background: the ob­jective of this study was to find an appropriate approach to asymptomatic malaria in elimination setting through a systematic review. methods: a broad search was conducted to find articles with the words ‘malaria’ in their titles and ‘asymptomatic’ or ‘submicroscopic’ in their texts, irrespective of the type of study conducted. the cochrane, medline/pubmed, and scopus databas...

A generalized formulation of Selective Harmonic Elimination (SHE) PWM for Multilevel Inverter is recently formulated in literature which can eliminate a large number of lower order harmonics. Various methods for calculating the firing angles for SHE PWM are known and still research in this area is ongoing. This paper presents a MATLAB based approach for modeling and simulation method suitable f...

In this study, a review of cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter topology and control schemes was conducted. Multilevel inverter topology (MLI) H-bridge cascade is implemented to reduce harmonic for high power applications. Applications of multilevel converters are able to reduce the number of harmonics contained in the system of low-voltage electrical distribution. Each topology has their own ...

This paper presents method of selecting switching angles of a cascaded multilevel inverter so as to produce required fundamental voltage along with improved staircase waveform in terms of harmonics. Cascaded multilevel inverter uses number of DC sources, for k sources number of levels will be 2k+1 and leads to k number of non-linear equations to be solved. Many approaches can be made regarding ...

This paper deals with the performance analysis of static compensator (STATCOM) based voltage regulator for self excited induction generators (SEIGs) supplying balanced/unbalanced and linear/non linear loads. A threephase insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) based current controlled voltage source inverter (CC-VSI) known as STATCOM is used for harmonic elimination. It also provides the requi...

In this paper, we propose a novel descriptor for shapes. The proposed descriptor is obtained from 3D spherical harmonics. The inadequacy of 2D spherical harmonics is addressed and the method to obtain 3D spherical harmonics is described. 3D spherical harmonics requires construction of a 3D model which implicitly represents rich features of objects. Spherical harmonics are used to obtain descrip...

Results are presented on the generation of high harmonics through the scattering of relativistic electrons from high-intensity laser light. The characteristic signatures of this process are found to be the emission of evenorder harmonics, linear dependence on the electron density, significant amount of harmonics with circular polarization, and small spatial extent of the source. The harmonics a...

This paper mainly deals with the design of AC chopper using Genetic Algorithm based harmonic elimination technique. Genetic Algorithm is used to calculate optimum switching angles to eliminate lower order harmonics in the output voltage. Total Harmonic Distortion of output voltage is calculated from the obtained switching angles and also adopted in the proposed fitness function. Comparative ana...

In this paper a new topology is proposed for energy storage and the power distribution using Ultracapacitors in cascaded multilevel inverters.
