Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFuzzy Based Digital Automatic Voltage Regulator of a Synchronous Generator with Unbalanced LoadsA. Darabi, S.A. Soleamani, A. HassanniaVoltage stability and power quality of the electrical systems depend on proper operation of the Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVR) of generators. Nowadays, design technology of the AVRs is being broadly improved. According to wide range operating conditions of the generators and loads, the fuzzy AVRs are going to be the modern type of regulators, particularly, for the genset alternators operating … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,602 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsExponential-Hyperbolic Model for Actual Operating Conditions of Three Phase Arc FurnacesMahdi Banejad, Rahmat-Allah Hooshmand, Mahdi Torabian EsfahaniProblem statement: The Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) is a non-linear load and creates power quality related problem. Therefore, accurate modeling of the EAF is essential. Approach: In this study, an optimal model for EAF in time domain called exponential-hyperbolic, was proposed to describe the behavior of the EAF for all of the operating conditions and it does not need the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,247 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA 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

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPower Quality Improvement Using DVRC. Benachaiba, B. FerdiVoltage sags and swells in the medium and low voltage distribution grid are considered to be the most frequent type of power quality problems based on recent power quality studies. Their impact on sensitive loads is severe. The impact ranges from load disruptions to substantial economic losses up to millions of dollars. Different solutions have been developed to protect sensitive … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,040 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHarmonics Phase Shifter for a Three-Phase System with Voltage Control by Integral-Cycle Triggering Mode of ThyristorsI. Badran, A.L. Mahmood, M.T. LazimIn integral-cycle triggering mode of voltage control, subharmonic as well as higher order harmonic components are generated in the load voltage waveforms of a three-phase system. These harmonic components are found to be unbalanced in phase displacement. The correction of the unbalanced phase displacement angles of a particular subharmonic or higher order harmonic for this type of triggering is investigated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,110 accessesView PDF Cite
