Thyristor controlled static compensators consist of two basic schemes, TCR and TSC. Owing to the discontinuous current in TCR, current harmonics are generated in the supply system. This paper introduces two methods for the reduction of these harmonics. On the basis of the coordination or uncoordination of turn ratios with harmonic reduction levels, each method is described in two alternative sc...

Optical collective Thomson scattering (TS) is used to diagnose magnetized high energy density physics experiments at the Magpie pulsed-power generator Imperial College London. The system uses an amplified pulse from second harmonic of a Nd:YAG laser (3 J, 8 ns, 532 nm) probe wide diversity high-temperature plasma objects, with densities in range 1017–1019 cm?3 and temperatures between 10 eV few...

The quest for a green electrical power system has increased the use of renewable energy resources and electronic converters in existing system. These converters, however, are major cause harmonics result degradation quality. In last two decades, researchers have proposed various designs multilevel to minimize these harmonic distortions, comprehensive solution stand-alone solar photovoltaic (PV)...

A near-threshold He(γ, n) cross-section measurement has been performed at MAXlab. Tagged photons from 23 < Eγ < 42 MeV were directed toward a liquid He target, and neutrons were detected by time-of-flight in two liquid-scintillator arrays. Seven-point angular distributions were measured for eight photon energies. The results are compared to experimental data measured at comparable energies and ...

This Letter describes how out-of-plane lattice plasmon (OLP) resonances in 2D Au nanoparticle (NP) arrays show dispersive quality factors. These quality factors can be tailored simply by controlling NP height. Numerical calculations of near-field optical properties and band diagrams were performed to understand the measured dispersion effects of the OLPs. The results revealed that delocalized O...
