There are various static var compensator configurations available and listed in the literature. Their performances evaluated based on their voltage support, dynamic response, losses, cost, additional filter requirement, if any. In this paper, efforts made to improve performance parameter such as rise time, settling peak overshoots. A new topology with an adaptive controller is presented, which ...

optimal sitting and sizing of shunt capacitor banks at the distribution networks for the purpose of power quality improvement is drawn much attention of electric power utilities in the last decades. determining the optimal number, location and sizing of capacitor using bee colony optimization algorithm (bco) is being presented in this paper. the bco algorithm is a new population based meta-heur...

This study investigates a new hybrid energy storage system (HESS), which consists of a battery bank and an ultra-capacitor (UC) bank, and a control strategy for this system. The proposed topology uses a bi-directional DC-DC converter with a lower power rating than those used in the traditional HESS topology. The proposed HESS has four operating modes, and the proposed control strategy chooses t...

Sampling and perfect reconstruction of Finite rate of innovation (FRI) signals, which are usually not bandlimited, was introduced by Vetterli, Marziliano, and Blu [1]. A typical FRI reconstruction algorithm requires solving for FRI signal parameters from a power-sum series. This in turn requires annihilation filters and polynomial root-finding techniques. These steps complicate the analysis of ...

Cutting-edge CMOS neurochips, which consist of a Microelectrode Array (MEA) manufactured on top of CMOS circuitry, allow the recording of the electrical activity of neural networks in-vitro, and their stimulation. As CMOS technology continues to scale down, signal processing is favorably done in the digital domain, which requires Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) to be integrated on-chip. To ...

In this study, the planning problem concerned with simultaneous placement of distribution generation (DG) and capacitor bank in the distribution network is investigated from a local distribution company’s (DISCO’s) viewpoint based on minimum total cost over the planning period and applying genetic algorithm (GA). The cost terms of the objective function include risk cost of load not supplied of...
