In this paper, various novel pulse width modulation techniques are proposed, which can minimize the total harmonic distortion and enhances the output voltages from five level inverter to multilevel topologies. Multilevel inverters are important for power electronics applications such as flexible ac transmission systems, renewable energy sources, uninterruptible power supplies and active power f...

We demonstrate experimentally a rare phenomenon that the width of an electrical response is shorter than that of the excitation laser. In this work, generation of an ultrashort electrical pulse is by a semi-insulating GaAs photoconductive semiconductor switch (PCSS) and the generated electrical pulse width is shorter than that of the excitation laser from diode laser. When the pulse width and e...

Ultra-short gamma ray pulses of the picosecond and femtosecond range can be generated using laser Compton scattering with 90-degree collisions at the UVSOR-II electron storage ring. Measurement techniques for a gamma ray pulse width in the sub-picosecond to picosecond range are being developed. As the first stage of the development, we tested a pulse width measuring method for the gamma ray pul...

This paper presents the sound art installation Doppelgänger. In Doppelgänger, we combine an artistic concept on a large scale with a high degree of control over timbre and dynamics. This puts great demands on the technical aspects of the work. The installation consists of seven 3.5 meters-tall objects weighing a total of 1500 kilos. Doppelgänger transfers one soundscape into another using audio...

We show both analytically and numerically that photons from a probe pulse are not stored in several recent experiments. Rather, they are absorbed to produce a two-photon excitation. More importantly, when an identical coupling pulse is re-injected into the medium, we show that the regenerated optical field has a pulse width that is very different from the original probe field. It is therefore, ...

This Paper Presents a comparative study of Constant Switching frequency Multicarrier Pulse width Modulation and Variable Switching frequency Multicarrier Pulse width Modulation. The emergence of Multilevel converter has been in increase since the last decade . These new type of converters are suitable in high voltage & high power application due to their ability to synthesize waveforms with bet...

With the advances in semi-conductor devices, adjustable speed drives (ASDs) have become more prevalent than ever before in industrial and commercial processes. Many facilities are installing ASDs to improve the efficiency of their processes and to increase the control of their processes. While the effects of ASDs on the power system are well known, many engineers and systems integrators are not...
