There are various solutions for improving existing overhead line systems with the general purpose of increasing their limited capacity. The capacity reserve of the existing overhead lines is an important problem that must be considered from different aspects. The paper contains a comparative analysis of the mechanical and thermal limitations of an existing overhead line based on certain calcula...

The use of the accurate classical relaxation-effect model for frequency dispersion in normal metals at room temperature with THz structures can be mathematically cumbersome and not insightful. Recent work has demonstrated that it is possible to dramatically simplify otherwise complex analysis and allows for a much deeper insight to be gained into the classical relaxationeffect model. This paper...

Abstract: Transmission-line transformers are circuits useful for microwave impedance matching applications due to their broad operating bandwidth. Multimode feed network is composed of two substructures, which are constituted by the transmission-line transformer. Beginning with the broadband transmission-line transformer with 4:1 impedance transformation, supposing the currents on the two lines...

Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) is a series compensating Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) controller for maintaining to the power flow control on a transmission line by injecting a voltage in quadrature with the line current and in series mode with the line. In this work, an Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System controller (ANFISC) has been proposed for controlling o...

background : the development of chemoresistance represents a major obstacle in the successful treatment of cancers such as non-hodgkin’s lymphoma (nhl). with the recognition of important roles for both p53 and its more recently described paralog p73 in mediating the activity of anti-cancer drugs, there has been increasing recognition that cellular resistance to anthracyclines could and does a...

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...

A transmission line model is adopted for the analysis of slot-coupled microstrip reflectarrays. The current on the equivalent impedance for the single radiating element is used to obtain the reflectarray phase design curve. Computational costs are drastically reduced with respect to theoretical full-wave analysis. Numerical and experimental validations are presented on the phase curve useful fo...

[1] The widely used transmission-line (TL) model of lightning return stroke in a vertical channel is most rigorously represented by a vertical phased array of current sources that produce a spherical transverse electromagnetic (TEM) wave in the case of return-stroke speed v equal to the speed of light c. If the radius of the lightning channel were equal to zero, the equivalent representation co...

Accurate analog models of power system components are required in order to realize an analog computation engine for power systems. Analog computation is an area of continued interest. Among the advantages over traditional digital methods are physically realizable solutions and faster computation times. This paper focuses on the design, simulation, and hardware verification of a static transmiss...
