Electric power converters For various purposes electric power or electric energy is converted from

5V DC power should be supplied to PIC microcontroller which will be achieved by converting 230V AC into 5V DC. 230V AC is too high to be reduce. Therefore, stepdown transformer will be needed. Step down transformer will reduce the line voltage to certain voltage that will help us to convert 230V AC to 5V DC. In order

Managers at MKD claim to exercise ethical behavior toward their employees. Describe three (3) matters this behavior might cover.

It is observed that the power factor is maintained closer to unity when the input voltage is reduced from 230V to 110Vrms. Figure 11 (a) and (b) shows the power factor correction of controller for various load condition such as 20% (60W) and 75% (230W). The power factor for the system is found to be 0.84 for light load condition and 0.99 for full load condition. The THD of input current at full load with predominant third and fifth harmonic components are shown in Figure 12(a) and (b).Third harmonics is found to be 4.8% and fifth harmonic component is 4.9% which are well within IEC 61000-3-2 standard during wide range of load variations. The variation in power factor with load is shown graphically in Figure 13(a). It can be inferred from the graph that improved resettable control operates at high power factor for all load condition whereas the conventional PI control has poor power factor under light load conditions. Figure 13(b) shows the comparison between the efficiency of the converter for varying load conditions with the conventional control method and the resettable integrator control. The converter’s efficiency is maintained at 92% for light load conditions and 96% for fully loaded condition with integrator control technique. Thus the improved resettable integrator controller provides a very simple and reliable solution for power factor correction and

When I was younger, I was an extremely quiet kid and as a child and I was deathly afraid of needles. Well, I had to get a shot from the doctor that was pretty bad for the nurses and the doctor. Another time is when my mom could not find me and had to pull together a search party but I was in the back yard the whole time. These experiences shaped my life and I became me.

Sea turtles are another species which is drastically effected by longline fishing being caught as another bycatch. The two sea turtles who are accidentally caught more often are the loggerhead sea turtle and the leatherback sea turtle. Both of these sea turtles have been known to be on endangered lists and unless we can change our fishing methods these innocent organisms could be lost in the near future. In a study by R. Lewison, et al. (2004) they were able to estimate the regions which both of these sea turtles are caught in the world. The loggerhead sea turtle is accidentally caught more often in the regions of the Mediterranean and Pacific Ocean. The leatherback sea turtle is accidentally caught more in the Pacific and

This report aims to discuss the working of DC-AC converter for photovoltaic systems and how it has been implemented to convert renewable energy into usable power to be supplied to the load (power supply application).A topology of a two-stage DC-AC converter has been designed in which a boost converter and a full bridge inverter act as an interface between the photovoltaic (PV) array and the power supply applications. A controlled strategy called Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique has been used for achieving maximum power output at the load. Various modes of operation of the converter and the inverter are also discussed. MATLAB Simulink environment has been used for designing the circuitry and to observe various waveforms related to the output.

Now a day, photovoltaic (PV) energy system has attracted interest as a next generation energy source capable of solving the couple of problems caused by increasing energy consumption. Photovoltaic system avoids unnecessary fuel expenses, pollution or waste and no vibrations/ noises because the components of power

In recent years, Energy comes from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides and geothermal heat. These resources are renewable. Therefore, for all practical purposes, these resources can be considered to be unlimited, unlike dwindling conventional fossil fuels. The renewable energy sources are known to be much cleaner and produce energy without the harmful effects of pollution unlike their conventional counterparts. Solar energy is converted into electrical energy and the electrical power generation in PV systems is highly affected by the temperature and the insolation level which makes it impractical to directly connect them to the load without any storage devices or utility grid interface. The PV systems focused on the minimization of the installation costs and the maximization of the energy capture and conversion efficiency. In order to maximize the conversion efficiency, the PV system should be operated at its maximum power point (MPP). This power is supplied to the load using parallel power processing topology to reduce the amount of power processed through the converter and, hence, decrease the converter size and increase the efficiency by means of direct energy transfer (DET).The concept of the PPP topology is shown in Figure.

The choice of right type of converters for the different requirement in specific application has great influence on the optimum performance of the photovoltaic system. In last two decades, enormous developments have been taken place in the area of solar PV power generation. A large number of research publications in these areas have led to this persuasion of a critical review of the available literature. In particular, many inverter topologies have been introduced to incorporate several unique features, such as a) intrinsic boost capabilities, b) isolation, c) high efficiency, d) good power decoupling, e) dual grounding function, f) single stage solar power conversion capabilities, g) compact design and h) good power quality, for both

Power plants everywhere generate electricity by converting mechanical power such as the rotation of a turbine into electrical power. In a coal-fired steam station, the combustion of coal turns water into steam and the steam in turn drives turbine generators to produce electricity. Power plants today rely either on fossil fuels, nuclear fission, or renewable sources like hydro.
