HVDC

HVDC stands for high voltage direct current in the electric power transmission system. The high voltage direct current system uses direct current (DC) for the transmission of electrical power through transmission lines in contrast with the alternating current that is the AC system. The HVDC is used to transmit bulk power point-to-point through long distances transmission lines. Power is rapidly transferred because the efficiency of transmission lines is greatly increased over long distances due to HVDC lines.

Consider the design of a home-built wind turbine using a 350-W automobile dc generator. The goal is to deliver 70 kWh in a 30-day month. 1- What capacity factor would be needed for the machine? 2- If the average wind speed is 5 m/s, and Rayleigh statistics apply, what should the rotor diameter be? 3- How fast would the wind have to blow to cause the turbine to put out its full 0.35 kW if the machine is 20% efficient at that point? 4- If the tip-speed-ratio is assumed to be 4, what gear ratio would be needed to match the rotor speed to the generator if the generator needs to turn at 1000 rpm to deliver its rated 350 W? 5- If Rayleigh statistics apply, what is the energy generated in a 30-day month when wind blows between its rated wind speed of 13 m/s and its furling wind speed of 25 m/s?

The following problem pertains to the analysis and control of the Manned Maneuvering Unit System (MMUS). This system utilizes small thrusters, which discharge gas—typically nitrogen—to generate thrust, facilitating astronaut mobility in zero- gravity environments. The scenario considers a combined mass of 100 kilograms, encompassing the astronaut, the MMUS, and any associated equipment. It is assumed that the thrusters function ideally, delivering the specified reactive force instantaneously and with precision. The primary focus is on controlling the astronaut's vertical position to align with the entrance of a space station. This involves an autopilot control strategy that incorporates a velocity control loop within a position control loop. The design of these loops employs proportional gain controllers, denoted as Kv for velocity and Kp for position, respectively. The tasks are as follows: 1.
