This paper presents an ant colony approach optimization to shunt capacitor placement on distribution systems under capacitor switching constraints. The optimum capacitor allocation solution is found for the system of feeders fed through their transformer and not for any individual feeder. The main advantages due to capacitor installation, such as system capacity release and reduction of overall...

Between the metal–insulator–metal (MIM) capacitor and metal–oxide–metal (MOM) capacitor, the MIM capacitor has a better characteristic of stable capacitance. However, the MOM capacitors can be easily realized through the metal interconnections, which does not need additional fabrication masks into the process. Moreover, the capacitance density of the MOM capacitor can exceed the MIM capacitor w...

This paper investigates the fault detection of a micro parallel plate capacitor subjected to nonlinear electrostatic force. For this end Thau observer, which has good ability in fault detection of nonlinear system has been presented and governing nonlinear dynamic equation of the capacitor has been presented. Upper and lower threshold for fault detection have been obtained. The robustness of th...

Interdigitated nanoelectrodes have a very large panel of applications running from organic devices (organic FETs) to biomolecule detection devices [1], or nano-electrochemistry. These nanoscale interdigitated electrodes turned out to be very efficient for electrically addressing small nanoobjects or for designing short conduction channels while conserving sufficient current density. In this pap...

This numerical study investigates compression and flow field design effects on electrode behaviour in vanadium redox batteries (VRFBs). Through 3D simulations analysis of various designs, including conventional, serpentine, interdigitated, parallel configurations, this three scenarios: uncompressed, non-homogeneously compressed, homogeneously compressed electrodes. Hydrodynamic electrochemical ...
