Through the chang...For improving the energy efficiency of plasma volatile organic compounds( VOCs) decomposition, a pulse modulated power is used to drive the dielectric barrier discharge( DBD) plasma to treat benzene. Through the change of pulse duty cycle,the pulse modulation effect on benzene removal energy efficiency was investigated. The results show that pulse modulation can improve the energy yield and reduce the temperature of the chamber wall. There is an optimal duty cycle for achieving the maximum energy yield at a certain discharge voltage. The effect of initial benzene concentration on the decomposition efficiency and carbon selectivity in pulse modulation plasma were studied. The results indicate that the removal efficiency and carbon balance increase with the specific input energy( SIE) and decrease with the concentration. The energy yield increases with increasing initial concentration and achieves maximum around 180 J / L SIE for all initial concentrations.展开更多

The best electrical power supply must provide a constant magnitude and frequency voltage. Therefore, good power quality is an important factor for the reliable operation of electrical loads in a power system. However, the current drawn by most of electronic devices and non-linear loads are non-sinusoidal, which can result in a poor power quality, especially in off-grid power systems. Poor power quality is characterized by electrical disturbances such as transients, sags, swells, harmonics and even interruptions in the power supply. Off-grid power systems worldwide often struggle with system failures and equipment damage due to poor power quality. In this paper, MAT- LAB/Simulink is used to model and analyses power quality in an off-grid renewable energy system. The results show high voltage transient when the inductive loads were switched OFF. The voltage and current harmonics are also determined and compared for various types of loads.展开更多

The current state of wind turbine generators are discussed and compared in some criteria along with the trends in the current WECS market, which are ‘Variable Speed’, ‘Multi-MW’ and ‘Offshore’. In addition, the other crucial component in the WECS, PECs will be discussed with its topologies available in the current WECS market along with their modulation strategies. Moreover, three main issues of the WECS associating with the grid-connection, fault-ride through (FRT) capability, harmonics/interharmonics emission and flicker, which are the power quality issues, will be discussed due to the increasing responsibility of WECS as utility power station. Some key findings from the review such as the attractiveness of BDFRG are presented in the conclusion of this paper.展开更多

To suppress the tail modulation in SBS pulse compression, proper attenuators, which can control the pump energy within a rational range, are added in a generator-amplifier setup. The experimental result shows that the effective energy conversion efficiency triples when the pump energy reaches 700 m J to 51%, compared with the conventional generator-amplifier setup.展开更多
