A curvature compensation technique for bandgap voltage references that utilizes an adaptive reference temperature is presented. This compensation technique is intended for high-resolution temperature-stable analogdigital converters. A test circuit had been designed in a 0.6 μm CMOS technology to implement this technique. The reference voltage has a simulated temperature coefficient of 2.3 ppm/ ...

circuit of the power supply in pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage inverters results in output voltage deviations. Although individually small, when accumulated over an operating cycle, the voltage deviations are sufficient to distort the applied PWM signal. This paper presents a new method to correct for the dead time deviations. The Pulse Based Compensator is less hardware and software intens...

This paper presents a procedure for voltage stability margin evaluation under line outage condition considering static voltage stability limit. The proposed methodology is carried out in three steps. The first step of the study mode consists of obtaining sensitivity relation which relate loadability margin with real and reactive power injections at buses. In step two line outage is simulated us...

This paper deals with voltage model flux estimators for speed sensorless induction motor drives. In order to eliminate the drift problems, the pure integrator of the voltage model is replaced with a first-order low-pass filter, and the error due to this replacement is compensated. An effective way to calculate the compensation is presented, and the compensation is carried out before the low-pas...

This paper analyses the influence of the prescribed DC-link voltage on the filtering efficiency, in terms of current harmonic distortion after compensation, in a three-phase three-wire shunt active power line conditioner. The AC voltage controller as nonlinear load and two configurations of the coupling filter are taken into consideration. It is pointed out that, for each rms current to be comp...

High-power thyristors with direct light -triggering and integrated protection functions can be utilized advantageously for applications in which several thyristors are connected in series. This applies in particular to High-Voltage DC (HVDC) transmission, Static Var Compensation (SVC), converters for medium voltage drives, and also to certain pulse power applications. Recent progress in both de...

Whole-cell patch-clamp techniques are widely used to measure membrane currents from isolated cells. While suitable for a broad range of ionic currents, the series resistance (R(s)) of the recording pipette limits the bandwidth of the whole-cell configuration, making it difficult to measure rapid ionic currents. To increase bandwidth, it is necessary to compensate for R(s). Most methods of R(s) ...

The UPFC can provide simultaneous control of all basic power system parameters ( transmission voltage, impedance and phase angle). The controller can fulfill functions of reactive shunt compensation, series compensation and phase shifting meeting multiple control objectives. From a functional perspective, the objectives are met by applying a boosting transformer injected voltage and a exciting ...

This paper describes the design, evaluation, and implementation of a compensation scheme for a measurement voltage transformer (VT) using the hysteresis characteristics of the core. The error of a VT is caused by the primary winding voltage and secondary winding voltage. The latter depends on the secondary current, whereas the former depends on the primary current, which is an aggregate of the ...
