recently, transverse flux permanent magnet generators (tfpmgs) have been proposed as a possible generator in direct drive variable speed wind turbines due to their unique merits. generally, the quality of output power in these systems is lower than multi stage fixed speed systems, because of removing the gears, so it’s important to design these kinds of generators with low ripple and lowest har...

Measurements of atmospheric corona currents have been made for over 100 years to indicate the atmospheric electric field. Corona currents vary substantially, in polarity and in magnitude. The instrument described here uses a sharp point sensor connected to a temperature compensated bi-polar logarithmic current amplifier. Calibrations over a range of currents from ±10 fA to ±3 μA and across ±20 ...

In renewable power generation doubly fed induction generators (DFIG) are used, in which the stator of the generator is directly connected to mains, while the converter for the rotor is rated only for slip power. Due to the interaction of rotor and stator windings in a DFIG, the high-frequency harmonics caused by the pulsed output of rotor power converters are transmitted into the stator current...

This paper will describe an active pixel CMOS-compatible imager aimed at high resolution still cameras. We will discuss pixel operation, column sense circuits, serial output, and show results from existing imagers. In this abstract, we show results from a prototype 640x480 imager with 5.9x5.9 μm2 pixels built in 0.8 μm double-poly CMOS with one additional base implant. Active Capacitor-coupled ...
