In this communication, an attempt has been made to obtain an analytical expression for the retention period of a given capacity biogas plant. It has been shown that the use of solar energy reduces the retention period. The ...

In this paper we develop models that incorporate general mobility patterns that are induced by the cell topography (e.g., road layout, street orientation, density of intersections). In particular, we study the effect of ...

Reliable transport protocols such as the transmission control protocol (TCP) are tuned to perform well in traditional wireline networks where packet losses occur mostly because of congestion. However, networks with wireless ...

Teletraffic modelling of users is crucial for cellular system layout and planning, and to evaluate tradeoffs in system design issues. In order to be useful, the model should capture mobility under the most generalized ...

We propose a dynamic handoff algorithm that, as compared to the static algorithm, yields a reduced number of unnecessary handoffs while maintaining the quality of service constraints in a cellular mobile system. The fraction ...

In modern power distribution systems, the majority of loads draw reactive power and/or harmonic currents from the AC source along with main active power currents. These nonunity power factor linear and nonlinear loads cause ...

This paper presents a comparison among proportional-integral, variable structure voltage controller and energy balance controller for the control of single phase active filter. Proportional-integral (PI) and variable ...

This paper deals with the performance analysis of an improved converter which is capable of supplying reactive power of other 3-phase linear loads at the common point of connection to the AC mains. The converter with ...

The paper presents an active power filter (APF) to eliminate harmonics and to compensate reactive power and neutral current of three-phase four-wire symmetrical and unbalanced nonlinear loads. A set of three single-phase ...

This paper presents the analysis of four leg voltage source inverter (VSI) used as an active filter (AF) for reactive power compensation, load balancing, harmonic elimination and neutral current compensation in three-phase ...
