this paper presents a control strategy for fuel cell/energy storage power generation system during voltage sag conditions. the hybrid dc power sources are connected to grid using power electronic converters include dc-dc converter and grid connected voltage source inverter. the power from hybrid power sources is controlled during voltage sag by designing of control strategy for dc-dc converter....

abstract: one the most important problems in recent sensitive loads is the quality of voltage. for this challenge custom power devices are used in distribution systems. dynamic voltage restorer (dvr) is a custom power device that improves voltage, decrease power distortion, filter harmonics and balance distributed generations (dgs) with low voltage distribution system. in this paper, a new algo...

electric arc furnace (eaf) is one of the largest loads in electric power systems. it is highly time varying and nonlinear. its reactive power variations cause voltage fluctuations in nearby system which is known as flicker. on the other hand the nonlinear voltage-current characteristic causes strong voltage and current harmonics in eaf. to this end flexible ac transmission systems (facts) techn...

Caches are known to consume a large part of total microprocessor power. Traditionally, voltage scaling has been used to reduce both dynamic and leakage power in caches. However, aggressive voltage reduction causes process-variation-induced failures in cache SRAM arrays, which compromise cache reliability. In this paper, we propose Flexible Fault-Tolerant Cache (FFT-Cache) that uses a flexible d...

A digital CMOS buffer circuit with a voltage transfer characteristic (VTC) with low threshold voltage detection, hysteresis, and high noise immunity is presented. The circuit is capable of restoring slow transition times and distorted input signals with a minimum delay penalty, offering at the same time high noise immunity to glitches induced either through capacitive coupling or from the power...

Nowadays, using distributed generation (DG) resources, such as wind and solar, also improving the voltage profile in distribution companies has been considered. As optimal placement and sizing of shunt capacitors become more prevalent, utilities want to determine the impact of the various capacitors placement in distribution systems. Locating and determining the optimal capacity of shunt capaci...

Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is one of the most common hematologic malignancies, accounting for one fourth of all childhood cancer cases. Exposure to environmental factors around the time of conception or pregnancy can increase the risk of ALL in the offspring.This study aimed to evaluted the role of prenatal and postnatal exposure to high voltage power lines on the incidence of...

In this formulation, the objective function and operating constraints include the corona power-loss term. The objective function consists of three terms: cost of investment of new transmission lines, ohmic power loss of new and existing lines, and corona-power loss of new lines. This combination of terms results in a non-linear objective function. The non-linear programming or the non-convex op...

although many mathematics-based and heuristic approaches have been recently developed on optimally allocation of tcscs for lines overloads reduction and buses voltage stability enhancement during fault conditions, the works on the tcscs efficiency to achieve the abovementioned goals are rare. this idea that tcscs can surely enhance the system’s security must be comprehensively investigated. in ...
