This paper demonstrates an enhancement of power quality in grid integrated systems with the help of the proposed control strategy for voltage source converter based active power filters. The Shunt Active Power filters (SAPF) are extensively utilized in modern grid integrated systems to diminish the power quality concerns associated with it. The SAPF is one of the various power filters, which ha...

Abstract: In this paper, a new topology is developed for a three-phase four-wire (3P4W) distribution system utilizing a zig-zag transformer along with three-phase threewire (3P3W) Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC).In this proposed topology the neutral point of the star connected transformer, used for the connection of series active power filter (APF) of 3P3W UPQC, is utilized as a fourth...

on the source of plasma density and electric field perturbations in pmse and pmwe regionspolar mesospheric summer/winter echoes (pmse/pmwe) are very strong radar echoes produced by ionospheric electron density fluctuations at half the radar wavelength. the main focus of this paper is the altitude range 80 to 90 km in summer and altitude range 65-86 km in winter in the polar mesosphere . this pa...

this work reports the results of the application of the second-order maccormack method for numerical solution of‎ the conservative form of two-dimensional non-hydrostatic and fully compressible navier-stokes equations governing an inviscid and adiabatic atmosphere‎. various aspects of the computational approach such as discretization of the governing equations for the interior and boundary poin...

We study a single-product setting in which a firm can source from two suppliers, one that is unreliable and another that is reliable but more expensive. Suppliers are capacity-constrained, but the reliable supplier may possess volume flexibility. We prove that in the special case in which the reliable supplier has no flexibility and the unreliable supplier has infinite capacity, a risk-neutral ...

Abstract— In this paper, an H∞ current controller is proposed to maintain a balanced neutral point for a three-phase fourwire inverter, which can be used in microgrid applications. The neutral-point circuit consists of a conventional neutral leg and a split DC link. The neutral point is balanced with respect to the two DC source terminals (as required, e.g., in neutral-pointclamped three-level ...

Abstract: The risks of alternating current (AC) corrosion and overprotection increasingly demand new criteria forcathodically protected pipelines. To assess the risk of AC corrosion, new cathodic protection (CP) criteria have beenproposed based on DC/AC current densities measurements using coupons. The monitoring system designed for thisproject was based on the instant-off method, with steel co...
