One of the major problems in direct power-controlled grid-connected voltage source converters is that during dips, converter current increases to compensate for reduced grid voltage. The most common dips are unsymmetrical, and they cause unbalance distortion current. This paper introduces a new, simple but effective algorithm which limits dips. A positive-sequence virtual-flux based control sch...

We prepared a significant number of unsymmetrical liquid-crystalline dimers that exhibit the twist-bend nematic phase; a state of matter that exhibits spontaneous breaking of mirror symmetry and, for some materials, a microsecond electrooptic response. A number of novel unsymmetrical bimesogens were synthesized and in comparing their thermal behaviour to previous literature examples, we have un...

Modular multilevel converters (MMC) play a dominant role in integrating remotely located renewable energy resources (RER) over the high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission network. The fault ride-through capabilities of MMC-HVDC network during low-voltage faults and power fluctuation due to RER intermittency are major obstacles effective integration energy. In response, this article prop...

This paper starts with developing kinematic and dynamic model of a snake shape robot in serpentine locomotion and finishes with actual experimentation. At the beginning the symmetrical and unsymmetrical serpenoid curves are introduced. Kinematics and dynamics of a snake robot on flat and inclined surfaces are obtained for a general n-link robot. SimMechanics toolbox of MATLAB software is employ...

Experimental and theoretical rationalization on regioselective mixed diboration of alkenes, with the unsymmetrical diboron reagent Bpin-Bdan, providing the protecting Bdan moiety in the internal position.

1:1 and 1:2 lead(II) complexes with 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Dmphen), {[Pb(Dmphen)(NO3)n] and [Pb(Dmphen)2(ClO4)2]} have been synthesized and characterized by CHN elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and 207Pb NMR spectroscopy. The structure of these complexes was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The single crystal X-ray data of [Pb(Dmphen)(NO3)n] show the complex to be polymeric...

Unsymmetrical functionalised cyanine dyes, covering the whole colour range, were readily synthesised (in 100 mg amounts) by a combination of microwave and solid-phase methodologies.
