As for chip control, long and thin (stringy) cured chips, if not broken up, can severely interfere with the cutting operation by becoming entangled in the cutting zone.Because of the complex nature of cutting operations, it is difficult to establish relationships that quantitatively define the machinability of a material. In manufacturing plants, tool life and surface roughness are generally considered to be the most important factors in machinability. Although not used much any more, approximate machinability ratings are available in the example below.20.9.1 Machinability Of SteelsBecause steels are among the most important engineering materials (as noted in Chapter 5), their machinability has been studied extensively. The machinability of steels has been mainly improved by adding lead and sulfur to obtain so-calledfree-machining steels.Resulfurized and Rephosphorized steels. Sulfur in steels forms manganese sulfide inclusions (second-phase particles), which act as stress raisers in the primaryshear zone. As a result, the chips produced break up easily and are small; this improves machinability. The size, shape, distribution, and concentration of these inclusions significantly influence machinability. Elements such as tellurium and selenium, which are both chemically similar to sulfur, act as inclusion modifiers in resulfurized steels.Phosphorus in steels has two major effects. It strengthens the ferrite, causing increased hardness. Harder steels result in better chip formation and surface finish. Note that soft steels can be difficult to machine, with built-up edge formation and poor surface finish. The second effect is that increased hardness causes the formation of short chips instead of continuous stringy ones, thereby improving machinability.Leaded Steels. A high percentage of lead in steels solidifies at the tip of manganese sulfide inclusions. In non-resulfurized grades of steel, lead takes the form of dispersed fine particles. Lead is insoluble in iron, copper, and aluminum and their alloys. Because of its low shear strength, therefore, lead acts as a solid lubricant (Section 32.11) and is smeared over the tool-chip interface during cutting. This behavior has been verified by the presence of high concentrations of lead on thetool-side face of chips when machining leaded steels.When the temperature is sufficiently high-for instance, at high cutting speeds and feeds (Section 20.6)—the lead melts directly in front of the tool, acting as a liquid lubricant. In addition to this effect, lead lowers the shear stress in the primary shear zone, reducing cutting forces and power consumption. Lead can be used in every grade of steel, such as 10xx, 11xx, 12xx, 41xx, etc. Leaded steels are identified by the letter L between the second and third numerals (for example, 10L45). (Note that in stainless steels, similar use of the letter L means “low carbon,” a condition that improves their corrosion resistance.)However, because lead is a well-known toxin and a pollutant, there are serious environmental concerns about its use in steels (estimated at 4500 tons of lead consumption every year in the production of steels). Consequently, there is a continuing trend toward eliminating the use of lead in steels (lead-free steels). Bismuth and tin are now being investigated as possible substitutes for lead in steels.Calcium-Deoxidized Steels. An important development is calcium-deoxidized steels, in which oxide flakes of calcium silicates (CaSo) are formed. These flakes, in turn, reduce the strength of the secondary shear zone, decreasing tool-chip interfaceand wear. Temperature is correspondingly reduced. Consequently, these steels produce less crater wear, especially at high cutting speeds.Stainless Steels. Austenitic (300 series) steels are generally difficult to machine. Chatter can be s problem, necessitating machine tools with high stiffness. However, ferritic stainless steels (also 300 series) have good machinability. Martensitic (400 series) steels are abrasive, tend to form a built-up edge, and require tool materials with high hot hardness and crater-wear resistance. Precipitation-hardening stainless steels are strong and abrasive, requiring hard and abrasion-resistant tool materials.The Effects of Other Elements in Steels on Machinability. The presence of aluminum and silicon in steels is always harmful because these elements combine with oxygen to form aluminum oxide and silicates, which are hard and abrasive. These compounds increase tool wear and reduce machinability. It is essential to produce and use clean steels.Carbon and manganese have various effects on the machinability of steels, depending on their composition. Plain low-carbon steels (less than 0.15% C) can produce poor surface finish by forming a built-up edge. Cast steels are more abrasive, although their machinability is similar to that of wrought steels. Tool and die steels are very difficult to machine and usually require annealing prior to machining. Machinability of most steels is improved by cold working, which hardens the material and reduces the tendency for built-up edge formation.Other alloying elements, such as nickel, chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium, which improve the properties of steels, generally reduce machinability. The effect of boron is negligible. Gaseous elements such as hydrogen and nitrogen can have particularly detrimental effects on the properties of steel. Oxygen has been shown to have a strong effect on the aspect ratio of the manganese sulfide inclusions; the higher the oxygen content, the lower the aspect ratio and the higher the machinability.In selecting various elements to improve machinability, we should consider the possible detrimental effects of these elements on the properties and strength of the machined part in service. At elevated temperatures, for example, lead causes embrittlement of steels (liquid-metal embrittlement, hot shortness; see Section 1.4.3), although at room temperature it has no effect on mechanical properties.Sulfur can severely reduce the hot workability of steels, because of the formation of iron sulfide, unless sufficient manganese is present to prevent such formation. Atroom temperature, the mechanical properties of resulfurized steels depend on the orientation of the deformed manganese sulfide inclusions (anisotropy). Rephosphorized steels are significantly less ductile, and are produced solely to improve machinability.20.9.2 Machinability of Various Other MetalsAluminum is generally very easy to machine, although the softer grades tend to form a built-up edge, resulting in poor surface finish. High cutting speeds, high rake angles, and high relief angles are recommended. Wrought aluminum alloys with high silicon content and cast aluminum alloys may be abrasive; they require harder tool materials. Dimensional tolerance control may be a problem in machining aluminum, since it has a high thermal coefficient of expansion and a relatively low elastic modulus.Beryllium is similar to cast irons. Because it is more abrasive and toxic, though, it requires machining in a controlled environment.Cast gray irons are generally machinable but are. Free carbides in castings reduce their machinability and cause tool chipping or fracture, necessitating tools with high toughness. Nodular and malleable irons are machinable with hard tool materials.Cobalt-based alloys are abrasive and highly work-hardening. They require sharp, abrasion-resistant tool materials and low feeds and speeds.Wrought copper can be difficult to machine because of built-up edge formation, although cast copper alloys are easy to machine. Brasses are easy to machine, especially with the addition pf lead (leaded free-machining brass). Bronzes are more difficult to machine than brass.Magnesium is very easy to machine, with good surface finish and prolonged tool life. However care should be exercised because of its high rate of oxidation and the danger of fire (the element is pyrophoric).Molybdenum is ductile and work-hardening, so it can produce poor surface finish. Sharp tools are necessary.Nickel-based alloys are work-hardening, abrasive, and strong at high temperatures. Their machinability is similar to that of stainless steels.Tantalum is very work-hardening, ductile, and soft. It produces