In this paper a new topology for Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) with high frequency link is proposed. This topology is able to compensate different types of voltage disturbances such as voltage sag, voltage swell and voltage harmonics. According to the obtained equations, this topology operates as a controllable current source to charge the series capacitor. Due to using High Frequency Transfor...

For improving power quality as a cost effective solution for the protection of sensitive loads from voltage disturbances a dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) has great significance. Dynamic voltage restorers are mostly utilized to deal with voltage sag and swells in distribution systems. In this paper, a Dynamic voltage restorer and review of proposed control strategies applied in Dynamic voltage r...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Articular chondrocytes dwell in an environment that is continuously changing its osmolarity as a consequence of mechanical loading, yet their volume regulation capabilities (RVD) are not fully understood. This work aimed to determine the osmotic sensitivity of freshly isolated rat chondrocytes, their RVD capabilities and to study the properties of any anion currents associated. ...

In future grid codes wind farms will have to fulfill demanding fault ride through requirements. Among several grid faults the voltage swell is a critical event. Wind farms with doubly-fed induction generators will not be able to fulfill the new grid code requirements without additional fault mitigation equipment. In this publication the applicability of the Dynamic Voltage Restorer and the Stat...

Neither the effects of repetitive swells on metal-oxide varistors, nor the natural occurrence of swells had been documented in the literature. The paper briefly described a laboratory system capable of generating arbitrary swells and applying them to test varistors. A statistical experiment on five lots of varistors was performed and preliminary results reported. Effects of amplitude, duration,...

Photovoltaic systems have been increasingly used in the generation of electrical energy because of the cost of energy produced from fossil fuels is rising day to-day and there by photovoltaic energy becomes a promising alternative source for fossil fuels. Power quality is the major problem that occurs between grid to end user transmission lines. DSTATCOM is the one of the power quality compensa...

Custom Power devices like Dynamic voltage restorer and STATCOM are normally employed as a solution for mitigation of power quality problems like voltage sag and swell. In this paper new voltage sag compensators based on an autotransformer and an IGBT switched by PWM technique and Hysteresis Voltage Control (HVC) method are compared. These two schemes are able to recognize the voltage sag condit...

Now a days, the problem of voltage sags and Swells create a severe impact on sensitive loads in industries . Due to which load shedding and over voltages might occur. Several custom power devices can be used to overcome this problem. Of these power devices Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is one of the most reliable and efficient custom power devices used in power distribution network. This paper...

Patch-clamp recordings were used to study ion currents induced by cell swelling caused by hypotonicity in human prostate cancer epithelial cells, LNCaP. The reversal potential of the swelling-evoked current suggested that Cl(-) was the primary charge carrier (termed I(Cl,swell)). The selectivity sequence of the underlying volume-regulated anion channels (VRACs) for different anions was Br(-) ap...
