Choosing a bus protection scheme requires several key considerations. The complexity of bus protection varies considerably depending on such factors as the bus layout, allowed bus switching scenarios, availability of suitable current transformers (CTs), and maintenance issues. Buses with statically assigned zone currents are well suited for the use of high-impedance bus relaying (if suitable CT...

Automobile manufactures are persistently trying to develop comfort of passengers by improving different specification such as decrease of sound level in engine compartments. There is a main problem that the noise generated in air intake systems may be disgusting. Statistical energy analysis is a suitable method for acoustical- vibration analysis of structures in high frequency range. In this pa...

This paper proposes a vector-controlled distributed generator (DG) model for a power flow based on a three-phase current injection method (TCIM). In order to represent the DG models in the power flow, steady-state phase current output equations are formulated. Using these equations, the TCIM power flow formulation is modified to include the DG models. In the proposed power flow, a DG-connected ...

The choice and design of communication architecture are critical for SOC design. The communication architecture may heavily influence the overall performance, and also determines the salability of the whole system. Among several communication architectures proposed for SOCs, shared-bus has been widely used. Some doubts are cast on this approach today, as it is likely to be the bottleneck for th...

Unlike traditional AC distribution systems, protection has been challenging for DC systems. Multi-terminal DC power systems do not have the years of practical experience and standards that AC power systems have. Also, the current power electronic devices cannot survive or sustain high magnitude faults. Converters will shut down to protect themselves under faulted conditions. This makes locating...

Abstract: In order to increase the power rating of electric vehicles, insulated gate bipolar translator (IGBT) modules with multiple power terminals are usually adopted. The transient current sharing of the same polarity power terminals is related to the stray inductance in the branches of the bus-bar. Based on the laminated bus-bar of a three-phase inverter in the electric vehicles that consis...

This paper studies the fin thickness variation effect on a bus duct conductor’s thermal performance and nanocomposite coating method selection for heat sink. ANSYS FLUENT was used to create numerical model resembling experimental setup. The IEC 60439-1 60439-2 standards were benchmark data. results revealed that “chimney effect” induces an increment of hot air adjacent A conspicuous increase in...

In this research article we have proposed a new analog MPPT regulator with the high efficiency DC-DC converter for the efficient photovoltaic diesel hybrid energy systems. The MPPT regulator provides the control signal for the DC-DC converter and tracks the maximum power from the solar panel. In which here a logic truth table based perturbation and observation (P & O) algorithm used for the max...
