A Three-Level 12 pulse Three-Phase Active Front End ensures reduced low order harmonics influence and therefore minimizes volume and amount of network side filters. This paper presents the experimental study concerning the regenerative unity-power factor operation of a 3LAFE converter, highlighting the possible reduction of non-eliminated harmonics by the introduction of slight variations of mo...

Active power filters most of the times are employed for elimination of the harmonics created by non-linear loads in power system and for reactive power compensation of linear and non-linear loads. Compensating current is sent by shunt active power filter (SAF) at Point of Common Coupling (PCC) to mitigate current harmonics in the line. Hence sinusoidal nature of current and voltage waveforms ar...

The pulse width modulated power inverters have been increasingly using to convert DC power to AC power in small wind plants. When these inverters are used for power conversion, the integrated output voltage waveform is inevitably distorted. Although increasing the switching frequency is one choice to achieve the smoother output voltage, it adds extra harmonics to the output. There are various t...

A method is presented to compute the switching angles in a multilevel converter so as to produce the required fundamental voltage while at the same time not generate higher order harmonics. Using a fundamental switching scheme, previous work has shown that this is possible only for specific ranges of the modulation index. Here it is shown for a three DC source multilevel inverter that, by modif...

The mathematical underpinning of the pulse width modulation (PWM) technique lies in the attempt to represent "accurately" harmonic waveforms using only square forms of a fixed height. The accuracy can be measured using many norms, but the quality of the approximation of the analog signal (a harmonic form) by a digital one (simple pulses of a fixed high voltage level) requires the elimination of...

Many natural sounds are periodic and consist of frequencies (harmonics) that are integer multiples of a common fundamental frequency (F0). Such harmonic complex tones (HCTs) evoke a pitch corresponding to their F0, which plays a key role in the perception of speech and music. "Pitch-selective" neurons have been identified in non-primary auditory cortex of marmoset monkeys. Noninvasive studies p...

The nonlinear characteristics of power electronic-based loads in a system contribute major role the harmonics’ injection and other quality disturbances. This affects supplied to consumers by distribution systems. Flexible AC transmission (FACTS) devices at level custom are used for an effective transfer. In addition these devices, filters play prominent paper aims analyze supply voltage time–fr...

Selective elimination of unwanted synapses is vital for the precise formation of neuronal circuits during development, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Using inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 2 knockout (Itpr2(-/-)) mice to specifically disturb somatic Ca(2+) signaling in astrocytes, we showed that developmental elimination of the ventral posteromedial nucleus relay synaps...
