Surface Modified Abaca Fibers: Physico-Mechanical, Morphological and Degradation Properties Evaluation
Abstract: Lignocellulosic fibers are used as cost-cutting fillers in plastics factories. Amid several factors, the ultimate performance of composite ingredients depends on the bond between the matrix resin and the filler, and hence on the quality of the interface. To acquire optimal performance of the end product, adequate interaction between the matrix and the lignocellulosic ingredient is preferred. This is often acquired through surface modification of the matrix or filler. Abaca …

Artificial Neural Network Based SVC Switching At Distribution System for Minimal Injected Harmonics
Abstract: Electrical distribution system grieves from various problems like reactive power burden, unbalanced loading, voltage regulation and harmonic distortion. However DSTATCOMS are ideal solutions for such systems, they are not popular because of the cost and complexity of control involved. Phase wise balanced reactive power compensations are essential for fast changing loads needing dynamic power factor correcting devices leading to terminal voltage stabilization. Static Var Compensators (SVCs) remain ideal choice for …
