A doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) designed to be driven at variable speed from a wind turbine and supplying an isolated load is presented. Two back-to-back PWM voltage-fed inverters connected between the stator and the rotor allow suband super-synchronous operation with low distortion currents. The load voltage is maintained at constant frequency and its magnitude is regulated through con...

This paper proposes a low dropout voltage regulator (LDO) that exhibits both fast response to load transients and the ability handle practically any capacitor. Starting from typical LDO topology, an error amplifier (EA) drives PMOS pass transistor passive feedback network, we inserted novel circuit, with input AC-coupled output connected directly gate. circuit creates inner loop able react quic...

This paper presents a sensorless system drive on primary flux oriented control (PFOC) and secondary flux oriented control (SFOC) for the linear induction motor (LIM) with taking into account end effect. Extended kalman filter (EKF) is applied to estimate LIM speed by measuring motor voltages and currents. In order to achieve desirable dynamic and robustness motor performance instead of traditio...

Transmural heterogeneities in Na/K pump current (IP), transient outward K(+)-current (Ito), and Ca(2+)-current (ICaL) play an important role in regulating electrical and contractile activities in the ventricular myocardium. Prior studies indicated angiotensin II (A2) may determine the transmural gradient in Ito, but the effects of A2 on IP and ICaL were unknown. In this study, myocytes were iso...

A major hazard during the eruption of explosive volcanoes is the formation of pyroclastic density currents (PDCs). Casualties and physical building damage from PDCs are caused by the temperature, pressure, and particle load of the flow. This paper examines the vulnerability of buildings and occupants to the forces imposed by PDCs along with associated infiltration of PDC particle and gas mixtur...

Because of the acute shortage of conventional energy resources, renewable energy harness is gaining attention. Voltage source inverter forms the interface to feed the power from the renewable source to utility. In order to increase the modularity of the system, the use of several parallel inverters of reduced rating is preferred. An effective control strategy to maintain the amplitude and frequ...

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the benefits that can be achieved by operating the connection inverters of the distributed energy resources as active power filters in LV distribution networks. The use of the future fuel cell inverters to compensate zero sequence currents, arising from unbalances among phases, can improve the efficiency of the distribution networks by means of reducing the ...

Nonlinear and unbalanced loads introduce distortions to the power network in form of harmonics asymmetric load conditions. Through rising penetration residential renewable plants, energy is fed back into grid. By shaping output those converters can be mitigated. The technique shunt active filtering allows instantaneous compensation a dedicated nonlinear load, by measuring its distorted consumpt...
