To determine its ohmic/voltage drop precisely, a current interruption technique was modified with a high frequency digital oscilloscope, current interrupters with fast switching time, an improved cell configuration and a simulation applied to the oscillating potential decay curve. The results show that the technique can give good reproducibility for overvoltage studies. A substantial increase of anodic overvoltage is observed with graphite powder addition, metallic aluminum addition and CO bubbling in the melts.展开更多

Therefore, the production, transport, and distribution systems together constitute an electricity network. The distribution networks are designed to deliver energy to consumers. Unacceptable voltage drops are observed in the distribution networks of developing countries such as Burkina Faso. A study was carried out on the distribution network of the city of Bobo-Dioulasso in Burkina Faso. It allowed for experimentation with the “Megger MPQ1000” network analyzer to evaluate the quality of the voltage supplied to households. To this end, tests were carried out in a public distribution station and at a few subscribers in the Sarfalao district of the city of Bobo-Dioulasso. These tests were used to assess the percentage of voltage drops. These values, which are higher than 8% of the nominal voltage, are not regulatory. The load curves of the consumers in the district were also drawn. Indeed, the period of the high load is between 19:00 and 23:00 Local Time (LT), while the period of the medium and low load is between 00:00 and 18:00 LT.展开更多

Using MEDICI, the physical parameter models applicable for SiGeC/Si heterojunction power diodes are given. The simulation results indicate that the diodes with graded doping concentration in the base region not only have the merit of fast and soft reverse recovery but also double reverse blocking voltage,and their forward conducting voltage has dropped to some extent,compared to the diodes with constant doping concentration in the base region. The new structure achieves a good trade-off in Qs-Vf-Ir ,and its combination of properties is superior to ideal ohmic contact diodes and conventional diodes.展开更多
