Multilevel Inverters (MLIs) have drawn increasing attention in numerous applications, especially in drives, distributed energy resources area, utility etc. MLIs have the ability to synthesize a near sinusoidal output voltage wave with minimal Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) in low frequency switching. Even though they offer lower THD, the presence of lower order harmonics is objectionable and h...

Abstract This paper portrays an approach of an analysis that provides information regarding the presence of harmonics at the inverter output terminal. It is certainly true that harmonics cause unbalance and excessive neutral currents, interference in nearby communication networks and disturbance to other consumers. More importantly, torque pulsations in electric motor drives are caused by them....

We report the measurements of correlations between event-by-event fluctuations of amplitudes of anisotropic flow harmonics in nucleus-nucleus collisions, obtained for the first time using a new analysis method based on multiparticle cumulants in mixed harmonics. This novel method is robust against systematic biases originating from nonflow effects and by construction any dependence on symmetry ...

Solid-state high-harmonic sources offer the possibility of compact, high-repetition-rate attosecond light emitters. However, the time structure of high harmonics must be characterized at the sub-cycle level. We use strong two-cycle laser pulses to directly control the time-dependent nonlinear current in single-crystal MgO, leading to the generation of extreme ultraviolet harmonics. We find that...

Elimination of harmonics in a multilevel inverter with two unequal dc sources is considered. That is, for a given fundamental output voltage, our aim is to find the switching angles, that produce the fundamental while not generating specifically chosen harmonics. A procedure is given to find all sets of switching angles for which the fundamental is produced while lower order harmonics are elimi...

The authors previously reported that same/different judgments on pitch sequences were more accurate for tones with resolved (low-rank) harmonics compared to unresolved (high-rank) harmonics, even when discriminability between tones was equated [Cousineau et al. (2009). J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 126, 3179-3187]. Here, peripheral resolvability, defined by the number of harmonics per cochlear filter, wa...

Impaired perception of consonants by poor readers is reflected in poor subcortical encoding of speech timing and harmonics. We assessed auditory brainstem representation of higher harmonics within a consonant-vowel formant transition to identify relationships between speech fine structure and reading. Responses were analyzed in three ways: a single stimulus polarity, adding responses to inverte...

Taking the semiannual cycle of surface air temperature (SAT) into account in fitting finer structure seasonal cycle, this study reveals specific role modulating variations season onsets and lengths for first time. The time-varying amplitudes phases annual SAT period 1964 to 2017 China are extracted from daily observations based on harmonic analysis. results show that phase differences between t...

This paper presents a critical voltage flicker detection based on a pair of inter-harmonics analysis method. The proposed algorithm can be applied in any crowded human place for human awareness purpose. Moreover, the correlation between pair of inter-harmonics and critical voltage flicker is described in details and the related formulas have been derived as well. According to simulation and exp...

Both fundamental and higher order harmonics are produced within the synchrotron radiation emitted during the free electron laser (FEL) process. These harmonics are not always wanted and at times can be detrimental to the overall operation of the FEL; furthermore, they can have a negative effect on user operations. Thus, the ability to control the harmonics is an important area of research. In t...
