This paper describes the design and implementation of an experimental electric power system to replace a gasoline system of a 30-feet unmanned autonomous blimp. The project was motivated by limitations and inefficiencies of the gasoline system. Autonomous flight requires extended duration flight and maneuvering capabilities that can be realized with an electric power system. In order to fully e...

In this paper is presented the development of a smart batteries charger for Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs), aiming their integration in Smart Grids. The batteries charging process is controlled by an appropriate control algorithm, aiming to preserve the batteries lifespan. The main features of the equipment are the mitigation of the power quality degradatio...

More electric aircraft referred to as the general move in the aerospace industry to increase the amount of electrically powered equipment on future aircraft. One of the most important kind of electric loads of the future more electric aircraft is the aircraft electric actuator but its power characteristics possesses rapidly varying nature in the wider range and constant power nature in the smal...

The proliferation of nonlinear electronic loads is increasing day by day, and it can anticipate an influx of newer technologies in this domain in the future. This article focuses on the impacts of various home nonlinear electric equipment on the power quality of electrical distribution system. It was studied the influence of operating mode on the harmonic pollution generated by nonlinear home a...

Electric power is the mainstay of a nation’s economy and the lifeline of industrial production and social life. All parameters of an electric grid, especially harmonic parameters, are related to the quality of electricity generated, which guarantees safe operation of electric equipment. Therefore, this design combines a web-based electric grid parameter measurement system with a video-monitorin...
