Environmental protection has become an increasing concern, which makes recycling and reclaiming highly important. In addition to governmental campaigns and promotion, enterprises should examine each perspective thoroughly in order to prevent excessive resource consumption. In this study, recycled materials, including recycled far-infrared polyester (FPET) fiber, three-dimensional crimped hollow...

In the proposed work, authors have applied swarm intelligence based algorithms for the effective Co-ordination of Flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) devices with other existing Var sources present in the network. IEEE 30 and IEEE 57 bus systems are taken as standard test systems. SPSO (Simple Particle Swarm Optimization) and other two swarm based intelligence approaches like APSO (Adaptive...

⎯With the improvement of high temperature superconductor (HTS) practical performance, research and development concerning the applications of HTS transformers have been progressed actively worldwide. This paper provides a comprehensive summary on various HTS transformers, and studies the design of a single-phase 10 kVA (220V/24V) HTS transformer prototype to verify HTS for practical transformer...

In this paper, a new approach to build a dual-band impedance transformer is presented. The transformer can handle impedances that are complex and vary with frequency. This transformer contains a Pi-section structure, which can be equivalent to having two different electrical lengths at the two operating frequencies. One of the electrical lengths serves as complementary angle of the other. In th...

This paper presents a new approach for classifying transient phenomena in power transformers, which may be implemented in digital relaying for transformer differential protection. Discrimination of various operating conditions of the power transformer is achieved by combining wavelet transform with Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference system (ANFIS). The wavelet transform is applied for the analysis ...

With preliminary applying of Electronic Transformer (ET) based on IEC 61850 standards in power grid, the calibrations of tested transformers have attracted extensive research attention. This study proposes a novel Calibration System of ET (CSET) based on high-accuracy card. Data acquisition of ET and Standard Trans-former (ST) is gotten by optic Ethernet and PCI-4462 data acquisition card, resp...

The selection of power transformer is very important to power sector. Most methods are utilized according to the initial cost and don’t consider the synthetical evaluation of economy and technology. Based on previous research, this paper addresses a new practical probabilistic life cycle cost model. Then, in order to demonstrate the practicability of probabilistic life cycle cost for the power ...

This project presents reactive power compensation in a distribution power system. DSTATCOM (distribution static compensator) is a reactive power compensator for power quality improvement in a three phase four wire distribution system. A voltage source converter (VSC) based DSTATCOM with a zig-zag transformer is used for the compensation of reactive power for voltage regulation along with load b...

With increasing drive to shrink electronic solutions, the merits of resonant power converters are now attracting increased attention among power supply engineers. This will especially affect the LCD TV 80PLUS Silver or the more recent 85PLUS ATX power supplies segment, where there is more and more pressure to shift towards higher switching frequencies in an attempt to reduce the physical size a...

A new approach for power combining several low-voltage CMOS amplifiers using a new on-chip transmission line transformer structure is presented. The power combiner utilises the interconnection of short sections of integrated differential lines and has an efficiency independent of the transformation ratio. Full-wave electromagnetic simulation confirms the operation and low insertion loss of the ...
