Load modelling is a perennial source of consternation. Postmortem analyses of disturbances frequently conclude that load models must be adjusted to achieve an adequate match between measured and simulated behaviour. However the development of load models that are accurate over a wide range of system conditions requires, 1) testing that is undesirable for customers, and/or 2) measurement of beha...

A method of digital sound synthesis, double frequency modulation (DFM), is defined in terms of two modulating frequencies. Its spectral equation is derived and the harmonic spacing shown to be dependent on the ratio of the two frequencies. The real-time generation of musical sounds by DFM is demonstrated. DFM offers superior control of harmonic envelopes than simple FM, but with less computatio...

An advanced single-phase active power filter for the compensation of instantaneous harmonic components in nonlinear load current is presented in this paper. A novel signal processing technique using adaptive neural network algorithm is applied and evaluated for the on-line detection of instantaneous harmonic current components generated by nonlinear loads And the feasibility of this adaptive ne...

With consideration to importance of power quality in power systems especially in distribution systems and with increasing application of electronic devices which have higher sensitivity to fed powers quality, in this paper voltage profile in distribution systems has been surveyed. Improvement of voltage profile via injection of reactive power has been depicted. Presence of loads which is genera...

This paper presents a novel three-phase four-wire low power rating flexible hybrid active filter with a power factor, harmonic and neutral currents capability for distribution systems. The passive filter is tuned to compensate the two largest harmonics components and the power factor of the load. A selective algorithm is employed in order to enable the active filter to compensate only the desir...

Utility of non-linear load leads to generation of harmonics in industry which is affecting the power quality as well as performance of devices like motors and controllers etc. Harmonic Measurement and analysis to obtain the harmonic content of current and voltage has become vital task in context with increasing power quality. This paper discusses the effect of harmonics on power system and the ...

In this paper, the nonlinear vibration of functionally graded (FGM) cylindrical shells subjected to radial harmonic excitation is investigated. The nonlinear formulation is based on a Donnell’s nonlinear shallow-shell theory, in which the geometric nonlinearity takes the form of von Karman strains. The Lagrange equations of motion were obtained by an energy approach. In order to reduce the syst...

This study targets the behavior of shear buildings equipped with tuned liquid column dampers (TLCD) which attenuate dynamic load-induced vibrations. TLCDs are a passive damping system used in tall buildings. This kind of damper has proven to be very efficient, being an excellent alternative to mass dampers. A dynamic analysis of the structure-damper system was made using the software DynaPy, de...

Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) are now well recognized as potential materials for structural control. The optimised integration of some SMA devices in a mechanical structure for passive structural damping requires a predictable modelling. At first experimental and numerical studies have been performed on a CuAlBe beam under harmonic flexion, leading to a qualitative modelling based on the material t...
