Abstract:In the literature the concept of "independent" operation has been proposed to reduce the reactive power requirement of a series tap, provided that the tap consists of, at least, two (or two sets of) bridges in series. Alternatively, the overall magnitudes of certain characteristic harmonics may be reduced.In this paper, a new firing angle algorithm is presented, which, when used with two (or two sets of) series-connected bridges, enables reduced generation of certain characteristic harmonics. It is studied in … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