a poor surfacefinish; tool wear is high.Titanium and its alloys have poor thermal conductivity (indeed, the lowest of all metals), causing significant temperature rise and built-up edge; they can be difficult to machine.Tungsten is brittle, strong, and very abrasive, so its machinability is low,although it greatly improves at elevated temperatures.Zirconium has good machinability. It requires a coolant-type cutting fluid,however, because of the explosion and fire.20.9.3 Machinability of Various MaterialsGraphite is abrasive; it requires hard, abrasion-resistant, sharp tools.Thermoplastics generally have low thermal conductivity, low elastic modulus, and low softening temperature. Consequently, machining them requires tools with positive rake angles (to reduce cutting forces), large relief angles, small depths of cut and feed, relatively high speeds, andproper support of the workpiece. Tools should be sharp.External cooling of the cutting zone may be necessary to keep the chips from becoming “gummy” and sticking to the tools. Cooling can usually be achieved w ith a jet of air, vapor mist, or water-soluble oils. Residual stresses may develop during machining. To relieve these stresses, machined parts can be annealed for a period of time at temperatures ranging from C ︒80 to C ︒160 (F ︒175to F ︒315), and then cooled slowly and uniformly to room temperature.Thermosetting plastics are brittle and sensitive to thermal gradients duringcutting. Their machinability is generally similar to that of thermoplastics.Because of the fibers present, reinforced plastics are very abrasive and aredifficult to machine. Fiber tearing, pulling, and edge delamination are significant problems; they can lead to severe reduction in the load-carrying capacity of the component. Furthermore, machining of these materials requires careful removal of machining debris to avoid contact with and inhaling of the fibers.The machinability of ceramics has improved steadily with the development of nanoceramics (Section 8.2.5) and with the selection of appropriate processing parameters, such as ductile-regime cutting (Section 22.4.2).Metal-matrix and ceramic-matrix composites can be difficult to machine, depending on the properties of the individual components, i.e., reinforcing or whiskers, as well as the matrix material.20.9.4 Thermally Assisted MachiningMetals and alloys that are difficult to machine at room temperature can be machined more easily at elevated temperatures. In thermally assisted machining (hot machining), the source of heat—a torch, induction coil, high-energy beam (such as laser or electron beam), or plasma arc—is forces, (b) increased tool life, (c) use of inexpensive cutting-tool materials, (d) higher material-removal rates, and (e) reduced tendency for vibration and chatter.It may be difficult to heat and maintain a uniform temperature distribution within the workpiece. Also, the original microstructure of the workpiece may be adversely affected by elevated temperatures. Most applications of hot machining are in the turning of high-strength metals and alloys, although experiments are in progress to machine ceramics such as silicon nitride.SUMMARYMachinability is usually defined in terms of surface finish, tool life, force and power requirements, and chip control. Machinability of materials depends not only on their intrinsic properties and microstructure, but also on proper selection and controlof process variables.译文:20.9 可机加工性一种材料的可机加工性通常以四种因素的方式定义:1、分的表面光洁性和表面完整性。

外文资料FUZZY LOGIC CONTROL FOR ROBOT MAZE TRA VERSAL: ANUNDERGRADUATE CASE STUDYJames Wolfer Chad A. GeorgeAbstractAs previously reported, Indiana University South Bend has deployed autonomous robots in their Computer Organization course to facilitate introducing computer science students to the basics of logic, embedded systems, and assembly language. The robots help to provide effective, real-time feedback on program operation and to make assembly language less abstract. As a part of their coursework students are required to program a sensor-based traversal of a maze. This paper details one solution to this problem employing a fuzzy logic controller to create linguistic rules.Key words:Fuzzy logic, pedagogy, robots, student projectsINTRODUCTIONAssembly language programming in a computer science environment is often taught using abstract exercises to illustrate concepts and encourage student proficiency.To augment this approach we have elected to provide hands-on, real-world experience to our students by introducing robots into our assembly language class.Observing the physical action of robots can generate valuable feedback and have real-world consequences – robots hitting walls make students instantly aware of program errors, for example.It also provides insight into the realities of physical machines such as motor control, sensor calibration, and noise. To help provide a meaningful experience for our computer organization students, we reviewed the course with the following objectives in mind:• Expand the experience of our students in a manner that enhances the student's insight, provides a hands-on, visual, environment for them to learn, and forms an integrated component for future classes.•Remove some of the abstraction inherent in the assembly language class. Specifically, to help enhance the error detection environment.• Provide a kinesthetic aspect to our pedagogy.• Build student expertise early in their program that could lead to research projects and advanced classroom activities later in their program. Specifically, in this case, to build expertise to support later coursework in intelligent systems and robotics.As one component in meeting these objectives we, in cooperation with the Computer Science department, the Intelligent Systems Laboratory, and the University Center for Excellence in Teaching, designed a robotics laboratory to support the assembly language portion of the computer organization class as described in [1].The balance of this report describes one example project resulting from this environment. Specifically, we describe the results of a student project developing an assembly language fuzzy engine, membership function creation, fuzzy controller, and resulting robot behavior in a Linux-based environment.We also describe subsequent software devlopment in C# under Windows, including graphical membership tuning, real-time display of sensor activation, and fuzzy controller system response. Collectively these tools allow for robust controller development, assemblylanguage support, and an environment suitable for effective classroom and publicdisplay.BACKGROUNDRobots have long been recognized for their potential educational utility, with examples ranging from abstract, simulated, robots, such as Karel[2] and Turtle[3] for teaching programming and geometry respectively, to competitive events such as robotic soccer tournaments[4].As the cost of robotics hardware has decreased their migration into the classroom has accelerated [5, 6]. Driven by the combined goals for this class and the future research objectives, as well as software availability, we chose to use off-the-shelf, Khepera II, robots from K-Team[7].SIMULATED ROBOT DIAGRAMThe K-Team Kephera II is a small, two-motor robot which uses differential wheel speed for steering. Figure 1 shows a functional diagram of the robot. In addition to thetwo motors it includes a series of eight infrared sensors, six along the “front” and two in the “back”of the robot. This robot also comes with an embedded system-call library, a variety of development tools, and the availability of several simulators. The embedded code in the Khepera robots includes a relatively simple, but adequate, command level interface which communicates with the host via a standard serial port. This allows students to write their programs using the host instruction set (Intel Pentium in this case), send commands, and receive responses such as sensor values, motor speed and relative wheel position.We also chose to provide a Linux-based programming environment to our students by adapting and remastering the Knoppix Linux distribution [9]. Our custom distribution supplemented Knoppix with modified simulators for the Khepera, the interface library (including source code),manuals, and assembler documentation. Collectively, this