Since the onset of automation, industry has relied on adjustable speed drives to accurately control the speed of motors. Recent advances have increased the number of adjustable speed drives hitting the market. The proper operation of the speed drives requires electrical supply with relatively high power quality which is not the case in most industrial facilities. Power quality problems such as ...

Power quality is one of major concerns in the present era. It has become important, especially, with the introduction of sophisticated devices, whose performance is very sensitive to the quality of power supply. Power quality problem is an occurrence manifested as a nonstandard voltage, current or frequency that results in a failure or mis-operation of end user equipments. One of the major prob...

The use of sensitive electronic equipment has increased now a days which has lead to power quality problems. The various power quality disturbances are transients, interruptions, voltage sag, voltage swell, voltage collapse, harmonics etc. To solve these power quality problems various custom power devices are used. Dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is a custom power device used for the Compensatio...

The shift toward parallel computing has resulted into a growing interest in computing systems with heterogeneous processing modules. Reconfigurable devices are often employed in such heterogeneous systems due to their low power and parallel processing benefits. An important issue in the programmability of these systems is the need for a single programming interface. Recent works have leveraged ...

The Itanium processor cartridge is a packaging optimization for electrical and thermal performance in a server environment. The 3-in. × 5-in. cartridge contains the Itanium CPU, up to 4 megabytes of level-3 (L3) cache, an innovative power delivery scheme, and an integrated vapor chamber thermal spreading lid for removing power. Cartridges and a chip set can be ganged electrically by means of a ...

This paper presents the application of dynamic voltage restorers (DVR) on power distribution Systems for mitigation of voltage sags/swells at critical loads. DVR is one of the compensating types of custom power devices. An adequate modeling and simulation of DVR, including controls in MATLAB, show the flexibility and easiness of the MATLAB environment in studying and Understanding such compensa...
