This paper proposes the improved group search optimization algorithm for optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD). The ORPD problem is a non-linear, non-convex optimization problem which has various decision variables such as the compensation capacitors proportions, voltages of generators and the tap position of tap changing transformers. In this paper the multi-objective ORPD considering loss and […]
Switched Boost Inverter (SBI) operates in buck-boost mode with an extensive spectrum of output voltage obtainable from a specific source voltage. Also, this structure provides superior protection against Electromagnetic Wave Interference (EMI) juxtaposed with the traditional impedance source inverter. The number of energy storage elements in this structure has been reduced, which increases the efficiency […]
A double-coupled isolated inductor-based high step-down DC-DC converter is proposed in this work. This converter employs two windings on the secondary section of every coupled coil within a single core which enhances the utilization factor of the core. As the primary section voltage of the second coil is reduced, the leakage inductance and turn ratio […]
