Transformer Differential Protection with Phase Angle Difference Based Inrush Restraint
Published in Electric Power Systems Research October 1, 2014AhmedHosny & Vijay K.Sood
A new technique for blocking the operation of the transformer differential relay when subjected to magnetizing inrush current is presented in this paper. The relay differential and restraint currents are calculated first, and the fundamental-frequency components of the two currents are then compared to identify the phase angle difference (PAD) between the corresponding transformer primary and secondary currents.

Dynamic Average-Value Modelling of CIGRE HVDC Benchmark System
Published in IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery October 1, 2014H. Atighechi, S. Chiniforoosh, J. Jatskevich, A. Davoudi, J. A. Martinez, M. O. Faruque, V. Sood, M. Saeedifard, J. M. Cano, J. Mahseredjian, D. C. Aliprantis & K. Strunz
High-voltage direct-current (HVDC) systems play an important role in modern energy grids, whereas efficient and accurate models are often needed for system-level studies. Due to the inherent switching in HVDC converters, the detailed switch-level models are computationally expensive for the simulation of large-signal transients and hard to linearize for small-signal frequency-domain characterization. In this paper, a dynamic average-value model (AVM) of the first CIGRE HVDC benchmark system is developed in a state-variable-based simulator, such as Matlab/Simulink, and nodal-analysis-based electromagnetic transient program (EMTP), such as PSCAD/EMTDC.

Modelling of LCC-HVDC Systems Using Dynamic Phasors
Published in IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery August 1, 2014M. Daryabak, S. Filizadeh, J. Jatskevich, A. Davoudi, M. Saeedifard, V. K. Sood, J. A. Martinez, D. Aliprantis, J. Cano & A. Mehrizi-Sani
This paper presents an average-value model of a line-commutated converter-based HVDC system using dynamic phasors. The model represents the low-frequency dynamics of the converter and its ac and dc systems, and has lower computational requirements than a conventional electromagnetic-transient (EMT) switching model.

Steady State and Dynamic Performance of Front End Diode Rectifier Loads as Predicted by Dynamic Average Value Models
Published in IEEE PES General Meeting July 27, 2014Sina Chiniforoosh, Hamid Atighechi, Ali Davoudi, Juri Jatskevich, Juan Martinez, Maryam Saeedifard, Dionysis Aliprantis & Vijay Sood
In this paper, the effects of topological variations of the ac-side filters on the system performance are investigated. Also, the steady-state and dynamic impedances predicted by the average models under balanced and unbalanced operation are compared. The studies and analyses presented here extend and complement those set forth in the preceding companion publication.
Dynamic Averaged and Simplified Models for MMC-Based HVDC Transmission Systems
Published in IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery July 1, 2013H. Saad, J. Peralta, S. Dennetière, J. Mahseredjian, J. Jatskevich, J. A. Martinez, A. Davoudi, M. Saeedifard, V. Sood, X. Wang, J. Cano & Ali Mehrizi-Sani
This paper develops and compares different types of models for efficient and accurate representation of MMC-HVDC systems. The results show that the use of a specific type of model will depend on the conducted analysis and required accuracy.

This capstone design engineering course is envisioned to represent a culminating major teamwork design experience for engineering students specializing in the areas of automotive, mechanical, thermofluids and energy, mechatronics, and manufacturing engineering. It is meant to allow senior-level students to integrate their engineering knowledge and produce useful engineering artifacts. The paramount objective of the course is to expose engineering students to successfully implementing the engineering design process and appropriate engineering design methods into creatively solving design problems conditioned with realistic constraints while using state of the art engineering CAD/CAM/CAE tools and incorporating engineering standards. Another objective of the course is to train design engineering students to focus on a variety of considerations with respect to their designs, such as: economic, environmental, sustainability, manufacturability, ethical, health and safety, social, and political. Yet another objective of the course is to focus on improving the students’ soft skills that include the ability to work in teams, participate in project planning and scheduling, give presentations, and be able to deal with uncertainties in a professional manner. In this context, this capstone design course serves as one of the final preparations for students entering into industry. A wide range of engineering design-related product, process, technology, service or system development topics may be covered in this course. The course covers design considerations for systems that predominantly incorporate automotive, mechanical, thermofluids and energy, mechatronics, and/or manufacturing components and systems. This design-built project based course normally includes studying open-ended engineering design topics of interest to the students. These may consist of real-world design projects proposed and sponsored by industrial partners, or design projects on topics proposed by faculty advisors, or topics proposed by a group of enrolled students. In this context, the engineering design process will be reviewed along with its application to the design of the said systems. Students will work in small groups on a capstone design engineering project of major breadth that will require them to integrate the knowledge that they have gained throughout their program of study and apply it to the design and development of a complete device and/or a complete predominantly automotive, mechanical, thermofluids and energy, mechatronics, and/or manufacturing system. By the end of this course students will have completed the following parts of the design process for their projects: customer requirements; background search; design plan and project management; brainstorming; preliminary concept generation; sketching ideas; engineering specifications (benchmarking); detailed concept generation; functional decomposition; concept development and screening/selection; group preliminary proof of concept prototype demonstrations and oral presentations; and final engineering term report.
