SUMMARY:Power Quality Challenges with High Penetration of Renewable Systems
DESCRIPTION:The live presentation of this event has already taken place. \nPlease view the PDF slides here or watch the video recording below:\n \nWebinar details\nPhotovoltaic systems represent a significant source of power generation\, with their production susceptible to fluctuations caused by changing shading conditions resulting from varying weather and environmental factors. While the modular multilevel converter (MMLC) stands out as a promising choice for achieving high power\, the conventional MMLC\, in its quest for more voltage levels\, demands additional cells. This\, in turn\, amplifies complexity and results in increased losses. \nIn this webinar\, we propose the implementation of a hybrid MMLC\, which employs fewer IGBT switches for the same number of output levels\, ultimately reducing losses and enhancing voltage output. The augmentation of power production is realized through the series and parallel connection of half and full bridge cells in the converter configuration. Furthermore\, the converter adeptly addresses power quality issues\, including voltage\, current\, and power\, without the need for active or passive filters. \nDespite these advancements\, fluctuations in input irradiation and temperature introduce disturbances to output parameters such as voltage\, current\, and power. \nMitigating these imbalances in a grid-connected converter is crucial for stabilizing control and ensuring the quality of power injected into the grid. As a solution\, the implementation of zero sequence control (ZSC) is proposed to generate balanced power\, especially when dealing with unstable input parameters. To achieve power balance among the converter phases being supplied to the grid\, zero sequence voltage (ZSV) is injected into each phase of the converter output. This validation process ensures the equilibrium of power among the phases fed into the low voltage grid. \nSimulation results are presented to assess the output parameters both before and after the injection of ZSV in the low voltage (LV) grid-connected Hybrid MMLC of a large-scale PV system. These results demonstrate the improved performance achieved through this approach. \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.\nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in UTC. You will need to convert this to your own time zone.\n\nKey takeaways from this webinar\n\nModelling and implementation of an efficient MMLC converter with hybrid approach for full and half bridge cells arranged in series and parallel for better output performance.\nZSC is used for solving power quality issues that arise during different shading patterns within phases of the converter.\nThe proposed controller scheme satisfactorily handles the variable irradiance values with the MPPT application.\n\nRelated courses\nThis webinar/topic relates to our schools of Electrical Engineering and Renewable Energy particularly found in the following courses: \n\nProfessional Certificate of Competency in Renewable Energy Systems\nProfessional Certificate of Competency in Smart Grids\n52894WA Advanced Diploma of Applied Electrical Engineering (Renewable Energy)\n52859WA Graduate Certificate in Renewable Energy Technologies\nOnline – Bachelor of Science (Electrical Engineering)\nOnline – Master of Engineering (Electrical Systems)\n\nAbout the presenter\n \nDr. Munira Batool\, EIT Lecturer and Postgraduate Supervisor \nDr. Munira Batool is an Online Lecturer\, Unit Coordinator and Postgraduate Research Supervisor in Electrical Engineering Department.

SUMMARY:Optimization of Biomimetic-Based Aircraft Wing
DESCRIPTION:The live presentation of this event has already taken place. \nPlease view the PDF slides here or watch the video recording below:\n \nWebinar details\nThis webinar will discuss the numerical simulations in ANSYS Fluent software to investigate the influence of leading-edge protuberances on the wings of a NACA 2412 cross-section. Various parameters\, including different wavelengths and amplitudes of protuberances\, were explored\, mimicking humpback whale flipper characteristics. The simulations were conducted at a velocity of 65 m/s in a turbulent flow domain with a chord-based Reynolds number of 2.29*105\, using the SST k-ω models. \nThe results revealed notable differences in the aerodynamic performance of wings with leading-edge protuberances compared to smooth leading edges. Wings with protuberances demonstrated a higher lift coefficient (CL) and lower drag coefficient (CD) at the post-stall region. \nTwo specific cases with the best CL and CD after stall angle (16 degrees) were identified for optimization. The optimized wing showcased remarkable improvements in aerodynamic performance over the baseline and other wing configurations. It achieved a 23.33% increase in lift\, outperforming all other defined wings. Furthermore\, it reduced drag by 16% and enhanced the lift-to-drag ratio by 35% compared to the baseline wing. These results show that leading-edge protuberances (LEPs) may be able to improve wing performance after stalling.

DESCRIPTION:The live presentation of this event has already taken place. \nPlease view the PDF slides here or watch the video recording below:\n \nA detailed investigation was conducted on influence of microstructure constituents in two-body abrasive wear. A CSM high temperature pin-on-disc tribometer was extensively employed to simulate two-body abrasive wear. In this study\, four microstructures (e.g. bainite\, pearlite\, martensite and tempered martensite) with similar hardness levels displayed a distinct response towards the abrasive behaviour. Despite similar hardness levels\, the unique friction coefficient curve of the microstructures was ascribed to the characteristics of the microstructure constituents. The study revealed that the multiphase microstructures (bainite and pearlite) revealed better abrasion resistance than the single-phase microstructures (martensite and tempered martensite). Moreover\, the two-body abrasive wear induced significant microstructural changes (i.e. severe deformation) in their sub-surface layers (i.e. region beneath the abraded surface). Surface profile and topography techniques highlighted the quantum of material loss in the microstructures. The distinct material removal mechanisms (e.g. ploughing and cutting) in the microstructures were observed through exclusive single wear track analysis. In general\, microstructures with a combination of brittle and ductile metallurgical phases exhibiting work-hardening behaviour was more beneficial in abrasive conditions. However\, there was a need to identify a laboratory abrasive wear test that can simulate the actual industrial test conditions. \nTo address this\, a high strain abrasive wear testing was chosen\, where a robust indenter abraded the microstructure under the action of a normal load\, which resulted in a groove. This isolated the effect of abrasive environment characteristics (i.e. deterioration of abrasive particles) in the abrasion\, thereby focusing on the microstructure response. This resulted in a thorough understanding of the material removal mechanisms occurring in microstructures during abrasion. The groove characteristics (i.e. degree of penetration\, Dp) were significantly influenced by the microstructure constituents and the normal load. As expected\, multi-phase microstructures (bainite and pearlite) demonstrated better abrasion resistance than the single-phase microstructures (martensite and tempered martensite). In general\, the microstructures experienced ploughing material removal mechanism at low loads (i.e. 200 N to 500 N)\, whereas\, cutting was more dominant at relatively high loads (above 1000 N). Additionally\, a positive correlation between the work-hardening behaviour and the abrasive wear resistance of microstructures was observed through the subsurface\nlayer characterization. This proved to be the driving force for a future study in the abrasive wear behaviour of ultra-high strength bainitic steels (also known as nanobainitic steel). The presence of retained austenite in their microstructure matrix is known for superior work-hardening behaviour through TRansformation Induced Plasticity (TRIP) effect. \nKey takeaways from this webinar: \n\nThe microstructural constituents influenced their abrasive wear behaviour.\nSub-surface investigations revealed unique abrasive response of the microstructures.\nThe work hardening behaviour and distinct material removal mechanisms were observed in the microstructures.\n\nPresenter: Dr. Balaji Trichy Narayanaswamy \nBalaji is an Interdisciplinary Lecturer at University of Sydney.
