Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleDevelopment of the Unified Series-Shunt Compensator for Power Quality MitigationM. A. Hannan, A. Mohamed, A. Hussain, Majid al DabbayThis study describes the derivation of an analytical model and simulation for the unified series-shunt compensator (USSC) for investigating power quality in power distribution system. The USSC simulation comprises of two 12-pulse inverters which were connected in series and in shunt with the system. A generalized sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) switching technique was developed in the proposed controller for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 7,636 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHARMONICS REDUCTION IN FRONT END RECTIFER OF UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLIES WITH ACTIVE CURRENT INJECTIONT. Chandrasekar, B. Justus Rabi, A. KannanHarmonics are the by-products of modern electronics devices so it is necessary to mitigate the harmonics and offer techniques to mitigation of harmonics. It is greatly hampered by a three phase rectifier used as a front-end ac-to-dc converter in many systems. High power factor is achieved by injecting high-frequency currents into the three-phase rectifier. This study presents the high power … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 1 Feb 2014 · 6,803 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGradient Descent Learning for Utility Current Compensation using Active Regenerative PWM FilterR. Balamurugan, G. GurusamyProblem statement: Harmonic analysis is a primary matter of power quality assessment. Its main intention is to check the utility whether it is delivering the loads without any deviations in voltages and currents. The problem is due to proliferation of Electronic converters and power electronics which gave birth to numerous new applications, offering unmatched comfort to the customers. Approach: Harmonics … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 14 Oct 2011 · 6,545 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Emissions from Power Stations on the Ambient Air Quality of Selected Urban Areas in KuwaitBader N. Al-Azmi, V. Nassehi, A.R. KhanIn Kuwait, two main power stations, one comprising of seven-300MW steam generators at Doha and other with eight-300MW steam generators at Subyia cover the major power requirement of Kuwait city. These stations used different types of fuel oil as the prime source of energy that has different sulpher contents (S%). Comprehensive emission inventories for year the 2001 were used to … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,014 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordArtificial Neural Network Controller Based Distribution Static Compensator for Voltage Sag MitigationD. Rajasekaran, Subhransu Sekhar Dash, Arun Bhaskar Mayilvaganan et al.Switching of loads, capacitors, along with the proliferation of power electronics equipment, non-linear loads in industrial, commercial and domestic applications have lead to power quality issues in the distribution system. Power quality issues such as voltage sag, voltage swell and harmonics, which are certainly major concerning issues in the present era. These issues can lead to failure or malfunction of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 21 Jun 2013 · 6,955 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Dynamic Voltage Restorer for Voltage Sag Mitigation in a Refinery with Induction Motors LoadsTarek I. El-Shennawy, Abdel-Mon’em Moussa, Mahmoud A. El-Gammal, Amr Y. Abou-GhazalaProblem statement: ANRPC is a refinery based in Alexandria, Egypt. The plant was subjected to several shutdowns due to tripping of large induction motors, either by under voltage or by over current relays, sometimes by the mechanical protection. The main cause for such unplanned shutdowns was voltage sags. The Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) has recently been introduced to protect the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,922 accessesView PDF Cite
