The global electrical energy consumption is still rising and there is a steady demand to increase the power capacity. Deregulation of energy has lowered the investment in larger power plants, which means the need for new electrical power sources may be increased in the near future. In general, this paper discusses role of modern power electronics in small size wind energy and hybrid generating ...

The three approaches to too-many-solutions problems discussed in the previous chapter do not treat them as symptomatic of significant generalizations about input-output mappings rather than outputs. Because this systematic challenge to OT is not recognized, previous attacks on these problems, apart from de Lacy's general proposal, see them as an assortment of individual difficult cases and anal...

Research in several new topologies of Multilevel inverter(MLI) has been carried out rapidly day by day. Recently several topologies have been introduced achieving higher levels with reduced device couns and DC sources .In this paper a new hybrid symmetric MLI is proposed .This topology has reduced number of controlled switches, Dc sources and numbers of capacitors which are very less compared t...

Abstract: DC auxiliary systems are usually relied upon as the last source of reliable electric power at an installation of power plants and substations. Because DC auxiliary systems and battery power sources differ from AC systems, it is important that DC system protection designer is aware of their special considerations. In Standard IEC 61660-1 is given mathematical model for dynamics analysi...

The thermoelectric transfer difference of Thermal Converters (TCs) can be evaluated in both current mode and voltage mode, using a fast-reversed dc (FRDC) source. Some types of TCs show differences in the thermoelectric transfer difference between voltage and current mode as large as some parts in 10. In order to investigate the origin of the discrepancy, the change of the thermoelectric transf...

This study investigated the comparative effects of audio-visually prompted collaborative dialogue on the listening comprehension development of symmetrical, asymmetrical, and asymmetrical teacher-fronted EFL learner groups. Besides, it explored the attitude of the participants of the groups concerning the effectiveness of collaborative dialogue for their listening comprehension improvement. The...

An air-trenches/holes assisted depressed-core few-mode fiber (AT-AH-DC-FMF) that features some asymmetrical air trenches, holes and a depressed step-index core is proposed in this paper. The AT DC can produce great contribution separating the non-degenerated LP modes spatial modes, thus suppressing crosstalk efficiently. Based on AH, bending loss values of AT-AH-DC-FMF be satisfied with ITU-T r...
