Effects of Restrictions during COVID-19 on Air Quality in India: An Opportunity to Reshape the Earth
Abstract: The massive increase in the human population, rapid industrialization, and growth in technology has made our life comfortable and luxurious. However, it has come with the price tag of extreme exploitation of our planet earth. Our species have pushed the planet earth against its carrying capacity, damaging the earth’s own restoration capacity to filter the harmful pollutants. One of the outbreaks of this is air pollution. Chronic exposure to air …

Performance Comparison of Control Approaches for Improving Power Quality by DSTATCOM
Abstract: Power quality is very important consideration for electrical supply system. A number of methods like active-passive filters, dynamic voltage restorer, distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) etc; are used to compensate the power quality problems like harmonics, voltage sag and swell, load balancing and others. This paper presents performance comparison of two control strategies used for DSTATCOM to mitigate the problems of harmonics in distribution network. The DSTATCOM, a shunt connected device …
