Power Factor Correction (PFC) provides well-known benefits to electric power systems. These benefits include power factor correction, poor power factor penalty utility bill reductions, voltage support, release of system capacity, and reduced system losses. The performance of fuzzy logic controller only depends on the selection of membership function and Inference of fuzzy rules, fuzzy logic con...

This project proposes a new AC-DC bridgeless CUK rectifier. The new bridgeless single-phase AC–DC power factor correction (PFC) rectifiers based on CUK topology are proposed. The absence of an input diode bridge and the presence of only two semiconductor switches in the current flowing path during each interval of the switching cycle result in less conduction losses compared to the conventional...

factor  is introduced for direct head loss calculation and sizing in dual-diameter laterals of sprinkler and trickle irrigation systems when the hazen-williams equation is to be applied. application of this factor prevents trial and error and uses fewer head-loss equations in calculating the total friction loss and designing dual-diameter laterals. the proposed factor is a function of total num...

the diagnostic accuracy of single photon emission computed tomography (spect) is profoundly influenced by attenuation phenomenon. soft tissue attenuation degrades cardiac spect image quality, thereby decreasing the possibility of the detection of the lesions. a variety of correction techniques based on different assumptions have been used to reduce the impact of attenuation. several types of sy...

This paper is based on the bridgeless single-phase Ac– Dc Power Factor Correction (PFC) converters with Fuzzy Logic Controller. High frequency isolated Cuk converters are used as a modular dc-dc converter in Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) of operation of Power Factor Correction. The aim of this paper is to simplify the program complexity of the controller by reducing the number of fuzzy se...

Backscattered rf signals used to construct conventional ultrasound B-mode images contain frequency-dependent information that can be examined through the backscattered power spectrum. The backscattered power spectrum is found by taking the magnitude squared of the Fourier transform of a gated time segment corresponding to a region in the scattering volume. When a time segment is gated, the edge...

This paper deals with the implementation of automatic power factor correction system using solid state switched capacitors and Arduino UNO controller. The main objectives are to reduce the line loss, to reduce reactive power flows on the line and to avoid switching surge overvoltage due to switching on/off the capacitors. This paper describes the design and simulation of power factor correction...

Although improving the power-supply power factor (PF) can offer significant and necessary reductions in distribution losses, it is usually assumed that adding an active power-factor correction (PFC) stage will reduce the supply’s internal efficiency. It doesn’t have to be this way. This topic shows that several new system architectures are possible that can minimize system losses, accommodate a...
