Harmonic current extraction of shunt active power filter based on prediction current technique - Hysteresis PWM
Due to the wide spread of power electronics equipment in modern electrical systems, the increase of the
harmonics disturbance in the ac mains currents has became a major concern due to the adverse effects on all
analysis and simulation using MATLAB-SIMULINK of a three-phase shunt active equipment. This paper presents the Shunt Active Power Filter (SAPF) to compensate the generated harmonics by 3-phase Rectifier Bridge fed R-L load. The harmonic current extraction is based on prediction current extraction technique -hysteresis PWM generation pattern
Apollo experience report: Command and service module electrical power distribution on subsystem
A review of the design philosophy and development of the Apollo command and service modules electrical power distribution subsystem, a brief history of the evolution of the total system, and some of the more significant components within the system are discussed. The electrical power distribution primarily consisted of individual control units, interconnecting units, and associated protective devices. Because each unit within the system operated more or less independently of other units, the discussion of the subsystem proceeds generally in descending order of complexity; the discussion begins with the total system, progresses to the individual units of the system, and concludes with the components within the units
Conceptual design and feasibility evaluation model of a 10 to the 8th power bit oligatomic mass memory. Volume 1: Conceptual design
The oligatomic (mirror) thin film memory technology is a suitable candidate for general purpose spaceborne applications in the post-1975 time frame. Capacities of around 10 to the 8th power bits can be reliably implemented with systems designed around a 335 million bit module. The recommended mode was determined following an investigation of implementation sizes ranging from an 8,000,000 to 100,000,000 bits per module. Cost, power, weight, volume, reliability, maintainability and speed were investigated. The memory includes random access, NDRO, SEC-DED, nonvolatility, and dual interface characteristics. The applications most suitable for the technology are those involving a large capacity with high speed (no latency), nonvolatility, and random accessing
Readout for intersatellite laser interferometry: Measuring low frequency phase fluctuations of HF signals with microradian precision
Precision phase readout of optical beat note signals is one of the core
techniques required for intersatellite laser interferometry. Future space based
gravitational wave detectors like eLISA require such a readout over a wide
range of MHz frequencies, due to orbit induced Doppler shifts, with a precision
in the order of at frequencies between
and . In this paper, we present phase
readout systems, so-called phasemeters, that are able to achieve such
precisions and we discuss various means that have been employed to reduce noise
in the analogue circuit domain and during digitisation. We also discuss the
influence of some non-linear noise sources in the analogue domain of such
phasemeters. And finally, we present the performance that was achieved during
testing of the elegant breadboard model of the LISA phasemeter, that was
developed in the scope of an ESA technology development activity.Comment: submitted to Review of Scientific Instruments on April 30th 201
Communication Subsystems for Emerging Wireless Technologies
The paper describes a multi-disciplinary design of modern communication systems. The design starts with the analysis of a system in order to define requirements on its individual components. The design exploits proper models of communication channels to adapt the systems to expected transmission conditions. Input filtering of signals both in the frequency domain and in the spatial domain is ensured by a properly designed antenna. Further signal processing (amplification and further filtering) is done by electronics circuits. Finally, signal processing techniques are applied to yield information about current properties of frequency spectrum and to distribute the transmission over free subcarrier channels
Arithmetic on a Distributed-Memory Quantum Multicomputer
We evaluate the performance of quantum arithmetic algorithms run on a
distributed quantum computer (a quantum multicomputer). We vary the node
capacity and I/O capabilities, and the network topology. The tradeoff of
choosing between gates executed remotely, through ``teleported gates'' on
entangled pairs of qubits (telegate), versus exchanging the relevant qubits via
quantum teleportation, then executing the algorithm using local gates
(teledata), is examined. We show that the teledata approach performs better,
and that carry-ripple adders perform well when the teleportation block is
decomposed so that the key quantum operations can be parallelized. A node size
of only a few logical qubits performs adequately provided that the nodes have
two transceiver qubits. A linear network topology performs acceptably for a
broad range of system sizes and performance parameters. We therefore recommend
pursuing small, high-I/O bandwidth nodes and a simple network. Such a machine
will run Shor's algorithm for factoring large numbers efficiently.Comment: 24 pages, 10 figures, ACM transactions format. Extended version of
