A Strontium Manganese Vanadate Framework

VTIP:10-091

There currently exists no summary for this technology.

Optical Sensor for On-line, Real-time Analysis of Chemical Gases Dissolved in Transformer Oil

VTIP:10-059

Because the invented sensors are immune to electromagnetic interference and can also resist the huge electric stress inside high voltage transformers, they can be installed much closer to the fault sources than current other systems do, which makes the analysis more accurate and prompt. Since the new sensors are ...

Magnetic Levitation Based Energy Harvester for Low Frequency Vibrations

VTIP:10-054

Our proposed harvester design addresses several fundamental questions related to low-frequency mechanical-to-electrical conversion process such as: ?How to convert semi-periodic vibrations in to useful electricity with near ideal efficiencies??, ?How to tune the harvester to obtain wide bandwidth such that the same device operates in multiple frequency bands??, and ...

State Variable Feedback in Single-Phase, Phase-Locked Loops

VTIP:10-030

Phase-Locked Loop implementations for single-phase systems that eliminates the need for large low pass filters to dampen 2nd and higher harmonic noise injections into the estimated measurements. Variable feedback can also be implemented to create non-linear, adaptive like controllers for PLL system to increase synchronization times.

Implementations in the ...

The Use of PLL Stability for Islanding Detection

VTIP:10-031

Quasi-active islanding detection metehod that does not inject distortions into grid via the output of the converter, but rather relies on the stability of the PLL which, with the proposed implementation, inherently senses a grid disconnect and starts to oscillate.
