The harmonic currents generated by the modern power supply equipment cause power system heating and also add to user power bills. Personal computers are the major equipments which use the modern power supply ie switched mode power supply (SMPS).These SMPS draw non-sinusoidal currents from the supply which results in generation of harmonics. Power quality of the distribution network is been dist...

Compulsators are being designed at ever increasing energies and energy densities and are required to deliver energy to the load in less than 10 ms. These require high speeds of operation and dense spacing of conductors. Diffusion of magnetic fields into the conductors and the formation of nonuniform, time-dependent distribution of eddy currents become dominant design considerations due to their...

This paper presents modeling and analysis of 12-phase distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM), which is capable of balancing the source currents in spite of unbalanced loading and phase outages. In addition to balance the supply current, the power factor can be set to a desired value. The theory of instantaneous symmetrical components is used to generate the twelve-phase reference currents. ...

[1] A fluid, mobile atmosphere and oceans surrounds the solid Earth and upon its land surface lays a continually changing distribution of ice, snow, and ground water. The changing distribution of mass associated with the motion of these surficial fluids changes the Earth’s rotation by changing its inertia tensor and changes the Earth’s shape by changing the load on the solid Earth. It has recen...

An alternative and simplified procedure is described to estimate the longitudinal resistances of transmission lines based on the real-time load profile. This method proposes to estimate the resistance parameters from the synchronized measurements of complex currents and complex voltages at the sending and receiving ends of transmission systems. The synchronized measurements can be in practice o...

Epithelial Na channels were investigated using patch-clamp techniques in connecting tubule (CNT) segments isolated from rat kidney. Cell-attached patches with Li+ in the patch pipette contained channels with conductances for inward currents of 13-16 pS and slow opening and closing kinetics, similar to properties of Na channels in the cortical collecting tubule (CCT). Macroscopic amiloride-sensi...

An adaptive controller based on multi-layer feed-forward neural network is developed for real-time voltage regulation of a class of PSFB (phase-shifted full-bridge) DC-DC converters. The controller has the unique advantages of nonlinear mapping and adaptive learning. and performs well over a wide range of input voltages and output load currents. The controller is implemented and tested in hardw...

The electric arc furnaces are a very large power load, determining the negative effects on the power quality (harmonics currents, unbalanced load, and reactive power). For a maximum efficiency of the power consumption it is necessary to use an automat system for control the harmonics filters, the reactive power compensation installation and the electrodes position, in order to obtain a high val...

A comprehensive model for stochastic load flow analysis in electric power systems is proposed for the purpose of estimating the statistics of bus voltage magnitudes, circuit currents and transmission line power flows. The proposed method is driven by a realistic nonconforming stochastic electric load model, defined in terms of few independent stochastic processes; it is based on the quadratized...

Autoregulation of the ciliary beat frequency (CBF) has been proposed as the mechanism used by epithelial ciliated cells to maintain the CBF and prevent the collapse of mucociliary transport under conditions of varying mucus viscosity. Despite the relevance of this regulatory response to the pathophysiology of airways and reproductive tract, the underlying cellular and molecular aspects remain u...
