CHAPTER 2: PROFILE OF THE COMPANY ABB is a multinational organization headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, operating mainly in robotics and the power and automation technology areas. It ranked 158th in the Forbes Ranking (2013). ABB is one of the largest engineering companies as well as one of the largest conglomerates in the world. ABB has operations in around 100 countries, with approximately 150,000 employees in November 2013 and reported global revenue of $40 billion for 2011. ABB is traded
yes. This new technology is called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and has made a splash over the past few years with the media, the scientific community, and the most daring DIYers because of its unprecedented effects in treating illness and enhancing cognitive function. tDCS is a simple form of brain stimulation where one or two milliamps of direct current electricity is applied to the skull via two or more sponge electrodes. The current passes through the skull and
simulations. The results show the feasibility of the hybrid system. Keywords: HVDC system, LCC-VSC Hybrid system, MMC(Modular Multilevel Converter). INTRODUCTION Bulk power transfer can be carried out Over long distances by a high voltage direct current (HVDC) connection is cheaper than by a HVAC transmission line. Power transmission to remote load centers and islands has been the major concern for power
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation is a form of neurostimulation in which mild electrical currents are delivered to the desired portion of the brain using electrodes that are placed on the scalp. Based on several recent studies, its application is thought to immediately boost memory, focus, energy, and vigilance, as well as assisting in the treatment of a wide range of drug-resistant mental illnesses. So far, the number of complications found associated with tDCS is greatly outnumbered by the
Permanent magnet brushless direct current motors Nowadays, because of the fast evolution of electronic device, The recent developments in permanent magnet materials, solid state devices and microelectronic have led to the appearance of a new energy efficient drives using permanent magnet brushless direct current motors (PMBLDCM). Brushless direct current (BLDC) motors are preferred as small horsepower control motors because their efficiency is very high, the operation is in a silent mode, has a
American inventor, electrical engineer and physicist. He is best known for his contribution to the design of the alternating current electricity supply system. In 1884, after he had gained some experience in telephony and engineering, he moved to the U.S.A to work for Thomas Edison at his ‘Edison Machine Works’. Tesla was given the task of redesigning the Edison Company’s direct current generators and in 1885 he said that he could redesign the inefficient motor and generators that Edison had created, making
“Direct Current is like a river flowing peacefully to sea while Alternating Current is like a torrent flowing violently over a precipice”, (Edison). War Of The Currents is a war between Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, and George Westinghouse. Edison believed that Direct Current was the new future, While Tesla believed that Alternating Current was. Included in the feud are Serbian engineer Nikola Tesla. He immigrated to the USA in 1884 where he worked for Thomas Edison before resigning a year later
Domestic ring main circuit Two ends of the rings are connected towards the same terminal at the consumer unit, then the current will travel in the two directions so that the cables do not have too much current that it cannot handle it enough. When there is long lengths of cable, the electricity will lose its power to work and oppositely trying to apply too much current on a cable will be potentially dangerous to anyone handling it. So therefore the use of and benefits of domestic ring main delivers
software control. As the input sources signals from the engine, we use them in the real time and FPGA LabVIEW control interface as logic control to determine the allowable timing operation window of the injector module for both port and direct injection. Controlling direct injection will be determined by the relative speed of the engine, the crank-angle degree signal source. As these sources
once could only be done through hard labor in a few weeks or months; can now be done in a few hours or even seconds. An example of this is alternating current versus direct current, which is better? Direct current is when electricity flows in one direction consistently. Batteries, like the ones you may use in a TV remote rely on DC. Alternating current is when the electricity passes back and forth between points instead of just constantly flowing through. A cell phone would be a device that uses AC
