This study presents a phasor model simulation of a grid integrated variable speed pumped storage (VSPS) system focusing on generating
mode. The VSPS is configured by the voltage sourced converter doubly-fed induction machine (DFIM) scheme. A wound rotor induction
machine dynamic mathematical model and generalised averaging theory are adopted to der...
The flowfield past flat and curved grid models simulating segments of a ribbon parachute was investigated experimentally. Flow visualizations and surface pressure measurements were conducted to study the effect of the spacing ratio and the Reynolds number. Irregular and unstable flow patterns existed behind the flat grid model at high solidity conf...
