Current-voltage characteristics of suspended single-wall carbon nanotube quantum dots show a series of steps equally spaced in voltage. The energy scale of this harmonic, low-energy excitation spectrum is consistent with that of the longitudinal low-k phonon mode (stretching mode) in the nanotube. Agreement is found with a Franck-Condon-based model in which the phonon-assisted tunneling process...

The power quality issues are of great concern now a days. The increasing use of power electronic devices based nonlinear loads deteriorate the quality of power. Power electronic appliances are widely used in industrial, commercial and utility system thus leading to various power quality problems. This leads to harmonics being injected into the distribution system and also reactive power burden....

Power quality standards (IEEE-519) require to limit the total harmonic distortion within satisfactory range caused by power electronic based devices. Our work deals with the design of hybrid active filter to reduce current perturbations produced by power electronics based devices. The Instantaneous Active and Reactive Power Method (pq) is used to perform the identification of disturbing current...

Integration of the PV into the electrical grid needs power electronic interface. This power electronic interface should have some key features and should come up with grid codes. One of the important criteria is the quality and harmonic contents of the current being injected to the grid. High-order harmonics of the grid current should be very limited (lower than 0.3% of the fundamental current)...

Abstract The problem of common mode voltage in inverters can be considered as a major issue which leads to motor bearing failures. To eliminate these voltages, proposing some methods seems to be necessary. This paper has a comparative study on estimating modulation methods of eliminating common mode voltage. The main idea of these methods is based on generation of reference vector with nearest ...

To achieve maximum possible power factor and by keeping total harmonic distortion (THD) within the acceptable limit. A new control algorithm of shunt active power filter under distorted grid voltage and unbalanced supply conditions is proposed. A new control algorithm renders the optimal compromise between harmonic free (HF) and unity power factor (UPF) by keeping the total harmonic distortion ...

This paper presents a transformer less ac/dc converter which can be used in voltages between 90230 Vrms. Instead of a transformer, this topology consists of a buck dc/dc converter and a buck boost dc/dc converter. By the absence of transformer, reduce the complexity of converter and it is cost effective. Buck dc/dc converter keeps o/p voltage below the line voltage; limit the leakage current. B...

With the dramatic growth of nonlinear loads, it is desired to improve active filters performance and enhance their capacity. One of the most favorable methods is applying distributed active filter system (DAFS) in which leads to minimizing the cost, weight & size .The main purpose of this paper is to determine the locations and sizes of distributed active filter system (DAFS) With emphasis on r...
