The presented Modelica package provides models and components of rotating electrical three phase machines. The presented electrical machine models are fully compatible with the original Machines library of the electrical domain but rely on the concept of the magnetic potential and magnetic flux fundamental waves. In this article; the connector concept; the components and electric machine models of the FundemantalWave package will be explained. Additionally; the didactic advantages and the flexibility of the proposed package in with respect to considering more enhanced and sophisticated effects will be discussed.}, language = {en} } @incollection{KralHaumer, author = {Kral, Christian and Haumer, Anton}, title = {Object Oriented Modeling of Rotating Electrical Machines}, series = {Advances in Computer Science and Engineering}, booktitle = {Advances in Computer Science and Engineering}, editor = {Schmidt, Matthias}, publisher = {IntechOpen}, isbn = {978-953-307-173-2}, doi = {10.5772/15898}, pages = {135 -- 160}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{NonnKalwa, author = {Nonn, Aida and Kalwa, Christoph}, title = {The effect of microstructure, strain hardening and strain rate on the fracture behavior of high strength pipeline steels}, series = {2nd International Conference on Material Modelling (ICMM2), 31th August - 2nd September, 2011 at Mines Paris Tech, France}, booktitle = {2nd International Conference on Material Modelling (ICMM2), 31th August - 2nd September, 2011 at Mines Paris Tech, France}, language = {en} } @techreport{MichaelSternerMareikeJentschUweHolzhammer, author = {Michael Sterner, and Mareike Jentsch, and Uwe Holzhammer,}, title = {Energiewirtschaftliche und {\"o}kologische Bewertung eines Windgas-Angebotes}, publisher = {Fraunhofer Institute for Energy Economics and Energy System Technology}, address = {Kassel}, doi = {10.13140/RG.2.2.25093.68328}, abstract = {In this technical report, (1) the benefits of the new technology for future energy supply are discussed, (2) the climate protection effect of wind gas is discussed, and (3) a reasonable use of wind energy for gas generation is analyzed. In particular, windgas in the heat market is discussed in the utilization cascade of wind energy. The new "power-to-gas" concept opens up completely new possibilities for the integration of renewable energies and for coupling the electricity and gas grids. The Sabatier process, which has been known for 100 years, was first developed for this purpose in 2008 under the leadership of the Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research and Fraunhofer IWES (formerly ISET) with electrolysis to create the "power-to-gas" concept for energy storage. A first pilot plant was built by ZSW Stuttgart on behalf of SolarFuel in 2009. This plant proves the technical feasibility of the new technology. Renewable gas is stored, transported and used as required as control and reserve energy via reconversion, e.g. in combined cycle power plants. In this way, decentrally generated renewable electricity is converted into a CO2 -neutral energy carrier with high energy density. The key advantage of renewable methane is the use of existing infrastructure such as gas grids, gas storage and end-use equipment for the integration of renewable energy. Technologies for natural gas are state of the art and commercially available. Methane also has three times the energy density of hydrogen.}, language = {en} } @article{KralKapellerGraggeretal., author = {Kral, Christian and Kapeller, Hansj{\"o}rg and Gragger, Johannes V. and Haumer, Anton and Kubicek, Bernhard}, title = {Phenomenon Rotor Fault-Multiple Electrical Rotor Asymmetries in Induction Machines}, series = {IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics}, volume = {25}, journal = {IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics}, number = {5}, publisher = {IEEE}, issn = {0885-8993}, doi = {10.1109/TPEL.2009.2037502}, pages = {1124 -- 1134}, abstract = {In the literature, the effects caused by a single or several adjacently broken rotor bars, or a broken end ring are thoroughly investigated. The phenomenon of various nonadjacently broken rotor bars has not been studied so far in detail. Since nonadjacently broken rotor bars may give rise to fault signatures, which are not directly related with the fault extent, it is important to understand the nature of multiple electrical rotor asymmetries in induction machines. The purpose of this paper is thus to investigate several combinations of electrical rotor asymmetries, to systematically elaborate the phenomena related to the broken bars and end rings. In this paper, a sophisticated simulation model and measurement results are used to analyze the phenomenon rotor fault.}, language = {en} } @incollection{KapellerHaumerKraletal., author = {Kapeller, Hansj{\"o}rg and Haumer, Anton and Kral, Christian and Grabner, Christian}, title = {Different Designs of Large Chipper Drives}, series = {Electronic Engineering and Computing Technology}, booktitle = {Electronic Engineering and Computing Technology}, editor = {Ao, Sio-Iong and Gelman, Len}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Dordrecht}, isbn = {978-90-481-8775-1}, doi = {10.1007/978-90-481-8776-8_9}, pages = {93 -- 104}, abstract = {This paper presents two simulation models for two variants of a large chipper drive used in a paper mill.
