Power electronics

The increase in demand for renewable energy sources has been exponential in recent years and is mainly driven by factors that include the growth of greenhouse emissions and the decline in fossil fuel reservoirs. Photovoltaic (PV) energy, one of the more prominent renewable energ…

The increasing use of power electronic system has led voltage harmonic distortion level to an unacceptable level at point of common coupling (PCC). This ongoing degradation of power quality (PQ) has inspired considerable research interest in the area of power quality improvement…

Power cables are widely used in power transmission and distribution system. As the role of power cables is getting important, the condition monitoring of power cables is very essential. Partial-discharge measurements are a proven way to diagnose power-cables. Partial discharges …

Switched reluctance motor (SRM) has become a competitive selection for many applications of electric machine drive systems recently due to its relative simple construction and its robustness. The advantages of those motors are high reliability, easy maintenance and good performa…
