Norway in a nutshell (http://www.uib.no/guide/bergen-tours.html)
This unique and popular day-excursion takes you through some of the most
magnificent scenery to be found on the west coast of Norway. You leave
Bergen by train in the morning, along the beautiful Sørfjorden to the town
of Voss. From there, you start to climb to the great mountain plateau which
separates the western fjords from East Norway. In Myrdal, you change trains
and then go down the many sharp curves on the famous Flåm Railway which has
a reputation for one of the most spectacular train rides in the world. You
will pass by lofty, snow-capped mountains, thundering waterfalls and
peaceful green meadows on your way to the valley below. After a lunch stop
in Flåm, the trip continues by boat on the Aurlandfjord and Nærøyfjord, one
of the narrowest fjords in Western Norway. From the town of Gudvangen you
will go on by bus to Voss where there is a train waiting for you to take
you back to Bergen. Departure Bergen at 8.50 (return 18.50) and 10.20

The costal express - Hurtigruten (http://www.monet.no/hr/)
The World's Most Beautiful Voyage is a voyage like no other. Nothing can
compare with it. Nothing about this journey will resemble anything you have
ever experienced before. A ticket for the Coastal Express is a ticket to
the theatre, an 11-day drama, from Bergen to Kirkenes and back, in which
new acts constantly unfold all around you. The World's Most Beautiful
Voyage offers a unique combination of peace of mind, comfort, and service
on board, coupled with constantly renewed impressions of the scenery
through which you sail and the harbours you visit. You will witness tender
goodbyes on the quayside next to forklifts loaded with cargo. See simple,
weather-beaten villages where you wouldn't have thought it possible that
anyone could live. Discover sheltered, charming fishing villages under the
Midnight Sun in the summer, and the spectacular night skies with dancing
veils of Northern Lights in the winter. And in large towns like Bergen,
Trondheim and Tromsø, you will find art and culture, tourist attractions
and shopping to satisfy your every need.
Trondheim (http://www.aksess.no/trondheim/tourist/)
In Trondheim you can see:
- Nidaros Cathedral - see Social programme: Concert and reception
- The Archbishop's Palace - see Social programme: Concert and reception
- Stiftsgården - see Accompanying persons programme: Go for a stroll I
- The Tyholt Tower - see Accompanying persons programme: Sightseeing in
Trondheim
- The Wharves - The oldest of the wharves along the River Nidelva date back
to the 18th century, nevertheless they still give the impression of the
waterfront as it was long before then. On the seafront, towards the canal,
we find wharves that were built more recently, in the 19th and 20th
centuries.
Lofoten (http://home.sn.no/~perkaa/)
Lofoten is the archipelago to the west in the ocean, north of the Artic
Circle, at the 67th and 68th degree parallels. Lofoten stretches like a
wall of moutains to the southwest in the sea. Between the mainland and the
"Lofoten Wall" lies Vestfjord. Lofoten consists of mountains and peaks,
wide open ocean, sheltered inlets, stretches of seashore and large virgin
areas. The principal islands are Austvågøy, Gimsøy, Vestvågøy, Flakstadøy,
Moskenesøy, Værøy and Røst. The total land area amounts to 1,227 sq.km.
About 24,500 people live there. The road distance is almost 170 km from
Fiskebø near Vesterålen in the north to Å in the south, where the E10 ends.
From Lofotodden, at the south end of Moskenesøy Island, the air distance is
more than 60 km to Skomvær, the southernmost point in Lofoten.

