Abstract --One of the major problems in electric power quality is the harmonic contents. There are several methods of indicating the quantity of harmonic contents. As per IEEE 519 std. these parameters of power quality measurement, are four in number, of which Total Harmonic Distortion is most widely used. In electrical systems, harmonics increase business operating costs by increasing downtime...

The influence of electric vehicle charging stations on power grid harmonics is becoming increasingly significant as their presence continues to grow. This paper studies the operational principles of the charging current in the continuous and discontinuous modes for a three-phase uncontrolled rectification charger with a passive power factor correction link, which is affected by the charging pow...

Major constraints while using motor drive system are efficiency and cost. Commutation in the conventional DC motors is carried out by commutator which is rotating part placed on the rotor and brushes. Due to these mechanical parts, conventional DC motor consist high amount of losses. Brushless DC (BLDC) Motors are very extensively used motors these days because of its advantages over convention...

The adaptive power management strategy is developed for a four-mode plug-in hybrid electric vehicle in this paper. For a given driving pattern, dynamic programming is employed to obtain the global optimum as the performance upper bound to benchmark the proposed strategy. A selforganizing fuzzy controller is used to adaptively adjust the equivalence factor for converting the electric power usage...

the computer simulation program of a practical scale reverse electrodialysis process has been developed based on the program for saline water electrodialysis. the program is applied to compute the performance of an industrial-scale reverse electrodialysis stack (effective membrane area s = 1 m × 1 m = 1 m2, cell pair number n = 300 pairs). the stack operatingconditions are optimized. seawater a...

Routine power quality (PQ) monitoring is limited to a statistical sample of sites that are hopefully representative of the overall PQ performance of the network. It would be helpful if the PQ performance of un-monitored sites could be inferred from the results of a PQ survey from a site having similar physical characteristics. This is only possible if it is known which physical characteristics ...

Abstract: In this paper, we develop a novel electric power supply chain network model with fuel supply markets that captures both the economic network transactions in energy supply markets and the physical network transmission constraints in the electric power network. The theoretical derivation and analysis are done using the theory of variational inequalities. We then apply the model to a spe...

Power Electronics have proved itself as an encompassing field for power generation and 1IlaI1ag4:me Traditionally conversion of ac to de vo~es has been dominated by phase controlled or diode rectifiers. The ideal character of the input current draWnby these rectifiers creates number of problems like increase in .. power, high input current harmonics and low input power factor, lower rectifier e...
