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 · 6,814 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling and Control of Three-Phase Shunt Active Power FilterMoleykutty George, Kartik Prasad BasuIn this research the performance of a three-phase shunt active power filter (APF) using Model Reference Controller (MRC) has been compared with that using instantaneous active and reactive (p-q) theory. The novelty of this research lies in the application of MRC to generate the amplitude of the reference supply current required by the APF circuit and the successful implementation of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,503 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThree-Phase Shunt Active Power FilterMoleykutty George, Kartik Prasad BasuActive power filters have been widely used for harmonic elimination. The performance of a conventional three-phase shunt Active Power Filter (APF) using Synchronous Detection Method (SDM) has been compared with Nonlinear Autoregressive-Moving Average (NARMA)-L2 based APF. The novelty of this study lies in the application of NARMA-L2 control to generate the amplitude of the reference supply current required by the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,306 accessesView PDFCite

This paper discusses the topology, control strategies using artificial intelligent based controllers and the performance of a unified power quality conditioner for power quality improvement. UPQC is an integration of shunt and series compensation to limit the harmonic contamination within 5 %, the limit imposed by … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,913 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFault Reconstruction Using Sliding Mode ObserversK. Hakiki, B. Mazari, A. Liazid, S. DjaberIn this study, a nonlinear sliding observer is proposed to explicitly reconstruct fault signals. The novelty lies in the application of the equivalent output injection concept. Previous work in the area of fault detection has used disruption of the sliding motion to detect faults. The aim of the present study was to design a robust observer that slides in the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 6,683 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInterest-based Recommendation in Digital LibraryYan Yang, Jian Zhong LiWith the huge amount and large variety of information available in a digital library, it’s becoming harder and harder for users to identify and get hold of their interested documents. To alleviate the difficulty, personalized recommendation techniques have been developed. Current recommendation techniques rely on similarity between documents. In our work, recommendations are made based on three factors: similarity between … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,015 accessesView PDFCite
