Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Comparison of Three-Phase Shunt Active Power Filter AlgorithmsMoleykutty George, Kartik Prasad BasuThe usage of parallel converters is ever increasing. However, the voltage and current harmonics, zero-sequence and negative- sequence components of voltage and current and reactive power present in parallel converters give an alarming signal to power system and power electronic engineers. This research discusses performance of three-phase shunt active power filter (APF) system using three different control techniques namely synchronous … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,810 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Implementation of an Optimal Fuzzy Logic Controller Using Genetic AlgorithmS. Khan, S. F. Abdulazeez, L. W. Adetunji et al.All control systems suffer from problems related to undesirable overshoot, longer settling times and vibrations while going form one state to another state. Most of relevant techniques had been in the form of suggesting modification and improvement in the instrumentation or interfacing part of the control system and the results reported, remain suffering from shortcomings related to hardware parameter dependence … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 8,049 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation Studies on A Cross Flow Plate Fin Heat ExchangerM. Thirumarimurugan, T. Kannadasan, E. RamasamyCompact heat exchangers which were initially developed for the aerospace industries in the 1940s have been considerably improved in the past few years. The main reasons for the good performance of compact heat exchangers are their special design which includes turbulent which in turn use high heat transfer coefficient and resists fouling, and maximum temperature driving force between the hot … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,239 accessesView PDFCite
