Method and apparatus to determine rotational position of an electrical machine

A control system and method to determine position of a rotor relative to a stator for a synchronous multipole electrical machine is presented, including one for application on a fuel / electric hybrid powertrain for a vehicle. The machine includes a stator, a rotor, and a rotor position sensing mechanism. The control system controls the electrical machine, in conjunction with an electrical storage device and an inverter, using algorithms and calibrations which derive a rotor position based upon a sensorless position sensing technique, and determine an offset from a sensed rotor position. Electrical output from the inverter to the machine is controlled based the offset, which is stored non-volatile memory. A rotor position is derived based upon a sensorless position sensing technique during initial machine operation after startup of the machine, and includes operation in a torque-generative mode and in an electrical energy-generative mode.

Assembly, transportation and installation of deepwater windpower plant

A deepwater windpower plant (DWP) has a tension leg-type floating platform with an evacuable base for adjusting its buoyancy for installation at ocean depths ranging from 40 meters up to 1.5 kilometers and more. The DWP has a typical offshore wind turbine assembled close to shore which is then towed to a desired installation site on the ocean, and held in place by a gravity anchoring base (GAB), to which an evacuable portion or space of the DWP platform is anchored. The GAB has upwardly extending mooring tethers and a power cable which are brought to the ocean surface by attached buoys. The GAB is sunk to the ocean floor at the installation site under controlled conditions so that the GAB lands flat on the ocean floor. As the GAB sinks to the ocean floor, the mooring tethers and power cable are pulled to the surface by their respective buoys. The GAB is loaded with heavy ballast material that can be dropped from barges on the ocean surface into the upwardly open GAB below the barges.

Multi-function power monitor and circuit protector

A compact and multi-functional power monitoring and circuit protection system is provided that is easily installed, used and modified, and internally derives all control and output power from the input voltages being monitored for abnormal power conditions. The functionality of all desired power monitoring and sensing devices is integrated into one unit controlled by a microprocessor. This substantially reduces the number of parts and control wiring required to achieve adequate power monitoring and circuit protection, and reduces the assembly and installation time. The integrated system uses only one set of voltage input wires, one set of current input wires, one set of blown fuse input wires and one output pair of wires to the power disconnect switch's shunt trip. Circuitry is provided to select one of the three power phases being monitored such that one of the three phases is always available to power the system. Control voltages for controlling the shunt trip and external circuits using output relays (to illuminate pilot lights, bell alarms, etc.) are also provided onboard the unit. A blown fuse detection circuit uses solid-state devices in lieu of replaceable trigger fuses. The unit can be instantly reset itself after a blown fuse condition in a power disconnect switch has been rectified.

Cooling fan with electric motor

The invention relates to a cooling fan for use in a motor vehicle. To achieve improved cooling of an electric motor it is proposed that the motor housing enclosing the electric motor be used as a heat sink for emitting waste heat into a cooling air flow. The cooling air flow for cooling the electric motor is routed here through the interior of the motor housing and subsequently along the outside of the motor housing over cooling elements in the areas of the air inlet openings and in the area or an air exit gap between fan wheel hub and front part of the motor housing. The cooling air flow is created in this case by the fan wheel hub of the fan wheel driven by the electric motor.

Multi-tier automatic warehouse

An automated storage / retrieval system has two pairs of multi-tier racks that are arranged in series. An elevator is disposed between the two pairs of multi-tier racks. The elevator enables a load to be delivered to and received from the two pairs of multi-tier racks. The automated storage / retrieval system having such a tandem structure not only can provide the same storage capacity as that of a conventional configuration in which two pairs of multi-tier racks are arranged in parallel, but also can be applied to a building with a limited height since the system does not need to have an extended height. Since only one elevator is needed, the number of units is less than that of a conventional system, reducing manufacturing cost and an installation space for the system.