provides a complete development platform.The SIM Kheperasimulator[8] includes source code in C, and provides a workable subset of the native robot command language. It also has the ability to redirect input and output to the physical robot from the graphics display. Figure 2 shows the simulated Khepera robot in a maze environment and Figure 3 shows an actual Khepera in a physical maze. To provide a seamless interface to the simulator and robots we modified the original simulator to more effectively communicate through a pair of Linuxpipes, and we developed a small custom subroutine library callable from the student's assembly language programs.Assignments for the class range from initial C assignments to call the robot routines to assembly language assignments culminating in the robot traversing the maze. FUZZY CONTROLLEROne approach to robot control, fuzzy logic, attempts to encapsulate important aspects of human decision making. By forming a representation tolerant of vague, imprecise, ambiguous, and perhaps missing information fuzzy logic enhances the ability to deal with real-world problems. Furthermore, by empirically modeling a system engineering experience and intuition can be incorporated into a final design.Typical fuzzy controller design [10] consists of:• Defining the control objectives and criteria• Determining the input and output relationships• Creating fuzzy membership functions, along withsubsequent rules, to encapsulate a solution fromintput to output.• Apply necessary input/output conditioning• Test, evaluate, and tune the resulting system.Figure 4 illustrates the conversion from sensor input to a fuzzy-linguistic value. Given three fuzzy possibilities, …too close‟, …too far‟, and …just right‟, along with a sensor reading we can ascertain the degree to which the sensor reading belongs to each of these fuzzy terms. Note that while Figure 4 illustrates a triangular membership set, trapezoids and other shapes are also common.Once the inputs are mapped to their corresponding fuzzy sets the fuzzy attributes are used, expert system style, to trigger rules governing the consequent actions, in this case, of the robot.For example, a series of rules for a robot may include:• If left-sensor is too close and right sensor is too far then turn right.• If left sensor is just right and forward sensor is too far then drive straight.• If left sensor is too far and forward sensor is too far then turn left.• If forward sensor is close then turn right sharply.The logical operators …and‟, …or‟, and …not‟ are calculated as follows: …and‟ represents set intersection and is calculated as the minimum value, …or‟ is calculated as the maximum value or the union of the sets, and …not‟ finds the inverse of the set, calculated as 1.0-fitness.Once inputs have been processed and rules applied, the resulting fuzzy actions must be mapped to real-world control outputs. Figure 5 illustrates this process. Here output is computed as the coordinate of the centroid of the aggregate area of the individual membership sets along the horizontal axis.ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE IMPLEMENTATIONTwo implementations of the fuzzy robot controller were produced. The first was written in assembly language for the Intel cpu architecture under the Linux operating system, the second in C# under Windows to provide a visually intuitive interface for membership set design and public demonstration.Figure 6 shows an excerpt of pseudo-assembly language program. The actual program consists of approximately eight hundred lines of hand-coded assembly language. In the assembly language program subroutine calls are structured with parameters pushed onto the stack. Note that the code for pushing parameters has been edited from this example to conserve space and to illustrate the overall role of the controller. In this code-fragment the …open_pipes‟ routine establishes contact with the simulator or robot. Once communication is established, a continous loop obtains sensor values, encodes them as fuzzy inputs, interprets them through the rule base to linguistic output members which are then converted to control outputs which are sent to the robot. The bulk of the remaining code implements the fuzzy engine itself.FUZZY CONTROLLER MAIN LOOPMembership sets were manually defined to allow the robot to detect and track walls, avoid barriers, and negotiate void spaces in it field of operation. Using this controller, both the simulated robot and the actual Khepera successfully traversed a variety of maze configurations.ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE OBSERV ATIONSWhile implementing the input fuzzification and output defuzzification in assembly language was tedious compared with the same task in a high level language, the logic engine proved to be well suited to description in assembly language.The logic rules were defined in a type of psuedo-code using …and‟, …or‟, …not‟ as operators and using the fuzzy input and output membership sets as parameters. With the addition of input, output and flow control operators, the assembly language logic engine simply had to evaluate these psuedo-code expressions in order to map fuzzy inputs memberships to fuzzy output memberships.Other than storing the current membership fitness values from the inputfuzzyfication, the only data structure needed for the logic engine is a stack to hold intermediate calculations. This is convenient under assembly language since the CPUs stack is immediately available as well as the nescesary stack operators.There were seven commands implemented by the logic rule interpreter: IN, OUT, AND, OR, NOT, DONE, and EXIT.•IN – reads the current fitness from an input membership set and places the value on the stack.•OUT – assigns the value on the top of the stack as the fitness value of an output membership set if it is greater than the existing fitness value for that set.•AND – performs the intersection operation by replacing the top two elements on the stack with the minimum element.•OR – performs the union operation by replace the top two elements on the stack with their maximum.•NOT – replaces the top value on the stack with its compliment.•DONE – pops the top value off the stack to prepare for the next rule•EXIT – signals the end of the logic rule definition and exits the interpreter.As an example the logic rule “If left-sensor is too close and right sensor is too far then turn right”, might be define d by the following fuzzy logic psuedo-code: IN, left_sensor[ TOO_CLOSE ]IN, right_sensor[ TOO_FAR ] ANDOUT, left_wheel[ FWD ]OUT, right_wheel[ STOP ]DONEEXITBy utilizing the existing CPU stack and implementing the logic engine as anpsuedo-code interpreter, the assembly language version is capable of handling arbitrarily complicated fuzzy rules composed of the simple logical operators provided. IMPLEMENTATIONWhile the assembly language programming was the original focus of the project, ultimately we felt that a more polished user interface was desirable for membership set design, fuzzy rule definition, and controller response monitoring. To provide these facilities the fuzzy controller was reimplemented in C# under Windows. through 10 illustrate the capabilities of the resulting software. Specifically, Figure 7 illustrates user interface for membership defination, in this case …near‟. Figure 8 illustrates theinterface for defining the actual fuzzy rules. Figure 9 profiles the output response with respect to a series of simulated inputs. Finally, real-time monitoring of the system is also implemented as illustrated in 10 which shows the robot sensor input values.Since the Khepera simulator was operating system specific, the C# program controls the robot directly. Again, the robot was successful at navigating the maze using a controller specified with this interface.SUMMARYTo summarize, we have developed a student-centric development environment for teaching assembly language programming. As one illustration of its potential we profiled a project implementing a fuzzy-logic engine and controller, along with a subsequent implementation in the C# programming language. Together these projects help to illustrate the viability of a robot-enhanced environment for assembly language programming.REFERENCES[1] Wolfer, J &Rababaah, H. R.

