In the most recent heuristic methods, the high potential buses for capacitor placement are initially identified and ranked using loss sensitivity factors (LSFs) or power loss index (PLI). These factors or indices help to reduce the search space of the optimization procedure, but they may not always indicate the appropriate placement of capacitors. This paper proposes an efficient approach for t...

Crystal oscillators use an external crystal to generate clock signals for designs that require high stability at a precise frequency. Phase-locked-loops are used to multiply the crystal output frequency to higher values. This application note describes the use of Crystal Oscillator and PLLs in the context of the AT91M42800A and AT91M55800A ARM-based microcontrollers. The ZIP file " Automatic_Ca...

Soft Switcing techniques have recently been applied in the design of dc-ac converters, in order to achive better performance, higher efficiency, and power density. One of the soft switching techniques uesd in inverters is resonant dc links. These topologies have some disadvantages such as irregular current peaks, large voltage peaks, uncotrollble pulse width, etc. Another soft switching method ...

This paper presents a Closed Loop CLL-T (capacitor inductor inductor) Series Parallel Resonant Converter (SPRC) has been simulated and the performance is analysised. A three element CLL-T SPRC working under load independent operation (voltage type and current type load) is presented in this paper. The Steady state Stability Analysis of CLL-T SPRC has been developed using State Space technique a...

Switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive has a remarkable characteristic, high efficiency, and good controllability, which makes it attractive for high-speed applications. In this paper, the basic control strategy for a switched reluctance motor drive circuit is explained and then three different resonant discharge topologies for SRM drive circuit are proposed. Due to resonantly discharging of exc...

This paper represents an effective method for optimal placement of DG and capacitor in distribution system. The main objective is to reduce the power losses in the system by placing capacitor and DG of optimal size and at optimal location. Distribution system connects the high voltage transmission system and low voltage side, hence it is necessary to keep the system at minimum losses for making...
