This paper presents a direct power control (DPC) for three-phase matrix converters operating as unified power flow controllers (UPFCs). Matrix converters (MCs) allow the direct ac/ac power conversion without dc energy storage links; therefore, the MC-based UPFC (MCUPFC) has reduced volume and cost, reduced capacitor power losses, together with higher reliability. Theoretical principles of direc...

Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) are in growing attention in recent power systems because of their paramount abilities in state estimation. PMUs are placed in existing power systems where there are already installed conventional measurements, which can be helpful if they are considered in PMU optimal placement. In this paper, a method is proposed for optimal placement of PMUs incorporating conve...

a matrix $pintextmd{c}^{ntimes n}$ is called a generalized reflection matrix if $p^{h}=p$ and $p^{2}=i$‎. ‎an $ntimes n$‎ ‎complex matrix $a$ is said to be a reflexive (anti-reflexive) matrix with respect to the generalized reflection matrix $p$ if $a=pap$ ($a=-pap$)‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we introduce two iterative methods for solving the pair of matrix equations $axb=c$ and $dxe=f$ over reflexiv...

High power and high voltage gain DC-DC converters are key to high-voltage DC (HVDC) power transmission for offshore wind power. This paper presents an isolated ultra-high step-up DC-DC converter in matrix transformer configuration. A flyback-forward converter is adopted as the power cell and the secondary side matrix connection is introduced to increase the power level and to improve fault tole...

In this article, we investigate the linear precoder based on the maximization of the minimum Euclidean distance between two received data vectors. This new precoding matrix is expressed as the product of a power allocation matrix and an input-shaping matrix. The input-shaping matrix is selected as a normalized discrete Fourier transform-matrix, and the optimal power allocation depends on the ch...

matrix metalloproteinases (mmps) are a family of neutral proteinases that are important in normal development, cellular differentiation or migration, angiogenesis, neurogenesis, wound repair, and a wide range of pathological processes such as oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. mmps have been demonstrated to increase the permeability of the blood–brain barrier (bbb) by degrading the compone...

A comprehensive linear minimummean squared error (LMMSE) approach for parametric speech enhancement is developed. The proposed algorithms aim at joint LMMSE estimation of signal power spectra and phase spectra, as well as exploitation of correlation between spectral components. The major cause of this interfrequency correlation is shown to be the prominent temporal power localization in the exc...

This paper presents the different power converters for grid integration of wind power systems. In wind power systems while integrating with grid, power quality issues are becoming more predominant. This can solve by using power electronics converters like two level back to back converter and matrix converters. Converters are compared on the basis of efficiencies, voltage conversion ratios and T...
