In this paper a hybrid active DC line conditioner for fluctuations and ripples reduction in voltage and current of DC power systems is proposed. Malfunctions in operation of equipments and systems which are supplied by low quality distribution power systems are one of the main effects of DC voltage ripple. In the proposed configuration a hybrid system including series and shunt active line ...

This paper proposes a method for extending the ability of rotary power flow controller (RPFC) using tap-changer of the RPFC’s transformers. A detailed model of the device is presented to analyze the effects of the tap changer operation on the performance of the RPFC. To evaluate the results, the RPFC model is simulated using PSCAD/EMTDC software. Dynamic operation of the RPFC on a 400 kV transm...

Power-line communications (PLC) are employed in home networking as an easy way to provide highthroughput connectivity. IEEE 1901 [3] is the dominant MAC protocol for power-line networks, and its most popular implementation is HomePlug AV. This technical report introduces guidelines for measurements in HomePlug AV testbeds. We describe two tools that manage and configure PLC devices. These tools...
