Active filtering of electric power has now become a mature technology for harmonic and reactive power compensation in two-wire (single phase), three-wire (three phase without neutral), and four-wire (three phase with neutral) ac power networks with nonlinear loads. This paper presents a comprehensive review of active filter (AF) configurations, control strategies, selection of components, other...

In the radio – host galaxy optical luminosity plane FR I and FR II radio–galaxies are clearly divided. Since the optical luminosity of an elliptical galaxy is an indication of the mass of its central black hole, we propose that the FR I–FR II dividing luminosity is a function of the mass of the black hole powering the active nucleus. Furthermore, as the radio power gives an estimate of the tota...

The luminous electromagnetic emission from distant active galactic nuclei (AGNs) including quasars is believed to be powered by accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs). In the standard unification model for AGNs a dusty torus covers a significant portion of the viewing angles to the accretion disk and the BH. The system is classified as a type-I AGN if the accretion disk is viewed throu...

In this paper a transformerless Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) to increase the power capacity of a 230 kV transmission line is proposed. In order to eliminate the transformer, a 15-level cascade H Bridge (CHB) inverter is employed within the proposed compensator structure to inject reactive power to the transmission line. The theory of instantaneous p-q power using in the compensa...

The deployment of renewable energy in power systems may raise serious voltage instabilities. Electric vehicles (EVs), owing to their mobility and flexibility characteristics, can provide various ancillary services including active reactive power. However, the distributed control EVs under such scenarios is a complex decision-making problem with enormous dynamics uncertainties. Most existing lit...

A DC–DC switching converter chip is proposed to generate both positive and negative voltages for active-matrix LCD (AMLCD) bias. An inductive boost converter and two inverting charge pumps are integrated in a proposed chip by using a 0.5 mm 5 V, 3.5 mm 30 V CMOS process. A conventional scheme used to bias AMLCD employs a switching-boost converter with several off-chip components to generate the...
