Abstract: Provided is a system for transporting an oil sand slurry, comprising a pump, upstream and downstream lines, a shaft connectable to the pump, a driving mechanism driving the pump and a regulator for regulating the torque applied to the shaft between positive and negative torque modes, to pump the slurry at higher or lower flow rates. Also provided is a method comprising pumping the slurry through a pipeline using a pump driven by a motorised shaft and adjusting the flow rate of the slurry by varying the torque applied to the motorised shaft between positive and negative torque modes. The oil sand slurry transportation system and method enable positive head (regular pump action) for normal and high flow rates and negative head (pump brake action) for low flow rates, which reduces system energy loss, pipeline wear, vapor breakout and sanding off.

Abstract: Vibrations at harmonic frequencies are reduced by injecting harmonic balancing signals into the armature of a linear motor/alternator coupled to a Stirling machine. The vibrations are sensed to provide a signal representing the mechanical vibrations. A harmonic balancing signal is generated for selected harmonics of the operating frequency by processing the sensed vibration signal with adaptive filter algorithms of adaptive filters for each harmonic. Reference inputs for each harmonic are applied to the adaptive filter algorithms at the frequency of the selected harmonic. The harmonic balancing signals for all of the harmonics are summed with a principal control signal. The harmonic balancing signals modify the principal electrical drive voltage and drive the motor/alternator with a drive voltage component in opposition to the vibration at each harmonic.

Abstract: A differential transmission (4) for an energy generating installation, in particular for a wind power installation, has three input or output drives wherein a first input drive is connected to an input drive shaft (2) of the energy generating installation, an output drive is connected to a generator (13) which can be connected to a power supply system (9), and a second input drive is connected to an electrical machine (14, 8) as a differential drive (14). At least two machine-side frequency converter output stages (22) are connected to the electrical machine (14, 18). The electrical machine (14, 18) can therefore prevent the second input drive from rotating at an excessively high rotation speed in the event of failure of a machine-side frequency converter output stage (22), by electrical braking with the aid of at least one further machine-side frequency converter output stage (22).
