LECTURE NOTES on Utilization of Electrical Energy & Traction
LECTURE NOTES ON Utilization of Electrical Energy & Traction Name of the course: Diploma in Electrical Engineering. (6th Semester) Notes Prepared by: HIMANSU BHUSAN BEHERA Designation : LECTURER IN ELECTRICAL College : UTKALMANI GOPABANDHU INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING, ROURKELA CHAPTER-1 ELECTROLYSIS Definition and Basic principle of Electro Deposition. Electro deposition is the process of coating a thin layer of one metal on top of different metal to modify its surface properties. It is done to achieve the desire electrical and corrosion resistance, reduce wear &friction, improve heat tolerance and for decoration. Electroplating Basics Fig-1. Electrochemical Plating Figure- 1, schematically illustrates a simple electrochemical plating system. The ―electro‖ part of the system includes the voltage/current source and the electrodes, anode and cathode, immersed in the ―chemical‖ part of the system, the electrolyte or plating bath, with the circuit being completed by the flow of ions from the plating bath to the electrodes. The metal to be deposited may be the anode and be ionized and go into solution in the electrolyte, or come from the composition of the plating bath. Copper, tin, silver and nickel metal usually comes from anodes, while gold salts are usually added to the plating bath in a controlled process to maintain the composition of the bath. The plating bath generally contains other ions to facilitate current flow between the electrodes. The deposition of metal takes place at the cathode. The overall plating process occurs in the following sequence: 1. Power supply pumps electrons into the cathode. 2. An electron from the cathode transfers to a positively charged metal ion in the solution and the reduced metal plates onto the cathode. -

Introduction Power plant availability is a key focus in the industry worldwide and continuous generator operation is more likely when a comprehensive maintenance program is implemented by the owner. However, Mitsubishi Electric recognizes the customer needs to maintain a high level of availability while minimizing maintenance costs. Therefore, the GenSPIDER® was developed in order to offer an alternative to frequent, costly major generator inspections while still providing intelligence as to the condition of the generator. Conventional generator inspections are costly and require a long outage duration, in part because the rotor must be removed. Electric power producers have been looking to shorten these inspections as well as improve inspection accuracy to extend the availability of their generators. Mitsubishi Electric Corporation developed a dedicated robot capable of inspecting a turbine generator by passing through the narrow gap between the rotor and stator (air gap), eliminating the need to remove the rotor. Hence, more thorough inspections can be completed within short duration outage. Further, thanks to its high accuracy, interior inspections can be carried out less frequently and help operators avoid stocking parts they do not yet actually need. -

International Journal of Engineering and Technical Research (IJETR) ISSN: 2321-0869, Volume-3, Issue-5, May 2015 Stator Casing Depth Analysis under Static Loading Jayesh Janardhanan, Dr. Jitendra Kumar Once a hydroelectric complex is constructed, the project Abstract— The titled research paper is to analyse the stator produces no direct waste, and has a considerably lower casing of generator by different theories of analysis. The emission of greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) than fossil fuel powered energy plants. This power accounts for peak theoretical calculation of stator casing is elaborated in detail by load demands and back-up for frequency fluctuation, so considering it as curved beam. The fabricated stator casing of pushing up both the marginal generation costs and the value hydroelectric generator with intermediate ribs which are of the electricity produced. It is a flexible source of electricity segmented is considered for formulating the results. These since plants can be ramped up and down very quickly to adapt to changing energy demands, in order of few minutes. Power casings are of larger diameters widely used in electrical generation can also be decreased quickly when there is a machines, which can be of varying shape and sizes. And they are surplus power generation. The limited capacity of applied for carrying out static as well as dynamic loads hydropower units is not generally used to produce base power except for vacating the flood pool or meeting downstream through-out its span.

Instead, it serves as backup for non-hydro generators. textbook of strength of materials is used to determine the beams The major advantage of hydroelectricity is elimination of the depth. -
Improvements in Modern Weapons Systems: the Use of Dielectric
Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 6 August 2021 doi:10.20944/preprints202108.0166.v1 Improvements in modern weapons systems: the use of dielectric materials for the development of advanced models of electric weapons powered by brushless homopolar generator Daniela Georgiana GOLEA PhD student, "Mihai Viteazul" National Intelligence Academy, Bucharest, Romania [email protected] Lucian Ștefan COZMA PhD in Military Sciences, National Defense University "Carol I", Bucharest, Romania PhD student, Faculty of Physics, Magurele, University of Bucharest, Romania [email protected] Abstract: Although the idea of making electric weapons has emerged since the beginning of the 20th Century, the great number of technological problems made that such technology was not developed. During the Cold War, the US strategic programme Space Defensive Initiative paid a special attention to this category of weapons, but the experiments have demonstrated that the prototypes are too big, very heavy, and involve a very high energy consumption and low reliability. Under these circumstances, the authors have noticed the trend to design new types of electric weapons starting from the hybridization of some technologies: the compressed flux weapons, the plasma electromagnetic cannon, the electromagnetic weapons as the coil-gun and rail-gun. Keywords: electric weapons, rail gun, electromagnetic ammunition, hybrid technologies, plasma detonator. Introduction Since the beginning of the XXth Century there have been concerns about the development of the electric weapons capable of equating and even exceeding the performance of firearms by using the electromagnetic forces. In order to see how this technology evolved and what prospects it opens, we will continue by giving five examples: the early electric weapons proposed by the inventor Fauchon Vileplee1; the electric weapon model analyzed by Ladislav Zenisek2; the model experienced by the French3 in the late 90s, and the model recently analyzed by lt.col. -
Brushless DC Electric Motor

This external rotor motor weighs 5 grams, consumes approximately 11 watts (15 millihorsepower) and produces thrust of more than twice the weight of the plane.

The current-to-torque and frequency-to-speed relationships of BLDC motors are linear. BLDC motors may be described as stepper motors, with fixed permanent magnets and possibly more poles on the rotor than the stator, or reluctance motors. The latter may be without permanent magnets, just poles that are induced on the rotor then pulled into alignment by timed stator windings. However, the term stepper motor tends to be used for motors that are designed specifically to be operated in a mode where they are frequently stopped with the rotor in a defined angular position; this page describes more general BLDC motor principles, though there is overlap. -
