The paper deals with a mathematical model of the closed loop power supply system for a remotely operated underwater vehicle with a DC transmission line via a rope-cable and the load voltage feedback. The state-space method is used to develop the mathematical model. Using differential equations in the form of Cauchy alleviates significantly the mathematical description. The results for both simulation and mathematical models of the closed loop system are compared, thus, confirming the adequacy of mathematical description and prospects for further application in the design of a versatile tool for calculating and adjusting the parameters of the control system for the power supply system under study

Improving the heat resistance of polymer electrical insulation systems for the modernization of induction motors

Ensuring high power, efficiency and reliability of induction motor operation while providing small weight–size parameters represents an up-to-date problem. One of the factors limiting the reduction of weight–sizeparameters when increasing capacities of induction motors is the failure of the insulation system. Therefore, thereis a strong need for studying the issues of slot fill when designing an induction motor, taking into account anincrease in the heat resistance class of electrical insulation systems. The purpose of the present research is todevelop a polymeric electrical insulation system of increased heat resistance for the modernization of aninduction medium-capacity motor to reduce weight–size parameters and to evaluate the possible savings ofwinding material. The paper deals with an analysis on the stator–slot fill for the induction motor. Modernconductor and insulation materials were selected. The necessary calculations for a medium–power inductionmotor of different heat resistance classes were performed. The usage of the proposed electrical insulation systemwas substantiated. The analysis shows the possibility of increasing the heat resistance of the polymer electricalinsulation systems to save winding material for induction motors without reducing the specified quality level

Simulators for Designing Energy-Efficient Power Supplies Based on Solar Panels

Boosted interest in highly efficient power supplies based on renewables requires involving simulators during both the designing stage and the testing one. It is especially relevant for the power supplies that operate in the harsh environmental conditions of northern territories and alike. Modern solar panels based on polycrystalline Si and GaAs possess relatively high efficiency and energy output. To save designing time and cost, system developers use simulators for the solar panels coupled with the power converters that stabilize the output parameters and ensure the proper output power quality to supply autonomous objects: namely, private houses, small-power (up to 10 kW) industrial buildings, submersible pumps, and other equipment. It is crucial for the simulator to provide a valid solar panel I-V curve in various modes and under different ambient conditions: namely, the consumed power rating, temperature, solar irradiation, etc. This paper considers a solar panel simulator topology representing one of the state-of-the-art solutions. This solution is based on principles of classical control theory involving a pulse buck converter as an object of control. A mathematical model of the converter was developed. Its realization in MATLAB/Simulink confirmed the adequacy and applicability of both discrete and continuous forms of the model during the design stage. Families of I-V curves for a commercially available solar panel within the temperature range from -40 to +25 °C were simulated on the model. A prototype of the designed simulator has shown its correspondence to the model in Simulink. The developed simulator allows providing a full-scale simulation of solar panels in various operating modes with the maximum value of the open circuit voltage 60 V and that of the short circuit current 60 A. Issues of statistical processing of experimental data and cognitive visualization of the obtained curves involving the cognitive graphic tool 2-simplex have also been considered within the framework of this research. The simulator designed may serve as a basis for developing a product line of energy-efficient power supplies for autonomous objects based on renewables, including those operating in northern territories
