Accurate determination of the neutral conductor current distribution along a low voltage distribution feeder is vitally important from two perspectives. The first is to investigate the voltage profile along the feeder. The second is directly related to the economical feasibility of the system (i.e. total losses occurring on the feeder). Due to numerous reasons, actual measurements are case specific. Hence, a typical low voltage feeder is modeled in detail and simulated with randomly assigned actual residential load data obtained from energy consumption measurements. Results indicate better voltage regulation and economic advantages of neutral conductors selected in the same cross-section as phase conductors.

It is known that the thermal efficiency of gas turbines strongly depends on the turbine entry temperature of the working fluid. This has resulted in increased turbine working temperatures, and peak temperatures in advanced gas turbines have been well above maximum allowable metal temperatures for quite some time. For turbine blades to survive while operating beyond these material temperature limits, internal and external cooling techniques have been developed. Due to structural and aerodynamic restrictions,...
Active clamped ZVS forward converter with soft-switched synchronous rectifier for maximum efficiency operation
Acik, A; Cadirci, I (1998-05-22)
An active-clamped, zero-voltage switched forward converter equipped with a soft-switched synchronous rectifier is designed and implemented for some low output voltage applications where maximized efficiency is of utmost importance. The converter efficiency is maximized due to soft-switching of the main, active clamp and the synchronous rectifier MOSFET switches. Experimental results are presented for a converter with a de input voltage of 48V, an output voltage of 5V and a de electronic load up to 10A. The ...

In this study, the input filter design and dc-bus voltage control of ac motor drives utilizing low capacitance film capacitor are investigated. The dc-bus voltage instability problem arising due to the resonance between the dc-bus capacitor and circuit inductances is explained. A dimensioning algorithm of dc-bus filter components for stable operation is given. The simulation results of the low capacitance motor drives with and without dc-link inductor are provided to observe the stability of the dc-bus at d...

Yürük, Hüseyin; Keysan, Ozan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-1-19)
Nonlinearities in voltage source inverters (VSIs) are thought to be the primary cause of output voltage distortions which cause low-order harmonics in the output current. These nonlinearities also considerably degrades control performance and system stability for low-speed applications with low-inductance motors, particularly when the system operates in the low-torque area. The impact of the nonlinearities on the phase current and current control of a silicon (Si) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect tran...
Performance analysis and comparison of reduced common mode voltage PWM and standard PWM techniques for three-phase voltage source inverters
Un, E; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2006-03-23)
This paper investigates the performance characteristics of the reduced common mode voltage (RCMV) PWM methods for three phase voltage source inverters and provides a comparison with the standard PWM methods. PWM methods are reviewed and their pulse patterns and common mode voltage patterns illustrated. The AC output current ripple, DC link input current ripple, and output voltage linearity characteristics of each modulation method are thoroughly investigated by analytical methods and simulations. The analys...
