Optimal sizing of C-type passive filters under non-sinusoidal conditions
In the literature, much attention has been focused on power system harmonics. One of its important effects is degradation of the load power factor. In this article, a C-type filter is used for reducing harmonic distortion, improving system performance, and compensating reactive power in order to improve the load power factor while taking into account economic considerations. Optimal sizing of the C-type filter parameters based on maximization of the load power factor as an objective function is determined. The total installation cost of the C-type filter and that of the conventional shunt (single-tuned) passive filter are comparatively evaluated. Background voltage and load current harmonics are taken into account. Recommendations defined in IEEE standards 519-1992 and 18-2002 are taken as the main constraints in this study. The presented design is tested using four numerical cases taken from previous publications, and the proposed filter results are compared with those of other published techniques. The results validate that the performance of the C-type passive filter as a low-pass filter is acceptable, especially in the case of lower short-circuit capacity systems. The C-type filter may achieve the same power factor with a lower total installation cost than a single-tuned passive filter
The floriculture industry in Malta
The floriculture industry in Malta is relatively small when compared to that
of other European countries. However, despite several constraints, a number of
growers deal exclusively with the production of floriculture products for local use.
In the early 1970s, a locally based company was much involved in the export of
floricultural products to the United Kingdom. This year (2002), four local growers
initiated the growing and export of gladioli flowers to Italy.peer-reviewe
Exact renormalisation group flow for ultracold Fermi gases in unitary limit
We study the exact renormalisation group flow for ultracold Fermi-gases in
unitary regime. We introduce a pairing field to describe the formation of the
Cooper pairs, and take a simple ansatz for the effective action. Set of
approximate flow equations for the effective couplings including boson and
fermionic fluctuations is derived. At some value of the running scale, the
system undergoes a phase transition to a gapped phase. The values of the energy
density, chemical potential, pairing gap and the corresponding proportionality
constants relating the interacting and non-interacting Fermi gases are
calculated. Standard mean field results are recovered if we omit the boson
loops.Comment: 11 pages, Revtex, misprints corrected, references and comments adde
