Abstrac t In the paper a virtual instrument for power quality measurement and research is proposed. The instrument is divided in several modules which provide generation, measurement and recording of the typical power quality (PQ) disturbances such as: harmonics, voltage dips, interruptions, flicker, unbalance etc. The virtual instrument allows setting different measurement parameters which exp...

The research presented in this paper focuses on the impacts of fast-charging stations three power quality phenomena, namely voltage magnitude variations, unbalance, and fluctuation. Markov Chain Monte Carlo is proposed to estimate energy requirements each station when it utilized charge electric vehicles, considering their sto-chastic parameters such as battery capacities, state-of-charge level...

It is well known that the output power from small wind turbines (SWTs) fluctuates noticeably more when compared to other types of dispersed generators, such as residential photovoltaic (PV) generation systems. Thus, degradation voltage quality, flicker emissions, numerous SWTs are installed in a low-voltage distribution system particular concern. Nevertheless, practical examples emissions facil...

In patch-clamped membranes from neonatal rat cardiocytes, elementary Na+ currents were recorded at 19 degrees C for study of the inhibitory influence of several antiarrhythmic drugs including lidocaine, diprafenone, propafenone, and prajmalium on DPI-modified cardiac Na+ channels. Diprafenone (20 mumol/l) and lidocaine (300 mumol/l) induced a voltage- and time-dependent block of reconstructed m...

Herein, a novel wind power grid-connection system based on inductive filtering is proposed to improve compatibility, and implemented in 50-MW real system. First, the topology wiring configuration of are discussed. Thereafter, an equivalent circuit mathematical model established reveal characteristics resonance damping mechanism Finally, farm-based experimental study, which conducted validate ef...

The conductance activated in many mammalian CNS neurons by the glutamate analog NMDA is inhibited at hyperpolarized potentials by extracellular magnesium. Whole-cell recordings from hippocampal neurons in culture were used to determine the voltage dependence of the NMDA conductance in the presence of extracellular magnesium concentrations from 1 microM to 10 mM. The conductance-voltage data are...

Zero-IF receiver has some advantages, such as small factor, low cost and easily integrated on a chip. They make it competitive of RF receivers. However, DC Offset and flicker noise, etc., have profound effects in zero-IF receiver, which need not be considered in super-heterodyne receiver. Following a major study of flicker noise, possible solutions are given, especially those based on the passi...

In this paper, CMOS Sample-and-Hold (S/H) is presented. The S/H circuit is an important component in Analog-to-digital Converter (ADC). In low frequency application, the boost clock technique is used to constitute a rail-to-rail signal voltage with low distortion. The operational amplifier works as a unity gain buffer in the S/H circuit. However, a two-stage op-amp is proposed with enhanced low...

We proposed voltage-sourced converter (VSC) with Pulse-width modulation (PWM) provides a faster control that is required for flicker mitigation purpose. The voltage regulation in the distribution feeder is improved by installing a shunt compensator. The proposed DSTATCOM is modeled and its performance is simulated and verified for power factor correction and voltage regulation along with neutra...

Nowadays, the energy crisis has forced the need to recover the energy which is normally wasted in industrial processes. Gas pressure reducing process in city or power plant gas stations is one of these processes in which the energy is wasted. This work is done by turbo-expanders in parallel with gas regulating valves. In electrical industry, these devices drive generators to produce electrical ...
