Direct current (DC) residential distribution systems (RDS) consisting of DC living homes will be a significant integral part of future green transmission. Meanwhile, the increasing number of distributed resources and intelligent devices will change the power flow between the main grid and the demand side. The utilization of distributed generation (DG) requires an economic operation, stability, ...

Abstract. Japan Atomic Energy Agency as the JApan Domestic Agency (JADA) for ITER and the Domestic Agency of EU (EUDA) agreed the procurement sharing for the ITER NBI power supply system. The JADA contributes procurement of dc -1 MV ultra-high voltage (UHV) components such as a -1 MV dc generator, a transmission line and a -1 MV insulating transformer. The dc UHV insulation has been carefully a...

DC residential distribution system (RDS) consisted by DC living home will be a significant integral part in the future green transmission. Meanwhile, the increasing number of distributed resources and intelligent devices will change the power flow between main grid and demand sides. The utilization of distributed generations (DGs) requires an economic operation, stability, environmentally frien...

The hybrid AC-DC microgrid (HMG) architecture has the merits of both DC and AC coupled structures. Microgrids are subject to intermittence when the renewable sources are used. In the HMG, since power fluctuations occur on both subgrids due to varying load and unpredictable power generation from renewable sources, proper voltage and frequency regulation is the critical issue. This article propos...

High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) systems offer distinct advantages for the integration of offshore wind farms to inland grid system. HVDC transmission system based on Voltage Source Converter (VSC) enables multi-terminal use HVDC for the integration of large-scale wind power in the North Sea. That network requires a special formulation for power flow analysis as opposed to the conventional me...

In this paper, several optimum structures of a cascaded multilevel inverter is proposed. This optimization is based on generation a constant number of output voltage levels by using minimum number of power switches or dc voltage sources or minimum amount of blocked voltage by power switches. In addition, the optimum structure for a constant number of dc voltage sources by using minimum number o...

Recently, there has been a fast development and deployment of wind energy to meet the increasing electrical power demand and to limit the use of fossil fuels. More and more wind farms are planned far from shore because of good wind condition and less visual impact. This is so called offshore wind farm (OWF). In such a situation, high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission is a favorable opt...

With the introduction of competition in the existing electrical market, it becomes necessary to enhance the transmission capacity of the power system through the existing transmission lines. The utilization of FACTS technologies can have significant impact on power system reliability. Low cost and feasibly better improvement can be achieved by using power electronics based devices in the system...

ISSN 2277 5080 | © 2012 Bonfring Abstract--In this paper, a modified form of rectenna has been designed for wireless power transmission. Generally, rectenna is nothing but a rectifying antenna which is very much useful for converting RF power into usable DC power. The word ‘rectenna’ was first introduced by W.C.Brown. Even though there is an enormous application of rectenna, wireless transmissi...

This paper deals with the modified wireless power transmission system for biomedical implanted devices. The system consists of efficient class-E power amplifier and inductive power links based on spiral circular transmitter and receiver coils. The model of the class-E power amplifier operated with 13.56 MHz is designed, discussed and analyzed in which it is achieved 87.2% of efficiency. The ind...
