Railway traction is a more stochastic heavy load connected system. Due to the usage of ac-dc converters and ac-ac converters, the various power quality issues become the major problems in the electric system. This paper presents a review on power quality conditioners suitable for Railway traction based on the configuration, components involved and on the technical and economic considerations. M...

Absfrncf We propose a scheme for expanding switch modules to form a larger switch using the so-called focnl switching obtained by allowing bidirectional connection to the conventional three-stage Clos network switch. The performance of the proposed expansion architecture was compared to that of the conventional three-stage Clos network. We simulated 32x32 switching systems using two expansion a...

with the development of deregulated power systems and increase of prices in some hours of day and increase fuel price, demand response programs were noticed more by customers. demand response consists of a series of activities that governments or utilities design to change the amount or time of electric energy consumption, to achieve better social welfare or some times for maximizing the benefi...

OBJECTIVE To study the expression status of caveolin-1, caveolin-2 and caveolin-3 in the epithelial and stromal compartments of conventional papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), diffuse sclerosing variant of papillary carcinoma (DSVPC) and anaplastic carcinoma (AC). METHODS Tissue microarrays were constructed from 70 PTC, 41 DSVPC and 12 AC, and immunohistochemical stains were performed with ca...

Abstract The membrane current $$I_m$$ I m of the Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) cardiac Purkinje fiber (CPF) model is usually calculated as direct (DC). In this paper, a conventional alternating (AC) used, namely $$I_{AC} = \textrm{Asin}(2 \pi ft)$$ AC ...

Among structured Peer-to-Peer systems, Chord has a general popularity due to its salient features like simplicity, high scalability, small path length with respect to network size, and flexibility on node join and departure. However, Chord doesn’t take into account the topology of underlying physical network when a new node is being added to the system, thus resulting in high routing late...

Acetylated-low density lipoprotein (Ac-LDL) is taken up by macrophages and endothelial cells via the "scavenger cell pathway" of LDL metabolism. In this report, aortic and microvascular endothelial cells internalized and degraded 7-15 times more [125I]-Ac-LDL than did smooth muscle cells or pericytes. Bound [125I]-Ac-LDL was displaced by unlabeled Ac-LDL, but not unmodified LDL. The ability to ...

The proposed paper presents the DC/AC microgrid modeling using the Energy storage units and photovoltaic (PV) panels. The modal consists of a two stage power conversion. The power is supplied to the both DC and AC loads by this PV solar panels. The suitable way to explore the PV generation model is by using manufacturer datasheet. A bidirectional converter is connected to the battery storage sy...

The current fault diagnosis methods based on conventional BP neural network and RBF neural network exist long training time, slow convergence speed and low judgment accuracy rate and so on. In order to improve the ability of fault diagnosis, this paper puts forward a kind of fault diagnosis method based on RBF Neural Network improved by PSO algorithm. By using particle swarm algorithm’s heurist...

The presented paper deals with the implementation of the Switching Table Based Direct Torque Control (ST-DTC) in the matrix converter-fed induction motor drive. In order to improve the control of the matrix converter input power factor, the use of the simplified Indirect Space Vector Modulation (ISVM) was proposed. To verify the feasibility of the proposed solution, experimental results were pr...
