Power factor correction is vital in present society. The two key benefits of power factor correction, which includes reduced power costs and higher system capacity. Implementation of Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) improves the power factor, power transfer capability and voltage stability. The shunt type of FACTS controller is used to either absorb or inject VARs into the system, there...

Topology for reactive power compensation of dynamic load in closed loop is presented. The scheme consists of Thyristor Binary Switched Capacitor (TBSC) banks and a Thyristor Controlled Reactor (TCR). TBSC is based on a chain of Thyristor Switched Capacitor (TSC) banks arranged in binary sequential manner. TCR capacity is chosen to be smallest of TBSC step size. A transient free switching of TBS...

This paper investigates the parallel harmonic resonance problem for hybrid compensation systems, consisting of active power filters and thyristor-switched capacitors, proposes an adaptive composite control strategy solving that may arise in practical applications systems. In practice, a system can effectively solve reactive problems, but equivalent reactance capacitor supply line form resonant ...

A Switched Capacitor circuit is an electronic circuit element used for discrete time signal processing. It works by moving charges into and out of capacitors when switches are opened and closed. Usually, nonoverlapping signals are used to control the switches, so that not all switches are closed simultaneously. Filters implemented with these elements are termed switched capacitor filters. Unlik...

As there are also graph methods of circuit analysis in addition to algebraic methods, it is, in theory, clearly possible to carry out an analysis of a whole switched circuit in two-phase switching exclusively by the graph method as well. This article deals with two methods of full-graph solving of switched circuits: by transformation graphs and by two-graphs. It deals with the circuit switched ...

Novel common-mode feedback circuits are proposed for use in pseudo-differential switched-capacitor circuits. They can be implemented by incorporating just four additional capacitors (and switches) for an integrator, and only two additional capacitors for a residue gain amplifier. The circuits are applicable to very low-voltage switched-capacitor stages realized in submicron low-voltage CMOS pro...

In this paper, a series Z-source inverter based on switched inductors cell is proposed for the first time. This inverter is able to increase the voltage gain in comparison to the conventional Z–source inverters in additon to solve the ST (shoot-through) state’s problems. In this inverter, the value of voltage gain is increased by increasing the number of used diodes and inductors in the switche...

Power modulators for pulsed microwave applications, generally utilizing a thyratron-switched PFN, typically produce 50-120 kV, 1-2 kA microsecond timescale pulses with sub-microsecond ( -100-200 nsec) risetimes. This paper will review an investigation into the feasibility of utilizing certain solid-state power switches at the relatively fast speeds required for HPM modulators. Two very differen...
