This paper presents an ant colony approach optimization to shunt capacitor placement on distribution systems under capacitor switching constraints. The optimum capacitor allocation solution is found for the system of feeders fed through their transformer and not for any individual feeder. The main advantages due to capacitor installation, such as system capacity release and reduction of overall...

Between the metal–insulator–metal (MIM) capacitor and metal–oxide–metal (MOM) capacitor, the MIM capacitor has a better characteristic of stable capacitance. However, the MOM capacitors can be easily realized through the metal interconnections, which does not need additional fabrication masks into the process. Moreover, the capacitance density of the MOM capacitor can exceed the MIM capacitor w...

This paper investigates the fault detection of a micro parallel plate capacitor subjected to nonlinear electrostatic force. For this end Thau observer, which has good ability in fault detection of nonlinear system has been presented and governing nonlinear dynamic equation of the capacitor has been presented. Upper and lower threshold for fault detection have been obtained. The robustness of th...

The purpose of the present survey was to review the important Non-pharmacologic treatments for fear of flying up to the present. This study is in the same way as some studies. Accordingly, some Non-pharmacologic treatments for fear of flying were assessed through this systematic review article. The general conclusion from the information provided by the  former studies, shows that a growing num...

We present deep Spitzer IRS low-resolution ( ) 5–35 mm spectroscopy of the edge-on disk the l/Dl ∼ 100 “Flying Saucer” (2MASS J1628137

The proposed photovoltaic Micro Inverter is based on three port flyback with one port dedicated to power decoupling function so the decoupling capacitance is reduced and hence the long lifetime film capacitor is used. One of the two transformers and one capacitor is used for decoupling function. The decoupling capacitor functions as energy storage as well as snubber capacitor to recycle the tra...

The use of fuseless capacitor banks requires subtle changes in the protection approach from the more traditional fused banks. This paper covers the aspects of protecting fuseless capacitor banks of various voltage classes. Comparison of fused versus fuseless capacitor bank protection is discussed, along with examples and insights from Minnesota Power’s experiences with fuseless capacitor banks.
