What is Equivalent Resistance?The equivalent resistance is defined as a point where the total resistance is measured in a parallel or series circuit (in either the whole circuit or in a part of the circuit). The equivalent resistance is defined between two terminals or nodes of the network. Equivalent resistance may sound complicated, but it’s just a technical way to say “total resistance”.In the equivalent resistance of a network, a single resistor could substitute the complete network so that

These are the questions which come in our minds every time when we are dealing with AC circuits.Suppose, we have a simple DC circuit (figure – 1) and we want to replicate it in an AC circuit. We got every thing same, except supply voltage which is now to be an AC supply voltage. Now, the question is what should be the value of AC supply voltage so that our circuit works exactly same as that of DC.Let us put same value of AC supply voltage (AC Vpeak = 10 volt) which is in our DC circuit. By doing

A novel PET for a distribution grid called a flexible power distribution unit is proposed in this paper, and the energy exchange mechanism between the network and the load is revealed. A 30 kW 600 VAC/220 VAC/110 VDC medium-frequency isolated prototype is developed and demonstrated. This paper also presents key control strategies of the PET for electrical distribution grid applications, especially under grid voltage disturbance conditions. Moreover, stability issues related to the grid-connec

This article addresses this gap by presenting a comprehensive review of common dc-link MLCs, covering their topological evolution, features, topologies comparison, modulation techniques, control strategies, and industrial application areas. Additionally, future perspectives and recommendations are discussed to provide researchers and engineers with a better understanding of the potential applications and advantages of these converters.1.Introduction. Considering the major evolutionary stages o

Current is often measured directly using a data acquisition (DAQ) device.DAQ devices that measure voltage, on the other end, are frequently more easily accessible to the user.This method necessitates converting the current to voltage in order for the voltage DAQ device to read the signal.This can be accomplished with an electrical shunt, but it needs a system having a high input impedance. Calculations using established formulas are also required to determine the optimal shunt to use.Input Imped

This paper proposes a novel configuration of a dual UPQC supplied by a dual photovoltaic (PV), hereinafter referred to as 2UPQC-2PV,to improve the power quality performance of a single-phase 220 V/50 Hz distribution system. The 2UPQC-2PV configuration is proposed to anticipate the possible failure of both inverters in one of the UPQC circuits. The PV array replaces the DC-link capacitor to maintain its voltage connected to the DC-link of the UPQC constant while at the same time supplying active

This paper reviews and analyses the design of popular radio frequency energy harvesting systems and proposes a method to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze their circuit architectures using new square-wave approximation method. This approach helps in simplifying design analysis. Using this analysis, we can establish no load output voltage characteristics, upper limit on rectifier efficiency, and maximum power characteristics of a rectifier. This paper will help guide the design of RF energ

Target detection and field surveillance are among the most prominent applications of wireless sensor networks. However, the sensing capabilities of sensors are affected by environmental factors in real deployment. This paper investigates the problem of detecting probability in a log-normal shadow fading environment. It presents an analytic method to evaluate the detection probability by at least k sensors under practical considerations. Furthermore, we also shows that shadow fading makes signifi
