This study aims to derive simple formulas for calculating the accurate Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of Multilevel Inverter (MLIs), that considers all low and high order harmonics, for single phase and three phase MLIs., since the THD is a main criterion when judging the performance of a MLI. In addition, a formula for the percentage route mean square value of high order harmonics %VHOrms is ...

We report a new method for identifying disulfide linkages in peptides using mass spectrometry. This is accomplished by collisional activation of singly charged cationic alkali and alkaline earth metal complexes, which results in the highly selective elimination of hydrogen disulfide (H2S2). Complexes of peptides possessing disulfide bonds with sodium and alkaline earth metal are generated using...

One promising technology to interface battery packs in electric and hybrid electric vehicles is the multilevel converter. In the work presented here, it is shown how the switching times (angles) in a multilevel inverter can be chosen to achieve a required fundamental voltage and not generate specific higher order harmonics. The method gives a complete solution to the problem in that all possibl...

Nowadays with increasing use of numerous nonlinear loads, voltage and current harmonics in power systems are one of the most important problems power engineers encounter. Many of these nonlinear loads, because of their dynamic natures, inject time-varying harmonics into power system. Common techniques applied for harmonics measurement and assessment such as FFT have significant errors in presen...
