A new part manufacturing machine can be purchased by Company Z for $[a] right now. The machine will have a life of 10 years and no salvage value. Each part that is made in this machine costs Company Z $1.00. As an alternative, Company Z can sub-contract this part manufacturing to Company A for $[b].00 per part. If the interest rate is 0% per year, Company Z would have to test at least _______________ items each year in order for the machine purchase to be preferred over the subcontracting alternative.

Problem 4: (a) (13 points) Consider a 2-pole PMSM wind generator system delivering 2 MW with a rotor speed of 3000 RPM. Its parameters are . The d axis is aligned with the rotor position, which is given to be -900 at t = 0. The flux linkage in the d-axis winding due to the rotor magnets, . Assume kE = 1. Draw the per-phase equivalent circuit and calculate the phase ‘a’ current. (b) (12 points) Briefly explain (a short paragraph or a few bullet points) each of the following. (1) Volt-VAR control and (2) Super-synchronous mode of operation in DFIG

Problem 1: (25 points) (a) Consider a three-phase, two-level converter with dc link voltage of 1000 V. The CCA value of the line-line voltage generated by the converter is 480 V RMS at 60 Hz. The switching frequency is 20 kHz. Using space vector PWM, plot the instantaneous for one switching period around t = 8 ms. Clearly indicate the CCA value of each quantity also at 8 ms. (b) What is the maximum RMS line-line voltage that can be generated from the given 1000V dc link voltage using space vector PWM?
