It shows that the origin and termination times of the GW, as well as its location and intensity, have significant interarmual variability. The GW appeared earliest (latest) in 2004 (2008) and vanished ear- liest (latest) in 2006 (2001), with the shortest (longest) duration in 2008 (2001). Its center was most southward (northward) in 2007 (1995), while the minimum (maximum) amplitude and area occurred in 2003 and 2002 (1997 and 2007), respectively. The GW was weaker and disappeared earlier with its location tending to be in the southwest in 2003, while in 2005 it was stronger, van- ished later and tended to be in northeast. The abnormal years were often not the same among different characters of the GW, and were not all coincident with ENSO (El Nifio-Southern Oscillation) or IOD (Indian Ocean Dipole) events, indicating the very com- plex nature of GW variations. Mechanism investigations shows that the interannual variability of intraseasonal wind stress curl in GW region results in that of the GW. The generation of the GW is coincident with the arrival of Rossby waves at the Somali coast in spring; the intensity of the GW is also influenced by Rossby waves. The termination of the GW corresponds well to the second one of the top two peaks in the baroclinic energy conversion rate in GW region, and the intensity and the position of the GW are also closely related to the top two baroclinic energy conversion rates.展开更多

For power quality improvement, the CC-VSI works as a grid current-controller shunt active power filter. Then, the PV array supported by the Hill- Climbing maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller is coupled to the DC bus of the CC-VSI. The output of the MPPT controller is a DC voltage that determines the DC-bus voltage according to the PV maximum power. From computer simulation results, the CC-VSI is able to compensate for the harmonic and reactive power as well as to extract the PV maximum power.展开更多
