    This paper discusses the modelling of the doubly fed twin stator induction machine in the general reference frame using space vectors based on the cascade connection of two wound rotor induction machines that have, in ...
  • Submerged Microfiltration: An Energy Efficient Process for Water Reuse 
    Guo Wenshan; Vigneswaran Saravanamuth; Chaudhary Durgananda; Ngo Huu Hao; Vigneswaran Bala (AWA Bookshop, 2003)
    Membrane separation process is being emerged as an innovative wastewater treatment technology. However, its use at present is limited due to its high cost of installation and its long-term operational difficulty. Membrane ...
  • Performance of a Head-Movement Interface for Wheelchair Control 
    Taylor Philip; Nguyen Hung (The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers Inc (IEEE), 2003)
    Head movement has been used as a control interface for people with motor impairments in a range of applications. Chin operated joysticks and switch arrays have been incorporated in control systems for electric ...
  • Possible Uses of Online Condition Monitoring for Real Time Rating of Substation Equipment 
    Jones Steven; Kingsmill Andrew; Zhu Jianguo (University of Canterbury, New Zealand, 2003)
    With the demand for electricity increasing worldwide, electricity utilities are finding themselves in situations where existing equipment may be more fully utilised in order to meet demand, as an alternative to or in ...
  • Time-Optimal Coordinated Control of the Relative Formation of Multiple Vehicles 
    Furukawa Tomonari; Durrant-Whyte Hugh; Bourgault Frederic; Dissanayake Gamini (The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers Inc (IEEE), 2003)
    This paper presents a solution to the time-optimal control of the relative formation of multiple vehicles. This is a problem in cooperative time-optimal control with a free terminal state constraint. In this paper, a ...
  • Frequency Tracking and Acquisition with a Four Quadrant Arctan Phase Detector Based on a Phase Locked Loop 
    Sithamparanathan Kandeepan; Reisenfeld Sam (The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers Inc (IEEE), 2003)
    This paper discusses the performance of tracking and acquiring a single frequency sinusoid with a four-quadrant phase detector (PD) based digital phase locked loop (DPLL). Under tracking we analyse the open loop ...
