In this paper, a statcom without any energy storage devices is proposed to compensate network voltage during disturbances. This statcom utilizes a matrix converter in its topology which eliminates the DC-link capacitor of conventional statcom. The modulation method for matrix converter which is used in this paper is space vector modulation. There are some methods to improve power quality for se...

An experimental method to follow the evolution of the precipitation phenomena in the metal-matrix composites using the thermoelectric power measurements is described. It is shown that one can follow the kinetics of the precipitation during aging. The influence of the reinforcement on the precipitation kinetics is studied in case of an aluminum 6061- SiC, composite (where SiC, represents SiC par...

In this report, the impulse response boundary of discrete-time, linear, time-invariant systems with interval uncertainty is studied. The key problem of determining the impulse response of such systems is to find the boundaries of the power of an interval matrix at a specified order. To estimate the bounds of the power of an interval matrix, interval perturbation theory is used. Two different me...

The matrix calculation was applied to Gaussian optics. Matrices were defined for a single diopter, a lens, an association of two centered systems having the same axis when the origins are taken at the vertices of the first and last refracting surfaces. The matrix formula then was used to calculate the power of the emmetropizing lens implant, and its results compared with the ones obtained by fi...

This paper discusses the physical meaning and properties of the waves defined by v%+ z%Ib ~ = V. – Z,*Ii a%= ,, 2u/Re Z,] 2<1 ReZtl where V, and 1, are the voltage at and the current flowing into the ith port of a junction and Z, is the impedance of the circuit connected to the ith port. The square of the magnitude of these waves is directly related to the exchangeable power of a source and the...
