Doubly Fed Induction Machine Models for Integration into Grid Management Software for Improved Post Fault Response Calculation Accuracy—A Short Review by Andrija Mitrovic, Luka Strezoski, Kenneth A. Loparo

“…While the stator windings are directly connected to the power system, the rotor windings are connected via power converters, making these units vulnerable to voltage disturbances. During faults, voltage drops at the stator terminals lead to elevated voltages and currents on the rotor side due to electromagnetic coupling between stator and rotor, potentially damaging rotor insulation and costly power electronics. …”

The Death of American Studies by Simon J. Bronner

“…The essay posits that the American Studies movement as it was conceptualized within the American Studies Association in the United States went into decline in the late twentieth century, largely because of the association’s inability, or unwillingness, to resolve differences between “Americanist” research-based scholars, many international, working within an American Studies tradition identified by Dorson and those coming to it from outside American Studies supposedly following “critical” thought. …”
