The proposed system presents power-control strategies of a grid-connected hybrid generation system with versatile power transfer. This hybrid system allows maximum utilization of freely available renewable energy sources like wind and photovoltaic energies. For this, an adaptive MPPT algorithm along with standard perturbs and observes method will be used for the system. Also, this configuration...

We use a 2D drift-diffusion model to study the nonlinear response of a partially depleted absorber (PDA) phododetector. The model includes external loading, incomplete ionization, the Franz-Keldysh effect, and history-dependent impact ionization. It also takes into account heat flow in the device. With all these effects included, we obtain excellent agreement with experiments for the responsivi...

This paper reports the results of an experimental investigation into the characteristics and effects of a PWM inverter on the power supply and overall performance of a capacity controlled refrigeration system employing a positive displacement compressor. The results indicate that the efficiency of variable speed refrigeration systems at part load is severely affected by the poor performance of ...

In this paper, a new approach is proposed for voltage and current harmonics compensation in grid-connected microgrids (MGs). If sensitive loads are connected to the point of common coupling (PCC), compensation is carried out in order to reduce PCC voltage harmonics. In absence of sensitive loads at PCC, current harmonics compensation scenario is selected in order to avoid excessive injection of...

Abstract—in this paper a concept of generalized theory of instantaneous imaginary power is proposed for a three-phase four-wire system. Unlike instantaneous reactive power theory in which a complex mathematical transformation is used for controlling action of shunt active power filters. The proposed control strategy is simple and further to reduced its complexity the line current vector is deco...

This paper reports the performance of a speed sensorless stand-alone Variable Speed Constant Frequency (VSCF) Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) capable of supplying all types of loads. The proposed method maintains the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of the machine current and the load voltage within acceptable limits. In contrast to previously proposed methods, in this paper, the stator si...

Molecular motors are responsible for numerous cellular processes from cargo transport to heart contraction. Their interactions with other cellular components are often transient and exhibit kinetics that depend on load. Here, we measure such interactions using 'harmonic force spectroscopy'. In this method, harmonic oscillation of the sample stage of a laser trap immediately, automatically and r...