TUTORIALS
Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 September 1997, Technical visit and tutorial at
Kollsnes (near Bergen, Norway) and in the coastal express
T1. Large Power and Industrial Drives by H. Raphael, W. Leonhard, P.
Lataire, A. Børnes, K. Ryen and T. Chr. Stensholt.
EPE offers the EPE'97 conference participants a package including:
- the technical visit to the Statoil Kollsnes gas terminal plant at the
outmost western island of Norway on 6 September 1997;
- transportation by bus along the Bergen archipelago to Kollsnes from
Bergen City Center or Airport and back to the costal express M/S Polarlys
(departure on 6 September at 22.30, arrival on 8 September at 06.00);
- tutorials at Kollsnes and on board of the Polarlys and technical visit of
the ship.
The Statoil gas terminal plant in Kollsnes processes the natural gas coming
through an undersea pipeline from the 472 m high off-shore Troll platform
(measured from the sea-bed) operating the centre of the world largest
offshore gas field.. The core of the plant are 5 gas compressors
individually driven by adjustable speed 41.2 MW synchronous motors.
Particularly interesting are the harmonics filers which are designed to
meet the specified harmonics
content. The filter design was a challenge due to the cable and overhead
line mixture in the power supply to the plant.
The gas transferred to Germany represents 400 TWh per year energy
equivalent, corresponding with a constant power of 45 GW.

T4. Adjustable speed a.c. motor drives, applications by P. Enjeti, F.
Blaabjerg and J. K. Pedersen.
Summary
Adjustable speed a.c. drives have become the preferred choice in many
industrial applications where controlled speed is required. At the
availability of fast solid state power semiconductor switches (IGBTs) has
resulted in voltage source, PWM controlled inverters becoming a standard
configuration in the power range to 500 kW. While high frequency PWM
control represents the most advanced drive concept, when inappropriately
applied, it also generates side effects, some of which have been recognized
only recently.
This course present a comprehensive coverage of application issues of PWM
inverter controlled a.c. motor drives which include: selection criteria for
energy savings, increased motor losses: damage to motor insulation due to
reflected voltages caused by long motor leads, acoustic noise problems and
solutions for sensor-reduction.
Following a description of the problems, several practical solutions are
also presented and nanlysed. Finally, line harmonic problems caused by the
input diode rectifier are also described and several low cost solutions
selected to meet IEEE 519-1992 are presented.
Basic content
Introduction to ASDs, application problems and energy savings;
Introduction of application problems to high dv/dt and long motor leads;
Filter configurations to minimize the motor winding stresses due to high dv/dt;
Application problems due to high dv/dt - continued;
Acoustic noise problems and their reduction;
Reduced sensing technique in ASD and their problems;
Power quality compliance of ASD equipment.
The audience
PWM inverter/motor manufacturers, system designers as well as adjustable

step up-down converter. The mechatronics applications are: simulation of a
pseudo-linear system (friction and stiction), frequency-voltage control of
an induction motor, vector control of an induction motor, wrist stiffening
of a bilateral Master-Slave force reflecting servomanipulator, control of
articulated boom of JET (Joint European Torus) and finally, active control
of an electromagnetic suspension system. For each application example, the
teaching includes a theoretical part (modeling, control design) followed by

T11. Understanding and complying with CISPR and IEC 1000 Standards on EMC
by A. Zuccato, L. Rossetto.
Since January 1996, electrical and electronic equipment sold in the
European market must bear the CE mark which attests compliance to EMC
standards, which take into account both radiated and conducted noises in a
very wide frequency range (up to 1 GHz) and require several emission and
immunity tests (including electrostatic discharge, fast transients, surge
voltages etc.).
The first part of the tutorial reviews the standards regarding
low-frequency emission and immunity to line disturbances, and in particular
IEC 1000-3-2 which limits the low-frequency harmonic distortion (from 50 to
2000 Hz) of equipment with rated current less than 16 A per phase. Common
problems and misunderstandings in applying the norms are addressed and
operational experience is reported for various families of industrial and
domestic loads. Then, basic passive and active power factor correction
techniques are illustrated and compared.
The second part of the tutorial reviews CISPR and IEC standards regarding
conducted and radiated noise emission and immunity. Typical problems
arising from their application are discussed from a practical point of view
and mitigation guidelines are given.
