We derive the instantaneous densities of electric energy and electric power dissipation in lossless and lossy dispersive media for a time-harmonic electric field. The instantaneous quantities are decomposed into DC and AC components, some of which are shown to be independent of the dispersion of dielectric constants. The AC component of the instantaneous energy density can be used to visualize ...

The study made in this paper concerns the use of the direct power control (DPC) technique and the fuzzy logic theory to control a pulse width modulation (PWM) rectifier. These strategies are used to eliminate harmonics currents and consequently to reduce total harmonic distortion (THD) of the line current and improve the power factor. The DPC principle is based on the control of instantaneous a...

Shunt active power filters (APFs) are used to address quality issues such as harmonic distortion and system imbalance. Many control systems for shunt APFs demand measurements of voltages currents the determination instantaneous real reactive signals. From these signals, reference APF calculated. A method that only measures is proposed in this paper. The includes a modified technique extract pos...

Wind power has been widely considered and utilized in recent years as one of the most promising renewable energy sources. In the current research study, aerodynamic analysis of the upwind three-bladed horizontal axis turbine is carried out using blade element momentum theory (BEM), and a genetic algorithm (GA) is applied as an optimization method. Output power generation is considered as an obj...

Estimation of time-varying motion parameters of moving objects is considered. The motion parameters are mapped into the instantaneous frequency (IF) of a frequency modulated (FM) signal. The IF estimation is obtained using the Wigner distribution (WD). Generalization in the case of multiple objects and reduced interference distributions is given. A new propagation approach is proposed for joint...

Wind power has been widely considered in recent years as an available and a clean renewable energy source. The cost of wind energy production is currently the main issue, and increasing the size of wind turbines can reduce wind energy production costs. Hence, megawatt wind turbines are being rapidly developed in recent years. In this paper, an aerodynamic analysis of the NREL 5MW turbine is...

Abstract: In recent years, the increasing penetration level of wind energy into power systems has brought new issues and challenges. One of the main concerns is the issue of dynamic response capability during outer disturbance conditions, especially the fault-tolerance capability during asymmetrical faults. In order to improve the fault-tolerance and dynamic response capability under asymmetric...

This paper presents an analysis of a Curzon and Alhborn thermal engine model where both internal irreversibilities and non-instantaneous adiabatic branches are considered, operating with maximum ecological function and maximum power output regimes. Its thermodynamic properties are shown, and an analysis of its local dynamic stability is performed. The results derived are compared throughout the...
