This paper focused on the development of capacitor voltage balancing methods in a flying capacitor multilevel inverter (FCMLI) fed induction motor drive. For improving the performance of flying capacitor multilevel inverter, a switching pattern selection scheme is implemented. The proposed method has been designed a seven-level flying capacitor multilevel inverter by using sinusoidal pulse widt...

This paper shows that a highly deformable capacitor made of a soft dielectric and two conformal electrodes can switch between two states discontinuously, by a first-order transition, as the total charge varies gradually. When the total charge is small, it spreads evenly over the area of the capacitor, and the capacitor deforms homogeneously. When the total charge is large, it localizes in a sma...

This paper presents novel planar dynamically reconfigurable double-stub tuners that utilize electrostatically activated microelectromechanical system (MEMS) switches. The tuners operate in the 10–20-GHz frequency range and have stubs that consist of a digital capacitor bank. Each bank has a predetermined number of capacitors that can be selected through the activation of appropriate MEMS switch...

This paper deals with the implementation of automatic power factor correction system using solid state switched capacitors and Arduino UNO controller. The main objectives are to reduce the line loss, to reduce reactive power flows on the line and to avoid switching surge overvoltage due to switching on/off the capacitors. This paper describes the design and simulation of power factor correction...

The problem of capacitor allocation for loss reduction in electric distribution systems has been extensively researched over the past several decades. This paper describes the evolution of the research and provides an evaluation of the practicality and accuracy of the capacitor placement algorithms in the literature. The intent of this paper is not to provide a complete survey of all the litera...

Generally uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is used to maintain a stable electric power supply to critical loads with high quality power protecting them against unexpected power failure. For example, medical facilities and data-storage computer systems require fast response, compensation and immediate availability of electrical power. Considerably affect these characteristics is energy storage...

A method to eliminate the effect of capacitor mismatch for a switched-capacitor DAC is described. The method consists of two elements. The first element is the use of a compensating switching algorithm, which can eliminate the effect of capacitor mismatch only for some digital input values. The second element is that each digital word is written as the sum of two other words for which the capac...

Many industrial installations in developing countries start-up as small factories, without regard for the need of compensation reactive power, leading to significant financial losses long term. By improving power factor, customer can reduce its demand and potentially increase efficiency their equipment. A PIC microcontroller is used switch capacitor banks compensate power. In order determine si...
