Using patch-clamp and calcium imaging techniques, we characterized the effects of ATP and histamine on human keratinocytes. In the HaCaT cell line, both receptor agonists induced a transient elevation of [Ca2+]i in a Ca(2+)-free medium followed by a secondary [Ca2+]i rise upon Ca2+ readmission due to store-operated calcium entry (SOCE). In voltage-clamped cells, agonists activated two kinetical...

One of the most important parameters of the system where wind turbine generators (WTGs) are connected is voltage profile at the point of common coupling (PCC). In the earlier stage, WTGs were possible to be disconnected from the system to avoid the damage of WTGs. Following the rapid injection of WTGs to the existing network during last decades, the transmission line operators (TSOs) require WT...

This paper introduces a new concept of optimal utilization of a unified power quality conditioner (UPQC). The series inverter of UPQC is controlled to perform simultaneous 1) voltage sag/swell compensation and 2) load reactive power sharing with the shunt inverter. The active power control approach is used to compensate voltage sag/swell and is integrated with theory of power angle control (PAC...

This paper presents a novel control strategy of a threephase four-wire Unified Power Quality (UPQC) for an improvement in power quality. The UPQC is realized by integration of series and shunt active power filters (APFs) sharing a common dc bus capacitor. The shunt APF is realized using a thee-phase, four leg voltage source inverter (VSI) and the series APF is realized using a three-phase, thre...

Today, with attention to increase in sensitive electrical equipments application in distribution networks and their susceptibility to the power quality deficiencies, the protection necessity of sensitive loads against undesirable effects of these disturbances are in focus. So, in this paper voltage sag deficiency and Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) would be introduced as the most prevalent power...

This paper investigates the power quality problems which occur frequently in supply and suggests a method to mitigate by implementation of UPQC. P-Q generally concern with voltage sags/swells harmonic currents. Custom Power (CP) devices that these have gained more attention recent decades. UPQC is Designed, modelled setup experimentally sag/swells currents three phase systems. consists Dynamic ...

Abstract---In this paper we present a wavelet compression technique for power quality disturbance data. Power quality transient data are compressed and stored for analysis and classification purposes. Original data can be reconstructed and then analyzed using wavelet transform. Different power quality disturbances including voltage sag, swell, sag with harmonic and swell with harmonics are used...