电气工程及其自动化外文翻译
A minimum electric power system is shown in Fig.1-1, the system consists of an energy source, a prime mover, a generator, and a load.The energy source may be coal, gas, or oil burned in a furnace to heat water and generate steam in a boiler; it may be fissionable material which, in a nuclear reactor, will heat water to produce steam; it may be water in a pond at an elevation above the generating station; or it may be oil or gas burned in an internal combustion engine.The prime mover may be a steam-driven turbine, a hydraulic turbine or water wheel, or an internal combustion engine. Each one of these prime movers has the ability to convert energy in the form of heat, falling water, or fuel into rotation of a shaft, which in turn will drive the generator.The electrical load on the generator may be lights, motors, heaters, or other devices, alone or in combination. Probably the load will vary from minute to minute as different demands occur.The control system functions (are) to keep the speed of the machines substantially constant and the voltage within prescribed limits, even though the load may change. To meet these load conditions, it is necessary for fuel input to change, for the prime mover input to vary, and for torque on the shaft from the prime mover to change in order that the generator may be kept at constant speed. In addition, the field current to the generator must be adjusted to maintain constant output voltage. The control system may include a man stationed in the power plant who watches a set of meters on the generator output terminals and makes the necessary adjustments manually. In a modern station, the control system is a servomechanism that senses generator-output conditions and automatically makes the necessary changes in energy input and field current to hold the electrical output within certain specifications.In most situations the load is not directly connected to the generator terminals. More commonly the load is some distance from the generator, requiring a power line connecting them. It is desirable to keep the electric power supply at the load within specifications. However, the controls are near the generator, which may be in another building, perhaps several miles away.If the distance from the generator to the load is considerable, it may be desirable to install transformers at the generator and at the load end, and to transmit the power over a high-voltage line (Fig.1-2). For the same power, the higher-voltage line carries less current, has lower losses for the same wire size, and provides more stable voltage.In some cases an overhead line may be unacceptable. Instead it may be advantageous to use an underground cable. With the power systems talked above, the power supply to the load must be interrupted if, for any reason, any component of the system must be moved from service for maintenance or repair. Additional system load may require more power than the generator can supply. Another generator with its associated transformers and high-voltage line might be added.It can be shown that there are some advantages in making ties between the generators (1) and at the end of the high-voltage lines (2 and 3), as shown in Fig.1-3. This system will operate satisfactorily as long as no trouble develops or no equipment needs to be taken out of service.The above system may be vastly improved by the introduction of circuit breakers, which may be opened and closed as needed. Circuit breakers added to the system, Fig.1-4, permit selected piece of equipment to switch out of service without disturbing the remainder of system. With this arrangement any element of the system may be deenergized for maintenance or repair by operation of circuit breakers.Of course, if any piece of equipment is taken out of service, then the total load mustbe carried by the remaining equipment. Attention must be given to avoid overloads during such circumstances. If possible, outages of equipment are scheduled at times when load requirements are below normal.Fig.1-5 shows a system in which three generators and three loads are tied together by three transmission lines. No circuit breakers are shown in this diagram, although many would be required in such a system.Part 3 Typical System LayoutThe generators, lines, and other equipment which form an electric system are arranged depending on the manner in which load grows in the area and may be rearranged from time to time.However, there are certain plans into which a particular system design may be classified. Three types are illustrated: the radial system, the loop system, and the network system. All of these are shown without the necessary circuit breakers. In eachof these systems, a single generator serves four loads.The radial system is shown in Fig.1-6. Here the lines form a “tree” spre t ing from the generator. Opening any line results in interruption of power to one or more of the loads.The loop system is illustrated in Fig.1-7. With this arrangement all loads may be served even though one line section is removed from service. In some instances during normal operation, the loop may be open at some point, such as A. In case a line section is to be taken out, the loop is first closed at A and then the line section removed. In this manner no service interruptions occur.Fig.1-8 shows the same loads being served by a network. With this arrangement each load has two or more circuits over which it is fed.Distribution circuits are commonly designed so that they may be classified as radial or loop circuits. The high-voltage transmission lines of most power systems are arranged as network. The interconnection of major power system results in networks made up by many line sections.Part 4 Auxiliary EquipmentCircuit breakers are necessary to deenergize equipment either for normal operation or on the occurrence of short circuits. Circuit breakers must be designed to carry normal-load currents continuously, to withstand the extremely high currents that occur during faults, and to separate contacts and clear a circuit in the presence of fault. Circuit breakers are rated in terms of these duties.When a circuit breaker opens to deenergize a piece of equipment, one side ofthe circuit breaker usually remains energized, as it is connected to operating equipment. Since it is sometimes necessary to work on the circuit breaker itself, it is also necessary to have means by which the circuit breaker may be completely disconnected from other energized equipment. For this purpose disconnect switches are placed in series with the circuit breakers. By opening these disconnectors, the circuit breaker may be completely deenergized, permitting work to be carried on in safety.Various instruments are necessary to monitor the operation of the electric power system. Usually each generator, each transformer bank, and each line has its own set of instruments, frequently consisting of voltmeters, ammeters, wattmeters, and varmeters.When a fault occurs on a system, conditions on the system undergo a sudden change. Voltages usually drop and currents increase. These changes are most noticeable in the immediate vicinity of fault. On-line analog computers, commonly called relays, monitor these changes of conditions, make a determination of which breaker should be opened to clear the fault, and energize the trip circuits of those appropriate breakers. With modern equipment, the relay action and breaker opening causes removal of fault within three or four cycles after its initiation.The instruments that show circuit conditions and the relays that protect the circuits are not mounted directly on the power lines but are placed on switchboards in a control house. Instrument transformers are installed on the high-voltage equipment, by means of which it is possible to pass on to the meters and relays representative samples of the conditions on the operating equipment. The primary of a potential transformer is connected directly to the high-voltage equipment. The secondary provides for the instruments and relays a voltage which is a constant fraction of voltage on the operating equipment and is in phase with it;similarly, a current transformer is connected with its primary in the high-current circuit. The secondary winding provides a current that is a known fraction of the power-equipment current and is in phase with it.Bushing potential devices and capacitor potential devices serve the same purpose as potential transformers but usually with less accuracy in regard to ratio and phase angle.中文翻译:电力系统的简介一个最小电力系统如图 1-1 所示,系统包含动力源,原动机,发机电和负载。

