Voltage sags are one of major concerns in power quality, as they cause serious malfunction of a large number of apparatuses. There are a number of reasons for voltage sags in distribution networks: there is some evidence, however, that in electrical system ...
Nonlinear devices, such as power electronics converters, inject harmonic currents in the AC system and increase overall reactive power demanded by the equivalent load. Also, the number of sensitive loads that require ideal sinusoidal supply voltages for th ...
In recent years, power variations and energy criteria have been the main motivations for developing regenerative drive converters for elevators [1]. A more performant solution for power-smoothing can be easily found by using a supercapacitor based storage ...
Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) are systems based on power electronics using GTO or IGCT semiconductors [1] that allow a better use of the transfer capacities of the transmission lines and permit to satisfy the requirements due to the liberalizati ...
A comparative analysis of the spatial and temporal characteristics of transient energy loads (ELMs and disruptions) on plasma facing components (PFCs) in present tokamak devices and their extrapolation to next step devices is presented. Type I ELMs lead to ...
A combined analytical and FEM method for prediction of the no-load voltage waveform of laminated salient pole synchronous generators is presented in this article. Very precise prediction of the no-load voltage, including saturation effects as well as the e ...
Hybrid asymmetric multi-level inverters promise significant improvements for medium-voltage industrial drives. Floating sub inverters without feeding can only supply reactive power. An on-line non-linear model-predictive controller stabilizes their interme ...
While most of the emphasis has been focused on the radiated threat represented by intentional electromagnetic interference, it is clear that the threat from conducted disturbances should not be neglected. Conducted threats include those that are produced b ...
