This thesis deals with the analysis, modeling, and control of the doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) for wind turbines. Different rotor current control methods are investigated with the objective of eliminating the influence of the back electromotive force (EMF), which is that of, in control terminology, a load disturbance, on the rotor current. It is found that the method that utilizes both...

PURPOSE Visual flicker induces a response in human optic nerve blood flow (F(onh)) and inner retinal activity, as assessed by laser Doppler flowmetry and electroretinogram (ERG), respectively. In this study the relationship was examined between the flicker-evoked changes in F(onh) (RF(onh)) and ERG when various parameters of the stimulus were varied. METHODS In five normal observers (mean age...

Several types of power quality problems can be observed in network. These include voltage unbalance, flicker, sags and swells, interruptions, current harmonics. Voltage sag is one the vital issues. This problem cause a decrease grid over short time horizon. The aforementioned caused by various circuits widespread use sensitive devices. have significant impact on systems. In this review article,...

We aimed to noninvasively estimate the relative contribution of the cone photoreceptors to the photopic flicker electroretinogram (ERG) in humans. Responses to ganzfeld square-wave flicker (15, 30, and 60 Hz) were recorded in the presence of a rod-saturating background. We used a modified paired flash technique in which a bright probe flash was presented at different times during a flicker cycl...

great effect of three way catalytic convertor (twc) performance on oxygen sensor output voltage has made the sensor (located after catalyst) as the main signal in almost all today’s twc monitoring algorithms. in this paper output voltage of nonlinear oxygen sensor is estimated using a nonlinear autoregressive with exogenous inputs (narx) model. the estimation uses ecu calculated exhaust gas flo...

The system stability is greatly hampered when green electricity is feed into the conventional electricity network due to intermittent nature of renewable sources. The electricity generation from wind so far predominates than that of other renewable sources. In order to maintain system stability of the electricity network, IEC-61400 (International Electro-technical Commission) standard has defin...

The power quality issue will take new dimension due to power system restructuring and shifting trend towards distributed generation. Huge loss in terms of time and money have made power quality problems a major anxiety for modern industries with non-linear loads in electrical power system. Power quality consists of a large number of disturbances such as voltage sags, swells, harmonics, notch, f...

The detection and classification of power quality disturbances in power systems are important tasks in monitoring and protection of power system network. Most of the power system disturbances are non stationary and transitory in nature and new tools are being used nowadays for the analysis of power quality disturbances. This paper presents a wavelet based feature extraction method for the detec...

A 5.2-GHz CMOS receiver employs a double downconversion heterodyne architecture with a local oscillator frequency of 2.6 GHz and applies offset cancellation to the baseband amplifiers. Placing the image around the zero frequency, the receiver achieves an image rejection of 62 dB with no external components while minimizing the flicker noise upconversion in the first mixing operation. Realized i...

We have investigated noise characteristics of novel GaN/Al0:15Ga0:85N doped channel heterostructure field effect transistors designed for high-power density applications. The measurements were carried out for various gate bias VGS and the drain voltage VDS varying from the linear to the saturation regions of operation VDS > 5 V. Our results show that flicker, e.g., 1=f noise, is the dominant li...
