Impact of Pollution Location on Time and Frequency Characteristics of Leakage Current of Porcelain Insulator String under Different Humidity and Contamination Severity

M. Mirzaie; A. Azizi Tousi

Volume 1, Issue 2 , November 2013, Pages 74-83

Abstract
  One of the important factors influencing outdoor insulators performance is pollution phenomenon. The pollution, especially during humidity condition, reduces superficial resistance of insulator and lead to a flow of Leakage Currents (LC) on the insulator surface, which may result in total flashover. ...  Read More

Flexible Power Electronic Transformer for Power Flow Control Applications

J. Fallah Ardeshir; A. Ajami; A. Jalilvand; A. Mohammadpour

Volume 1, Issue 2 , November 2013, Pages 147-155

Abstract
  This paper proposes a Flexible Power Electronic Transformer (FPET) for the application in the micro-grids. The low frequency transformer is usually used at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) to connect the low voltage grid and utility network to each other. The conventional 50Hz transformer results in ...  Read More
