Power system transient can cause serious damage to main power system apparatus and sensitive loads. There are many causes of power system transient including capacitor bank switching, switching of large inductive loads and lightning. This paper discusses the application of pattern recognition method, namely Support Vector Machine (SVM) to classify the cause of transient disturbance in power sys...

This work reports the effect of Ti diffusion on the bipolar resistive switching in Au/BiFeO3/Pt/Ti capacitor-like structures. Polycrystalline BiFeO3 thin films are deposited by pulsed laser deposition at different temperatures on Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrates. From the energy filtered transmission electron microscopy and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry it is observed that Ti diffusion occurs ...

A family of two reactive-power compensator circuit is presented. A general model of some basic linear elements and switching function blocks is developed first. Then the two proposed compensator circuits are derived from the generalised model. The proposed circuits are capable of supplying leading as well as lagging reactive currents in stepless variation without using an inverter configuration...

Abstract : This paper proposed a new high-voltage gain resonant switched-capacitor dc-dc converter for high-power offshore wind energy systems. The proposed new dc-dc converter is characterized by the resonant switching transitions to achieve minimal switching losses and maximum system effi ciency. Here, the converter operates at fi fteen times as high as the input voltage with a small device c...

A Ta/TaOx/Pt stacked capacitor-like device for resistive switching was fabricated and examined. The tested device demonstrated stable resistive switching characteristics including uniform distribution of resistive switching operational parameters, highly promising endurance, and retention properties. To reveal the resistive switching mechanism of the device, micro structure analysis using high-...

For a primary substation (P/S), there are many typical methods to control voltage and reactive power such as adjusting the generator mode, switching shunt capacitor (SC), adjusting on-load tap changer (OLTC), and switching shunt reactor (SR). In this study, a graphical user interface (GUI) is designed combining with nine-area diagram to observe the relationship between voltage and reactive powe...

This paper presents a high step up DC-DC converter to boost low voltage PV system voltage. The switched capacitor converter can obtain a high voltage gain but the line and load regulation is poor and the output voltage is not regulated. The output regulation of the non isolated switching mode DC-DC converter is excellent but the voltage gain cannot be too high.A combination method of the SC con...

Abstract This work presents the design space exploration of a boost switching power converter focused on its monolithic implementation. An analysis in terms of the models of its main circuit elements (switching transistors, inductor, and capacitor) is described. The figure of merit is defined taking into account output voltage ripple, power efficiency, and occupied die area as performance index...

Dielectric properties of an organic material, which shows conductance switching with associated memory phenomenon, have been studied. The devices have been modeled as a parallel combination of a resistor and a capacitor. During conductance switching, devices resistive and capacitive properties have been found to change. Multilevel conductivity, which is due to different density of high-conducti...

This paper presents a 12b 180 MS/s partial-interleaving Pipelined-SAR analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The 1st-stage is implemented with a 2b/cycle SAR ADC for high speed, where we propose a merged-residue-DAC technique to improve the noise performance. The capacitor pre-charging in conventional 2b/cycle operation wastes settling time and switching energy, while with this design approach the ...
