The authors hope to contribute with this paper towards methodologies that will help to measure results of Community Based Rehabilitation programmes.

A New Configuration for Power Sharing of Two Z-Source Inverters

This paper presents a new structure to provide the ability for power sharing of two Z-source inverters. According to the operation principles of Z-source inverters, only one input source supplies the circuit, which is a limitation particularly for the stand alone systems feeded by limited output power such as photovoltaics and feul cells. Furthermore; if one source fails to supply,  the lo...

Previously, the prime modus operandi of the musician had been: "if you can't play the piece -practice. If you still can't play it -then practice some more!"
