Supercapacitor-Battery Hybridization to Prevent Battery Life for Pulsed Load Applications
Abstract: Management of power in the pulsed load applications has become a significant issue when it comes to the battery backup systems. For the pulsed load applications, deep discharge of the battery and battery health problems are very well known. In this paper, an attempt is made to overcome these key challenges by connecting a high power density device, ultracapacitor (super capacitor) in parallel with the battery. The role of ultracapacitor …

Electromagnetic Transients and Frequency Characteristics of a Loaded Horizontal Conductor above Lossy Earth
Abstract: This paper addresses the electromagnetic transients and the frequency characteristics of a thin conductor horizontally suspended above lossy earth. The analysis takes into consideration the receiving-end termination and the earth parameters. The effect of the ground return is represented by incorporating the concept of the complex penetration depth in the formulation of the line’s equations in the s-domain. The resulting simultaneous differential equations governing the voltage and current are solved …

Application of Dynamic Phasor Model as an Alternative to DFT in Phasor Measurement
Abstract: This paper presents the application of dynamic phasor based models as an alternative to the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) commonly used in the Phasor Measurement Units (PMU). The paper demonstrates that the computation of a phasor using DFT in discrete time domain is equivalent to the computation of phasor (Dynamic Phasor) in continuous time domain. This paper proposes the application of dynamic phasor based models to simulate a Wide Area …