英语原文:Adhesion Control for the Alicia3 Climbing RobotD. Longo and G. MuscatoDipartimento di Ingegneria Elettrica Elettronica e dei Sistemi, Universit`a degliStudi di Catania, viale A. Doria 6, 95125 Catania ItalyAbstract.Climbing robots are useful devices that can be adopted in a variety of applications like maintenance, building, inspection and safety in the process and construction industries.The main target of the Alicia3 robot is to inspect non porous vertical wall with any regard for the material of the wall. To meet this target, a pneumatic-like adhesion for the system has been selected. Also the system can move over the surface with a suitable velocity by means of two DC motors and overcomesome obstacle thanks to a special cup sealing.This adhesion technology requires a suitable controller to improve system reliability. This is because small obstacles passing under the cup and wall irregularitycan vary the value of the internal pressure of the cup putting the robot in some anomalous working conditions. The methodologies used for deriving an accuratesystem model and controller will be explained and some result will be presented inthis work.1 IntroductionClimbing robots can be used to inspect vertical walls to search for potential damage or problems on external or internal surface of aboveground/underground etrochemical storage tanks, concrete walls and metallic structures[1–4]. By using this system as carrier, it will be possible to conduct anumber of NDI over the wall by carrying suitable instrumentation [5, 6].The main application of the proposed system is the automatic inspectionof the external surface of aboveground petrochemical storage tanks where it is very important to perform periodic inspections (rate of corrosion, risk of air or water pollution) at different rates, as standardized by the AmericanPetroleum Institute [7]. The system can be also adopted to inspect concrete dams.While these kinds of inspections are important to prevent ecological disasters and risks for the people working around the plant, these are very expensive because scaffolding is often required and can be very dangerousFig. 1. Typical operating environment and the Alicia3 robotfor technicians that have to perform these inspections. Moreover, for safety reasons, plant operations must be stopped and the tank must be emptied, cleaned and ventilated when human operators are conducting inspections. In Fig. 1(a) and 1(b) typical environments for climbing robots are shown. Figure 1c shows the Alicia3 robot prototype while attached to a concrete wall duringa system test.2 System DescriptionThe Alicia II system (the basic module for the Alicia3 system) is mainly composed by a cup, an aspirator, two actuated wheels that use two DC motors with encoders and gearboxes and four passive steel balls with clearance to guarantee plain contact of the cup to the wall. The cup can slide over a wall by means of a special sealing that allows maintaining a suitable vacuum inside the cup and at the same time creating the right amount of friction with respect system weight and a range of a target wall kind.The structure of the Alicia II module, shown in Fig. 2, currently comprises three concentric PVC rings held together by an aluminums disc. The bigger ring and the aluminums disc have a diameter of 30 cm. The sealing system is allocated in the first two external rings. Both the two rings and the sealing areFig. 2. Structure of the Alicia II moduledesigned to be easily replaceable, as they wear off while the robot is running. Moreover the sealing allows the robot passing over small obstacles (about 1 cm height) like screws or welding traces. The third ring (the smallest one) is usedas a base for a cylinder in which a centrifugal air aspirator and its electrical motor are mounted. The aspirator is used to depressurize the cup formed by the rings and the sealing, so the whole robot can adhere to the wall like a standard suction cup.The motor/aspirator set is very robust and is capable of working in harsh environments. The total weight of the module is 4 Kg.The Alicia3 robot is made with the three modules linked together by means of two rods and a special rotational joint. By using two pneumatic pistons it is possible to rise and to lower each module to overcome obstacles. Each module can be raised 15 cm with respect to the wall, so obstacles that are 10–12 cm height, can be easily overcame. The system is designed to be able to stay attached using only two cups while the third, any of the three, is raised up. The total weight of the system is about 20 Kg.3 Electro-Pneumatic System ModelBy using this kind of movement and sealing method, it is possible, due to unexpected small obstacles on the surface, to have some air leakage in the cup. This leakage can cause the internal negative pressure to rise up and in this situation the robot could fall down. On the other side if the internal pressure is too low (high Δp), a very big normal force is applied to the system. As a consequence, the friction can increase in such a way to not allow robot movements. This problem can be solved by introducing a control loop to regulate the pressure inside the chamber to a suitable value to sustain the system. The considered open loop system and the most easily accessible system variables has been schematized in Fig. 3; in this scheme the first block includes the electrical and the mechanical subsystem and the second block includes the pneumatic subsystem. The used variables are the Motor voltage reference (the input signal that fixes the motor power) and the Vacuum level (the negative pressure inside the chamber).Fig. 3. The open loop system consideredFig. 4. I/O variable acquisition schemeSince it is very difficult to have a reliable analytical model of that system, because of the big number of parameters involved, it has been decided to identify a black box dynamic model of the system by using input/output measurements. This model was designed with two purposes: to compute a suitable control strategy and to implement a simulator for tuning the control parameters.An experimental setup was realized, as represented in Fig. 4, by using the DS1102 DSP board from Dspace in order to generate and acquire the input/output variables. Since the aspirator is actuated by an AC motor, a power interface has been realized in order to translate in power the reference signal for the motor coming from a DAC channel of the DS1102 board. The output system variable has been measured with a piezoresistive pressure sensor with a suitable electronic conditioning block and acquired with one analog input of the DS1102. The software running on the DSpace DSP board, in this first phase simply generates an exciting motor voltage reference signal (pseudo random, ramp or step signals) and acquires the two analog inputs with a sampling time of 0.1 s, storing the data in its internal SRAM. Typical Input/Output measurements are represented in Fig. 5 and Fig. 6. In order to obtain better results in system modeling, the relationship between Input and Output needs to be considered as non-linear. A NARX model has been used is in the form of (1), where f is a non linear function [8, 9].y(k) = f(u(k), u(k −1), . . . ; y(k −1), y(k −2), . . .) (1) To implement this kind of non-linearity, some trials have been done using Neuro-Fuzzy and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) methodologies. Once that model has been trained to a suitable mean square error, it has been simulatedgiving it as input the real input measurement only (infinite step predictor) [8]. So (1) can be modified in order to obtain (2).˜y(k) = f(u(k), u(k −1), . . . ; ˜y(k −1), ˜y(k −2), . . .) (2)In (2), 4y is the estimated system output. In order to compare the simulation results, a number of descriptor has been defined and used. Among these are mean error, quadratic mean error and some correlation indexes. A first set of simulation for both methodologies has been done to find out the best I/O regression terms choice.3.1 Neuro-Fuzzy IdentificationUsing this kind of methodology, the best model structure was found to be in the form of (3).y(t) = f(u(t), y(t −1))(3) Once the best model structure has been found, some trials have been performed modifying the number of membership functions. The best results, comparing the indexes described above, have been obtained with 3 functions and in Fig. 7 the simulation results has been reported. The structure of the Neuro-Fuzzy model is the ANFIS-Sugeno [10].3.2 ANN IdentificationUsing this kind of methodology, the best model structure was found to be in the form of (4).y(t) = f(u(t), u(t −1), u(t −2), y(t −1), y(t −2)) (4)A single layer perceptron network has been used. The training algorithm is the standard Levenberg–Marquardt.Once the best model structure has been found, some trials have been performed modifying the number of hidden neurons. The best results, comparing the indexes described above, have been obtained with 7 hidden neurons and in Fig. 8 the simulation results has been reported.From a comparison between the two models and their related indexes, it can be seen that the Neuro-Fuzzy model has best approximation performance and use less input information. In the next section, this model will be used as system emulator to tune and test the required regulator.4 Pressure Control AlgorithmOnce a system model has been obtained, a closed loop configuration like that in Fig. 9, has been considered.The target of the control algorithm is to regulate the internal vacuum level to a suitable value (from some trials, it was fixed to about 10 kPa) to sustain the whole system and its payload; the maximum steady state error allowed was fixed to less than 200Pa. Moreover the time constant of the real system (about 10 s) has to be considered. A first simulation trial has been done with a fuzzy controller while during a second trial a PID controller has been tuned over the system emulator to meet the controller target. All these simulations have been performed by using Simulink from Mathworks.4.1 Fuzzy ControllerDuring this simulation, a fuzzy controller that uses as input only the system error has been used. This controller has three membership function (triangular and trapezoidal) and three output crisp membership functions.The reference was set to 10 kPa and the noise signal on the pressure level is a series of steps. In Fig. 10 a plot of the noise, reference and closed loop pressure signal is represented[11].4.2 PID ControllerA second simulation has been done tuning a PID controller over the Neuro- Fuzzy system emulator. As the system model is non-linear, trial and error technique has been used. The controller has been tested in the same condition of the fuzzy controller. From the Fig. 12 it is possible to see that now the closed loop system has little more overshooting (see Fig. 13 for detail) but the same steady state error. It has to be noted that overshooting is higher that the maximum error allowed but is faster with respect the system time constant.5 ConclusionIn this work the Alicia3 climbing robot was presented. Due to its special adhesion mechanism, a controller for the vacuum level inside the cup is required. First of all, a system emulator has been designed by using black box identification methodologies. Among all the performed trial, Artificial Neural Networks and Neuro-Fuzzy are the two best models found and the Neuro- Fuzzy one has been selected as system emulator. A set of indexes has been introduced in order to make a comparison and to select the best system model. Once a system emulator has been become available, some Simulink simulations have been performed in order to tune a controller. In that case a Fuzzy and a PID controller have been compared. Between the two, the Fuzzy controllerworks better than the PID but this is much simpler in its implementation and its performances are not so worst; in any case, it is compatibles with system dynamics.中文原文Alicia3爬壁机器人的粘着控制摘要.爬壁机器人用途广泛,可以在许多不同的环境中应用,如维修、建设、检查安全的过程和建筑业。

