict local cutting variables (i.e. pressure on the tool, temperature distribution, residual stresses in the machined surface) has to be heavily improved and verified. At the same time, effective experimental procedures for validating numerical results have to be developed. In this work two different approaches were implemented for temperature measuring: a thermocouple based appro…
Cutting Conditions and Work Material State Identification through Acoustic Emission Methods
1992
Summary This paper examines the problem of in-process monitoring of metal cutting operations carried out on aluminum alloys for aeronautical applications. Turning tests were conducted on annealed and heat treated aluminum alloy bars, using carbide tools. For both work material conditions, different combinations of cutting parameters were used. During cutting tests, acoustic emission (AE) and cutting force sensor data were detected and processed. The comparison between AE responses from the annealed and heat treated aluminum alloys allowed, with the help of force sensor data, to verify the applicability of AE and sensor fusion techniques for in-process and real time identification of work ma…
Physics based modelling of interface temperatures in machining with multilayer coated tools at moderate cutting speeds
2004
Abstract A new thermal model is presented for turning with tools with multilayer coatings. In the previous paper [Int. J. Mach. Tools Manuf. 43 (2003) 1311] devoted to the thermal problems in dry turning of steels with tools treated with multilayer coatings with an intermediate Al 2 O 3 layer new analytical models for estimating the heat partition to the chip and the average interface temperature were derived and the predictions were compared with experimental results. In this paper, a physics based modelling concept has been applied to both the individual layer and the composite layer approach to develop an estimate of the average and the maximum steady-state chip-tool interface temperatur…
Impact of Superfinish Turning on Surface Integrity of Pure Copper
2011
Abstract The presented study deals with comprehension of relationships between machining cutting conditions and physical-chemical properties linked with surface integrity. A multi-physics model is presented to calculate residual stress, temperature and dislocation fields in the machined material. This model includes both thermal-mechanical, structural evolution and dynamic recristallisation approaches. The model was applied to pure copper after superfinish turning. Good agreement was found between numerical values and experimental ones. This paper also presents a work on the impact of mechanical and microstructural changes induced by machining on the electrochemical behaviour and corrosion …
Connections Between Topology and Macroscopic Mechanical Properties of Three-Dimensional Open-Pore Materials
2018
This work addresses a number of fundamental questions regarding the topological description of materials characterized by a highly porous three-dimensional structure with bending as the major deformation mechanism. Highly efficient finite-element beam models were used for generating data on the mechanical behavior of structures with different topologies, ranging from highly coordinated bcc to Gibson–Ashby structures. Random cutting enabled a continuous modification of average coordination numbers ranging from the maximum connectivity to the percolation-cluster transition of the 3D network. The computed macroscopic mechanical properties–Young's modulus, yield strength, and Poisson's ratio–co…
