This paper compares the performance of diode clamped three level inverter based STATCOM with sinusoidal and space vector PWM techniques. Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) technique is the most advantageous technique than the conventional sinusoidal PWM technique for a multilevel inverter. The space vector pulse width modulation technique is an advanced, computation-intensive PWM metho...

This paper presents a performance of the canonical switching cell (CSC) converter fed brushless DC (BLDC) motor drive for power quality (PQ) improvement. The use of CSC not only controlled the DC link voltage but also make the inverter to operate at low frequency so that switching losses are minimized. Moreover the use of front end CSC improves the power factor at AC mains. The system needs onl...

Here we report the growth of novel transition metal-organic thin-film materials consisting of manganese or cobalt as the metal component and terephthalate as the rigid organic backbone. The hybrid thin films are deposited by the currently strongly emerging atomic/molecular layer deposition (ALD/MLD) technique using the combination of a metal β-diketonate, i.e. Mn(thd)3, Co(acac)3 or Co(thd)2, a...

Harmonics in power distribution system are current or voltage that are integer multiples of fundamental frequency. For example if the fundamental frequency 50 Hz, then the 2-nd harmonics is 100Hz, the 3-rd is 150Hz, etc. A pure voltage or current sine wave has no distortion and no harmonics but non sinusoidal wave has distortion and harmonics. To quantify the distortion, the term total harmonic...

The paper demonstrates virtual instrument software that enables performing simple and fast testing and metrological characterisation of any PC sound card in waveform recorder applications. In addition to the visualisation of recorded signal patterns in time and spectral domain, the software directly computes a variety of basic metrological parameters of input analogue channels e.g. effective nu...

A novel lOOMHz CMOS G,-C seventh-order 0.05" equiripple linear phase low-pass multiple loop feedback (MLF) filter based on the Leapfrog (LF) topology is presented. The filter is implemented using a fully-differential linear, high performance operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) based on crosscoupled pairs. PSpice simulations in a standard TSMC 0.25pm CMOS process and with a single 5V po...

At present scenario, renewable energy sources are needed to meet the energy demand. They also mitigate environment pollution problems. The shortage of electrical energy demand can be meeting with renewable energy resources. A wind turbine (WT) and photovoltaic (PV) solar panels are primary energy sources. Grid connected renewable energy source like wind energy and solar energy are used to conne...

INTRODUCTION Surgical treatment for hemorrhoids should be indicated individually and is based on the predominant symptom (bleeding or prolapse), severity of disease and the presence or absence of external component (plicoma). Surgeons must choose among varied techniques the one suitable for each case. TECHNIC The THD procedure consists of Doppler guided high ligation, selective to up six subm...

In the present article, the effects of a non-linear load under balanced conditions on the rating of a transformer are analysed. Non-linear loads are related to temperature increases in a transformer, which lead to deterioration and reduction of lifetime. Due to the unwanted effects of harmonic components in non-linear loads, the load connected to the transformer should be reduced. In other word...

This work investigates the ways that Automatic Gain Control (AGC) operation can be modified to minimise the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) losses in the presence of a Continuous-Wave (CW) interferer for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers. It was found that the recommendations based on analysis of a probabilistic model of a Direct Sequence Pseudorandom Noise (DSPN) receiver reporte...
