El efecto moderador de la educación financiera en la relación entre las herramientas de toma de decisiones y los rendimientos de las acciones en el mercado secundario de acciones de la India

La toma de decisiones en el complejo mercado de valores es una tarea exigente dada la enorme cantidad de información disponible y la amplia gama de técnicas de toma de decisiones disponibles. La educación financiera de los inversores juega un papel destacado para influir en su proceso de toma de decisiones.

Application of Integrated Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) and Photovoltaic (PV) Solar Farm as STATCOM to Regulate Grid Voltage During Night Time

AbstractThis paper presents the integration of wind energy conversion system (WECS) with photovoltaic (PV) solar farm (SF) which acts as flexible ac transmission system controller-static synchronous compensator during night time, to regulate the point of common coupling voltage and to rectify faults when SF is not producing any active power. The proposed control will enable increased connections of WECS. MATLAB/Simulink based simulation results are presented for validation of the system
