Power Quality Improvements in Diesel Generator Set Based Supply Systems

Diesel Generator (DG) set based standalone supply systems are source of electricity in many parts of world. DG sets are backbone of supply in trains, hospitals, institutes, telecommunication towers etc. Because of huge demand of electricity for air-conditioning, lighting, toiletries, pantry demands in trains, the railways has been one of the big consumer of DG set based supply systems. Moreover...

Micro Electret Power Generator

We present the first micromachined rotational electret power generator, linearized theoretical model of electret power generation, and novel method to produce uniformly charged electret. We also improved our previously developed [ I , 21 thin film Teflon AF 1601-S electret technology with respect to dielectric thickness, charge uniformity, and processability. In demonstration, our prototype pow...

An Integrated Flywheel Energy Storage System With Homopolar Inductor Motor/Generator and High-Frequency Drive

The design, construction, and test of an integrated flywheel energy storage system with a homopolar inductor motor/generator and high-frequency drive is presented in this paper. The work is presented as an integrated design of flywheel system, motor, drive, and controller. The motor design features low rotor losses, a slotless stator, construction from robust and low cost materials, and a rotor...

Homopolar Pulse Welding of Rail

The homopolar pulse welding process uses a single unidirectional, high current electrical pulse from a homopolar generator to heat the interface between two workpieces in solid contact. When the interface reaches an optimum temperature, forging pressure is applied, and the workpieces coalesce without melting and without use of either a flux or a filler. The weld is completed in from 1 to 2 s. B...
