This paper analyzes necessity of synthesis control of power quality aiming at characteristics of traction power supply system for electrified railway. According to the fact that the existing power quality control, the measure and means were introduced, analyzed and compared in detailed. From reliability, technology and economy point, the project of synthesis Control was put forward on power qua...

Usually, harmonics are the base point when engineers start to analyze waveform distortion. Frequencies of these voltage and current waveforms are integer multipliers of the base frequency of power system (50 Hz or 60 Hz). If it is not the case then these are named as intermediate harmonics. The sinusoidal waveforms of voltage characterize the ideal power system with the highest clarity of base ...

[Purpose] Low back pain is a pervasive problem in modern societies. Physical rehabilitation in treatment of low back pain should reduce pain, muscle tension and restore spine stability and balance. The INFINITY® rehabilitation method that is based on a figure of eight movement pattern was proved to be effective in low back pain treatment. The aim of the paper is to estimate the effect of a figu...

The main purposes of the present work are devoted to the investigation of the free axial vibration, as well as the time-dependent and forced axial vibration of a SWCNT subjected to a moving load. The governing equation is derived through using Hamilton's principle. Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory has been utilized to analyze the nonlocal behaviors of SWCNT. A Galerkin method based on a clo...

A three-phase low-harmonic rectifier configuration is presented. For a large current variation load, the circuit designed to improve the waveform of the current drawn from the utility grid. Analytically obtained results are experimentally verified.

Transformers are normally designed and built for use at rated frequency and perfect sinusoidal load current. A non-linear load on a transformer leads to harmonic power losses which cause increased operational costs and additional heating in power system components. It leads to higher losses, early fatigue of insulation, premature failure and reduction of the useful life of the transformer. To p...
