Control of a Doubly Fed Induction Generator in a Wind Turbine During Grid Fault Ride-Through (2006)
Journal Article
Xiang, D., Ran, L., Tavner, P., & Yang, S. (2006). Control of a Doubly Fed Induction Generator in a Wind Turbine During Grid Fault Ride-Through. IEEE Transactions on Energy Conversion, 21(3), 652-662. https://doi.org/10.1109/tec.2006.875783

This paper analyzes the ability of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) in a wind turbine to ride through a grid fault and the limitations to its performance. The fundamental difficulty for the DFIG in ride-through is the electromotive force (EMF)...

Manganese removal from mine waters - investigating the occurrence and importance of manganese carbonates (2006)
Journal Article
Bamforth, S., Manning, D., Singleton, I., Younger, P., & Johnson, K. (2006). Manganese removal from mine waters - investigating the occurrence and importance of manganese carbonates. Applied Geochemistry, 21(8), 1274-1287. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apgeochem.2006.06.004

Manganese is a common contaminant of mine water and other waste waters. Due to its high solubility over a wide pH range, it is notoriously difficult to remove from contaminated waters. Previous systems that effectively remove Mn from mine waters have... Read More about Manganese removal from mine waters - investigating the occurrence and importance of manganese carbonates.

Characteristics of a diffusion absorption refrigerator driven by the waste heat from engine exhaust (2006)
Journal Article