英文资料及翻译Location Control Unit In Hydroelectric PowerPlant Automation Application1. ForewordThe hydraulic electricity generation compares with burns coal, the fuel oil, the nuclear power electricity generation, the energy is renewable, the never exhaustible clean energy. The country gives priority to development the hydraulic electricity generation achievement to do well at present the energy balance the strategic measure, and appeared a row measure to encourage to advance the hydroelectric power plant construction vigorously. In the water and electricity profession, was on duty " along with hydroelectric power plant " nobody (few person value to defend) and the condition overhaul work thoroughly develops unceasingly, adds water the power plant production to move and to manage set a higher request; “Separated take the factory net, competes the price to access the net” also adds water as the foundation electric power system reform the power plant automation technology to set the new request. Computer technology, information technology, networking, industry control technology rapid development, for hydroelectric power plant synthesis automated system regardless of in the structure in the function, has all provided a broad development space.The 70's intermediate stages, the overseas hydroelectric power plant starts the advanced computer technology to apply in the hydro-electric power station industrial control, raised the hydroelectric power plant automated level greatly, has obtained the good economic efficiency. At the end of the 70's, the original electric power department science and technology committee managed held “the national hydroelectric power plant automation technical background meeting”, formulated the hydroelectric power plant automation science and technology to develop 7 years plan, our country starts to introduce and the domestic independent research and development hydroelectric power plant computer supervisory system technology and to obtain the huge success. Through many year endeavors, the domestic independent development hydroelectric power plant automation technology development experienced had tried to find out, the experiment site, the promotion, enhanced these four stages, has obtained the very big result. In the recent 20 years, the domestic hydroelectric power plant automation level development are specially rapid, at present entered the world advanced ranks.The hydroelectric power plant computer supervisory system usually may divide into two major parts, one is carries on the common control to the entire factory equipment the part, calls it the factory level or the factory station level supervisory system; Another part is located the water wheel electricity generation level, the switching house and so on the equipment nearby control sections, is called the location control system. The location control system main constituent is location control unit LCU (Local Control Unit), the early on once has used with electrical network dispatch remote terminal RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) the similar name, considered LCU the meaning is more accurate, since 1991 “location control unit academic conference”, basically unifies calls it LCU. Now makes several discussions on LCU in Our country Hydroelectric powerplant automated system application and the development.2. LCU applicationIn the hydroelectric power plant computer supervisory system LCU with the power plant production process connection, is directly in the system most has the object-oriented distribution characteristic the control device. The location control unit controlled member mainly includes following several parts:(1) power plant generating set, mainly has the hydraulic turbine, the generator, the auxiliary engine, the transformer and so on;(2) switching house, mainly has the generatrix, the circuit breaker, the isolator, the earth knife switch and so on;(3) public utility, mainly has the factory to use electricity the system, the oil system, the aqueous system, the direct current system and so on;(4) strobe, mainly has the water inlet strobe, the flood discharge strobe and so on.The LCU general arrangement nearby the power plant production equipment, to is accused the object movement operating mode to carry on the real-time surveillance and the control, is the power plant computer supervisory system compares the first floor control section. The primary data carries on gathering and the pretreatment in this, each kind of control adjustment order all sends out and completes the control closed loop through it, it is in the entire supervisory system very important, to the reliable request very high control device. Uses in the hydroelectric power plant LCU may divide into unit LCU, public LCU, switching house LCU according to the monitoring object and the installment position and so on. But and disposes according to the LCU itself structure divides, then may divide into the single trigger --linear structure LCU, take programmable controller (PLC) as foundation LCU, the intelligent location controller and so on three kinds. First kind of LCU many for hydroelectric power plant automation initial period product, at present basic no longer has used in the new system. Moreover still had few small hydroelectric power plants to use based on industry PC machine (called labor controlled machine IPC) the control system, below only discussed is in the mainstream status PLC and the intelligent location controller (the recent several years still had is called PCC (Programmable Computer Controller), PAC (Programmable Automation Controller) product, should also be possible to classify).2.1 programmable controller (PLC)The PLC definition has many kinds. International electrician committee (IEC) to PLC the definition is: The programmable controller is one kind of digital operation electronic system, for designs specially in the industry environment application. It uses the programmable the memory, uses in its internally stored program, carries out the logic operation, the sequential control, fixed time, counts with the arithmetic operation and so on face user's instruction, and through digital, the simulation input and the output, controls each kind of type the machinery or the production process. The programmable controller and the related equipment, all should according to easy form a whole with the industry control system, easy to expand its function the principle design.At first, needed to produce as a result of the American automobile industry has been possible to say was primitive PLC. Although the PLC being published time does not calculate long too, but along with the microprocessor appearance, large-scale, the ultra large scale integrated circuit technique of manufacture and the data communication technology rapid development, the PLC application and the technology also obtained the rapid development, its developing processapproximately separable three stages:(1) early time PLC (at the end of 60's -70's intermediate stages): Early PLC is called the programmable logical controller generally.(2) intermediate stage PLC (in 70's intermediate stage - 80's, later period): Starts in the 70's to use the microprocessor to take PLC the central processing element (CPU). Thus, causes PLC to result in the function big enhancement. In the software aspect, in the original logic operation, fixed time, counted and so on in the function foundations to increase functions and so on arithmetic operation, data processing and data communication, from diagnosis. In the hardware aspect, has developed the simulation quantity module, the long-distance I/O module as well as each kind of special function module, enables PLC the application scope to expand rapidly to needs the automatic control very many professions.(3) near future PLC (in the 80's, later period until now) enters in for the 80's, the later period, because the microprocessor hardware technique of manufacture rapid development, simultaneously the market price large scale drop, will cause each PLC manufacturer to be possible to use a higher scale the microprocessor. In order to further enhance PLC the processing speed, the very many manufacture manufacturer also developed has developed the special-purpose logical processing chip. Afterwards PLC has also integrated Ethernet, technologies and so on Web Server, has provided the function rich necessary software, causes the user community to use handily.On the century 80's to the 90's intermediate stages, are PLC develops the quickest time, the yearly rate continuously maintenance is 30%~40%. In this time, the PLC data acquisition handling ability, the numeral operational capability, the man-machine connection and network traffic capacity all obtains the large scale enhancement, PLC enters the process control domain gradually, unified after the partial industry control device substitutes gradually in certain applications has been at the dominant position in the process control domain the DCS system. Because PLC has the versatility strongly, the reliability high, the easy to operate, the programming simple, the adaptation surface broad and so on the characteristics, caused it is specially in the sequential control obtained the extremely widespread application in the industrial automation control.Applies PLC in the hydroelectric power plant production equipment monitoring begins in on the century 80's, because PLC defers to the industry use environment the standard to carry on the design generally, the reliability