In the presented paper, a sensorless driver circuit is designed, constructed and tested to control two types of three-phase Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM). The presented control algorithm has three steps. In the first step, the SRM is controlled by an open-loop method. In the second step, mathematical model of the SRM phase, motor parameters and flux-current-rotor position relation are used in...

This paper introduces a peculiar approach of designing Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) memory cell in Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) technique. The proposed design consists of one 3-input MG, one 5-input MG in addition to a (2×1) Multiplexer block utilizing the loop-based approach. The simulation results reveals the excellence of the proposed design. The proposed SRAM cell achieves 16% ...

The new copper processing plant of the Sarcheshmeh copper complex consists of two parallel circuits. After a primary crushing, the ore is sent to a SAG mill, and the product is further ground in a ball mill. The overflow of the hydrocyclones is fed to a flotation circuit that contains 8 rougher tank cells (RCS130), 3 cleaner cells (RCS50), 5 scavenger cells (RCS50), and a flotation column (as r...

In this article different types of artificial neural networks (ANN) were used for CNTFET (carbon nanotube transistors) simulation. CNTFET is one of the most likely alternatives to silicon transistors due to its excellent electronic properties. In determining the accurate output drain current of CNTFET, time lapsed and accuracy of different simulation methods were compared. The training data for...

In this paper, the effect of number and fault current limiter(FCL) location has been investigated in order to have maximum reduction of short circuit current level in all buses in a real network. To do so, the faulty buses were identified in terms of short circuit current level by computing short circuits on the desired network. Then, while the fault current limit was modeled, its optimal locat...

The purpose of this paper is to present an efficient converter circuit used to drive switched reluctance motors. It uses the C-dump topology in which the trapped energy in the phase windings is returned to the supply capacitor to be used in the following strokes. In addition to the C-dump topology, it uses two extra feedbacks. One comes from a governor mounted on the shaft of motor which contro...

An equivalent circuit model for predicting the frequency response of a square ring slot frequency selective surface (SRS-FSS) for normal incidence is described. The proposed FSS consists of an array of square patches centered within a wire grid. The presented circuit model is formed by the impedance of the wire grid that is parallel with the impedance of the patch array, also the mutual couplin...

Induction motor is the most popular load in the industry, it is very important to study about the effects of voltage quality on induction motor performance. One of the most important voltage quality problems in power system is voltage unbalance. This paper evaluates and compares two methods including finite element method (FEM) and equivalent electrical circuit simulation for investigation ...

LetM be a connectedmatroid having a ground set E. Lemos andOxley proved that |E(M)| ≤ 2 c(M)c (M)where c(M) (resp. c(M)) is the circumference (resp. cocircumference) of M. In addition, they conjectured that one can find a collection of at most c(M) circuits which cover the elements ofM at least twice. In this paper, we verify this conjecture for regular matroids. Moreover, we show that a versio...
