Modern radiation therapy (RT) treatment planning is based on multimodality imaging. With the recent availability of whole-body PET/MR hybrid imaging new opportunities arise to improve target volume delineation in RT treatment planning. This, however, requires dedicated RT equipment for reproducible patient positioning on the PET/MR system, which has to be compatible with MR and PET imaging. A p...

The work presented in this paper proposes an approach to reduce the common mode voltage at the output of matrix converters when a direct torque control scheme is employed to drive a permanent magnet synchronous motor. A mathematical analysis of the common mode voltage at the output of matrix converters is firstly carried out which is then corroborated by simulation results. Based on this analys...

With increased direct current (DC) load density and the penetration of a large number of distributed generation (DG) units in alternating current (AC) distribution networks (DNs); a planning approach that considers transforming some of the AC lines into DC lines and building the DC network is proposed. Considering the DG output uncertainty and the load fluctuation, a planning model for an AC/DC...

A sustainable residential microgrid composed of two distributed generation sources (photovoltaic panels and biofuel generator), one energy storage device (battery bank), and able of supplying both AC and DC loads, including a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, is proposed. The microgrid can operate in grid-connected mode and island mode. It is composed of a main DC bus and also an AC bus. The cha...

The objective of this study is to test the proposed Interconnected hybrid microgrid model with inclusion Photovoltaic Sub-System (PVSS), Wind Energy Sub System (WESS), Battery Storage (BESSS) in a DC / AC Connected which will be playing an important role analysis transition from electric grids Smart Grids Systems (SGS). In model, IEEE 14 busbar distribution systems used as case for interconnect...

The paper investigates the feasibility of a hybrid DC-AC home with roof top solar power. In recent times, power has become popular for residential homes. Generally, obtained from roof-top panels is converted to AC control unit and routed existing wiring network houses designed essentially support Electric Utilities which deliver Solar DC bus routing various sub-units Brushless (BLDC) motor-base...

In our paper, a method of using hybrid converter has been implemented. In the existing system, two stage approaches has been used. This two stage approach is both dc –dc converter and dc – ac Converter. This type of converters mentioned above has been used in the earlier stages, but the drawbacks that can be seen is increased cost and complexity. The proposed method mainly uses boost derived hy...