high, antijamming ability strong, the programming simple practical, met inserts the performance good very quickly accepts by the power plant user and system integration business, obtained the good application. At present includes in Our country Hydroelectric power plant use widespread PLC: GE Fanuc Corporation's GE Fanuc 90 series, German Siemens Corporation's S5, S7 series, French Schneider Corporation's Modicon Premium, Atrium and Quantum, American Rockwell Corporation PLC5, Control Logix, Japanese OMRON Corporation's SU-5, SU-6, SU-8, Japanese MITSUBISHI Corporation's FX2 series and so on. Because each kind of PLC principle of design difference is big, the product function, the performance as well as may constitute the location system scale to have the very big difference. Generally speaking, according to the different power plant in the security performance (including reliability, maintainable and so on), aspect and so on application function, control scale, system structure actual demands carries on the choice, may find appropriate PLC. At present there is big part of power plants the automated system all uses the PLC constitution location control section, and matches through the reasonable disposition, they basically all can shoulder the corresponding responsibility in the system, completes the corresponding function.But PLC took but one kind of general automated installment, is by no means designs specially for the hydroelectric power plant automation, this has in the special request profession application in the water and electricity automation also to be able to have some not suitable place inevitably, presently lists following several points:(1) PLC by “scanning”the way work, cannot satisfy the event resolution and the system clock synchronization request. The hydroelectric power plant computer supervisory system all is a multi-computer system, in order to guarantee the event resolution should have certain event besides PLC itself to respond ability and the high accuracy clock, but also requests in the overall system between various part of main equipment clock synthesis precision also to have to guarantee in a millisecond level. But take PLC as the foundation location control device if does not take the special measure, is unable to guarantee the hydroelectric power plant safe operation to the event resolution and the system clock synchronization request.(2) general PLC origin mainly aims at the machine-finishing profession, later gradually will expand all the various trades and occupations. Although present PLC has strongly from diagnosis function, but regarding the input, the output unit, it only from diagnoses the module level. This produces this kind of emphasis regarding our country electric power “the safety first” the profession said that, has certain being short of, often needs to add seperately the special security measure.(3) general PLC all has certain surge suppression ability generally, basically may suit the majority of profession application. But says regarding the hydroelectric power plant automated system, as a result of the equipment working conditions particularity, three level of surge suppression ability which the general PLC surge suppression ability and the technology standard request also has some disparities.2.2 intelligent location controllerApplies the many another kind of location control unit in Hydroelectric power plant automated system to be supposed to be the intelligent location controller, like ABB Corporation AC450, south auspicious group's SJ-600 series, Elin Corporation's SAT1703 and so on.AC450 is being suitable which ABB Corporation produces in industry environment Advant Controller series location control unit one kind, mainly applies in other profession DCS. It has included the module which by Motorola 68040 primarily processor CPU modules and I/O, MasterBus and so on many kinds of may elect, supports centralized I/O and distributional I/O, may act according to the different application demand to use the different module to constitute the suitable location subsystem.SAT1703 is the multi-processor system which Austrian Elin Corporation produces, it is loaded with different connection processor subsystem AK1703, AME1703 and AM1703 including 3. Each sub-system by the host processor, the connection template (module), constitutions and so on connection module, can realize the data processing, the control and the correspondence function, uses SMI in the LCU interior (Serial Module Interconnector) to carry on the correspondence. SAT1703 location control unit uses OS/2 operating system, the movement control software is ToolBox.SJ-600 series is on the international telegram automation research institute the century at the end of 90's for the domestically produced intelligence distributional location control unit which moves under the bad industry environment produces, by the master control module, the intelligent I/O module, the power source module as well as connects various modules and the master controlmodule scene bus network is composed. Moved reliably in the national dozens of large and middle scale hydroelectric power plants. Below SJ-600 has the main characteristic:(1), the master control module uses conforms to IEEE1996.1's embedded module standard PC104, has the reliability high, the scene environment compatibility strong and so on the characteristics. Uses low power loss embedded CPU, may choose the CPU model from 486 to the Pentium series.(2) 32 intelligence I/O module. All modules use 32 embedded CPU, this CPU designs specially for the embedded control, on the software uses the board level real-time operating system and the unification procedure code, only is different moves the corresponding duty according to the module. Has used large-scale programmable logic chip (EPLD) and the Flash memory, simplified the system design, enhanced the reliability. The intellectualized I/O module except may complete the data acquisition and the pretreatment independently, but also has very strongly from the diagnosis function, has provided the reliable control security and the convenience breakdown localization ability.(3) has the field bus network system structure, the system uses two network architectures, first is the factory cascade control network, connects LCU and the factory level computer, constitutes the distributed computer supervisory system; Second is I/O main line network, the connection master control module and the intelligent I/O module (location or long-distance), constitutes the distributional location control subsystem. All I/O module provides two field bus network connection, these modules all may disperse the arrangement, forms the redundant reliable distributional redundant system.(4) LCU direct connection high speed network. The network has become in the computer supervisory system the important part, it involves to the power plant control strategy and the movement way. Beforehand location controller many is the use private network carries on the connection with on position machine system, but conforms to the open standard network. If AC450 uses MB300 network with on position machine system connection, but with uses TCP/IP agreement the system connection only to be able to carry on through the special-purpose module by the VIP way the data transmission which limits.(5) has provided the direct GPS synchronized clock connection, does not need to program and the establishment. GPS to when may go directly to the module level, satisfied had the special request situation to the clock, like SOE and so on.(6) provides based on IEC61131-3 standard control language, in retained trapezoidal programming language in and so on the chart, structure text, instruction list foundations, developed the use “to see namely obtained”the technical design visualization flow chart programming language. The support control flow online debugging and playbacking, suits the complex control flow extremely the production and the maintenance.(7) in view of hydroelectric power plant automation specialized application development special-purpose function module.现地控制单元在水电厂自动化中的应用1. 前言水力发电与燃煤、燃油、核能发电相比,能源是可再生的、永不枯竭的清洁能源。

外文翻译原文:NC switching power supply designForwardEvery new electronic product, except those that are battery powered, requires converting off–line 115 Vac or 230 Vac power to some dc voltage for powering the electronics. The availability of design and application information and highly integrated semiconductor control ICs for switching power supplies allows the designer to complete this portion of the system design quickly and easily. Whether you are an experienced power supply designer, designing your first switching power supply or responsible for a make or buy decision for power supplies, the variety of informational the SWITCHMODE Power Supplies Reference Manual and Design Guide should prove useful.ON Semiconductor has been a key supplier of semiconductor products for switching power supplies since we introduced bipolar power transistors and rectifiers designed specifically for switching power supplies in the mid–70. We identified these as SWITCHMODE products.A switching power supply designed using ON Semiconductor components can rightfully be called a SWITCHMODE power supply or SMPS.This brochure contains useful background information on switching power supplies for those who want to have more meaningful discussions and are not necessarily experts on power supplies. It also provides real SMPS examples, and identifies several application notes and additional design resources available from ON Semiconductor, as well as helpful books available from various publishers and useful web sites for those who are experts and want to increase their expertise.Introduction:Efficient conversion of electrical power is becoming a primary concern to companies and to society as a whole. Switching power supplies offer not only higher efficiencies but also offer greater flexibility to the designer. Recent advances in semiconductor, magnetic and passivetechnologies