Electrical Engineering Education In An Industrial Laboratory

This paper describes a unique electrical engineering laboratory course. This laboratory is an example of industry-uni-versity cooperation in engineering education. The organization and operation of the course is outlined and explained. The educational benefits derived from such cooperation between industry and the university are briefly detailed. These benefits are extended to the students, the university, the faculty, and the participating industry. This paper provides the framework and challenge to industry from which other laboratory experiences can be conceived and developed.

Analog simulation of a synchronous machine

The problem presented here is a study by an analog computer simulation of a synchronous machine under balanced three phase, short-circuit conditions. The purpose is to obtain a solution that is more accurate than one obtained by approximate methods using transient and subtransient reactances as is often done. This simulation is accomplished by using an idealized synchronous machine. The equations relating voltage and currents in the machine, as well as speed and torque, are presented for simulation. The equations for the machine include the saliency of one member, as well as the effect of speed and the damper windings. A transformation of axes, as suggested by Park, is used to simplify the set of equations to be simulated. The set of transformed equations are simulated on an EAI, TR-48 analog computer. The solution of the equations is obtained in terms of the direct and quadrature axis currents and then transformed into phase currents. The phase currents obtained from the simulation are then compared with actual test data for a synchronous machine --Abstract, page ii

Industry Participation In Electrical Engineering Education-extra High Voltage Laboratory

A unique electrical engineering laboratory course is described. This laboratory is an example of how industry can cooperate with universities in engineering education. The organization and operation of the course as well as the course material is outlined and explained, including the ways in which the industry participates in the operation of the laboratory. The educational benefits derived from such a cooperation between industry and the university are briefly detailed. These benefits are extended to the student, the University, the faculty, and the participating industry. This article provides the framework on which other laboratory experiences could be conceived and developed where industry and the university cooprate in the labortory course. © 1971 SDAIEE

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF BREAKDOWN IN TRANSFORMER OIL.

The statistics of breakdown for transformer oil in a uniform field gap is an important design consideration. The theoretical probability distribution which closely fits the experimental data under 60 Hz ac voltage, positive and negative lightning impulses and positive and negative switching surges is evaluated and a statistical distribution is suggested

High Voltage Powerline Injury Studies

Current pathways and reconstructions of human injury after contact with distribution powerlines are not well understood. The impedance, currents, and modes of tissue destruction are rarely known. Eight anesthetized hogs, weighing 68 to 90 kg, were used in studies with potentials ranging from 2,100 to 14,400 volts. Electrical contact was made between the hindlimbs, from the hindlimb to forelimb, and over other regions of the body. Currents from 4 to 70 amperes rms and impedances ranging from 130 to 477 ohms were measured. Phase angles up to 40° were observed.

The Development Of An Interactive Industry/Academic Power Engineering Education Program At The University Of Missouri-Rolla

This paper describes the development of a unique andinno-vative program in power engineering education enhanced through an Industry/Academic interrelationship. This program is devoted to both the teaching and the practice of power engineering. The development of the Industry/Academic relationship and its value as a model for power engineering education are related. A summary of present and proposed future activities concludes the report.

Power Company Fuel Supply - Problems And Solutions

A power company in the business of supplying electricity to its customers faces numerous problems associated with power production. One of its major problems is to supply its power plants with fuel and to use that fuel as economically as possible. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the difficulties that a power company has in supplying itself with fuel and to propose a technique that will produce a more prudent and economical use of fuel. The technique utilizes a multistage computer algorithm, which takes into consideration the power company\u27s complete fuel supply process from coal mine to busbar. It requires a mathematical modeling of this process and allows for as much modeling flexibility as possible. © 1982

Power Company Fuel Supply - Sensitivity Analysis

With the rising costs of the purchase and transport of coal, methods for reducing these costs have acquired increased importance to the electric utility company. Important to the success of a method is a knowledge of the sensitivity of the model to its controlled and uncontrolled variables. A sensitivity analysis procedure plus example problems are the essential ingredients of this paper. © 1982