make the switching power supply an ever more popular choice in the power conversion arena today.This Guide is designed to give the prospective designer an overview of all the issues involved in designing switch mode power supplies. It describes the basic operation of the more popular topologies of switching power supplies, their relevant parameters, provides circuit design tips, and information on how to select the most appropriate semiconductor and passive components. This Guide lists the ON Semiconductor components expressly built for use in switching power supplies.Basic ConvertersThe most elementary forward-mode converter is the Buck or Step-down Converter. Its operation can be seen as having two distinct time periods which occur when the series power switch is on and off. When the power switch is on, the input voltage is connected to the input of the inductor. The output of the inductor is the output voltage, and the rectifier is back-biased. During this period, since there is a constant voltage source connected across the inductor, the inductor current begins to linearly ramp upwardDuring the “on” period, energy is being stored within the core material of the inductor in the form of flux. There is sufficient energy stored to carry the requirements of the load during the next off period.The next period is the “off” period of the power switch. When the power switch turns off, the input voltage of the inductor flies below ground and is clamped at one diode drop below ground by the catch diode. Current now begins to flow through the catch diode thus maintaining the load current loop. This removes the stored energy from the inductor.This period ends when the power switch is once again turnedon. Regulation is accomplished by varying the on-to-off duty cycle of the power switch.The buck converter is capable of kilowatts of output power, but suffers from one serious shortcoming which would occur if the power switch were to fail short-circuited, the input power source is connected directly to the load circuitry with usually produces catastrophic results. To avoid this situation, a crowbar is placed across the output. A crowbar is alatching SCR which is fired when the output is sensed as entering an overvoltage condition. The buck converter should only be used for board-level regulation.The most elementary fly back-mode converter is the Boost or Step-up Converter. Its schematic can be seen in Figure 2. Its operation can also be broken into two distinct periods where the power switch is on and off. When the power switch turns on, the input voltage source is placed directly across the inductor. This causes the current to begin linearly ramping upwards from zero。

外文资料翻译Power System AutomationPower system integration is the act of communication data to, or among IED s in the I&C system and remote users. Substation integration refers to combining data from the IED′s local to a substation so that there is a s ingle point of contact in the substation for all of the I&C data. Poletop devices often communicate to the substation via wireless or fiber connections. Remote and local substation and feeder control is passed through the substation controller acting as a single point of contact. Some systems bypass the substation controller by using direct connections to the poletop devices, such as RTU s, protective relays, and controllers.Power system automation is the act of automatically controlling the power system via I&C devices. Substation automation refers to using IED data, control and automation capabilities within the substation, and control commands from remote users to control power system devices. Since true substation automation relies on substation integration, the terms are often used interchangeably.Power system automation includes processes associated with generation and delivery of power. A subset of the process deal with delivery of power at transmission and distribution levels, which is power delivery automation. Together, monitoring and control of power delivery system in the substation and on the poletop reduce the occurrence of outages and shorten the duration of outages that do occur. The IED′s, communications protocols, and communications methods described in previous sections, work together as a system to perform power system automation.Though each utility is unique, most consider power delivery automation of transmission and distribution substation and feeders to include :Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition(SCADA)-operatorsupervision and control;Distribution Automation-fault location, auto-isolation, auto-sectionalizing, and auto-restoration;Substation Automation-breaker failure, reclosing, battery monitoring, dead substation transfer, and substation load transfer;Energy Management System (EMS)-load flow, VAR and voltage monitoring and control, generation control, transformer and feeder load balancing;Fault analysis and device maintenance.System without automated control still have the advantages of remote monitoring and operator control of power system devices, which includes: Remote monitoring and control of circuit breakers and automated switches;Remote monitoring of non-automated switches and fuses;Remote monitoring and control of capacitor banks;Remote monitoring and voltage control;Remote power quality monitoring and control.IED s described in the overview are used to perform power system integration and automation. Most designs require that the one IED act as the substation controller and perform data acquisition and control of the other IED s. The substation controllers is often called upon to support system automation tasks as well. The communications industry uses the term client/server for a device that acts as a master, or client, retrieving data from some devices and then acts as a slaver, a server, sending this data to other devices. The client/server collecting and concentrating dynamically. A data concentrator creates a substation databases by collecting and concentrating dynamic data from several devices. In this fashion, essential subsets of data from each IED are forwarded to a master through one data transfer. The concentrator databases is used to pass data between IED s that are not directly connected.A substation archive client/server collects and archives data from several devices. The archive data is retrieved when it is convenient for the userto do so.The age of the IED s now in substations varies widely. Many of these IED s are still useful but lack the most recent protocols. A communications processor that can communicate with each IED via a unique baud rate and protocol extends the time that each IED is useful. Using a communications processor for substation integration also easily accommodates future IED s. It is rare for all existing IED s to be discarded during a substation integration upgrade project.The benefits of monitoring, remote control, and automation of power delivery include improved employee and public safety, and deferment of the cost of purchasing new equipment. Also, reduced operation and maintenance costs are realized through improved use of existing facilities and optimized performance of the power system through reduced losses associated with outages and improved voltage profile. Collection of information can result in better planning and system design, and increased customer satisfaction will result from improved responsiveness, service reliability, and power quality.Power system automation includes a variety of equipment. The principal items are listed and briefly described below.Instrument transformers are used to sense power system current and voltage. They are physically connected to power system apparatus and convert the actual power system signals, which includes high voltage and current magnitudes, down to lower signal levels.Transducers convert the analog output of an instrument transformer from one magnitude to another or from one value type to another, such as from an ac current to dc voltage.As the name implies, a remote terminal device, RTU, is an IED that can be installed in a remote location, and acts as a termination point for filed contacts. A dedicated pair of copper conductors are used to sense every contract and transducer value. These conductors originated at the power system device, are installed in trenches or overhead cable trays, and are then terminated on panels within the RTU. The RTU can transfer collected data to other devices andreceive data and control commands from other device through a serial port. User programmable RTUs are referred to as “smart RTUs.”A communication switch is a device that switches between several serial ports when it is told to do so. The remote user initiates communications with the port switch via a connection to the substation , typically a leased line or dial-up telephone connection. Once connected, the user can route their communication through the port switch to one of the connected substation IEDs. The port switch merely “passes through” the IED communication.A meter is an IED that is used to create accurate measurement of power system current, voltage, and power values. Metering values such as demand and peak are saved within the meter to create historical information about the activity of the power system.A digital fault recorder ,is an IED that records information about power system disturbances. It is capable of storing data in digital format when triggered by conditions detected on the power system. Harmonics, frequency, and voltage are examples of data captured by DFRs.Load tap changer are devices used to change the tap position on transformers. These devices work automatically or can be controlled via another local IED or form a remote operator or process.Recloser controllers remotely control the operation of automated reclosers and switches. These devices monitor and store power system conditions and determine when to perform control actions. They also accept commands form a remote operator or process.电力系统自动化电力系统集成是在I&C系统中的IED和远程用户之间进行数据通信的操作。
