Ameren Transmission Co. LLC has energized the first two of four innovative upgrades to ensure its grid remains stable during the utility’s transition to clean energy sources. Known as static ...

Using voltage data down to the consumer level is essential for grid optimisation and operational flexibility in the new era of intermittent generation and fast-changing user demand. Power grids were ...

In early 2006, KCP&L executives looked for ways to reduce system peak demand. The distribution automation engineering group proposed a voltage reduction option called dynamic voltage control (DVC).

The LinkSwitch-CV dramatically simplifies CV power supply design with tight CV requirements and by eliminating an optocoupler and secondary control circuitry. The device introduces a revolutionary ...

Experimenting with an HF oscillator, I needed to control the varactor diode voltage in precise increments over a 2V-10V range. A buffered potentiometer was the obvious choice, and connecting two pots ...

Deep integration of solar photovoltaic (PV) generation in power distribution systems may cause voltage stability issues. The resultant voltage fluctuations can over-stress legacy voltage regulation ...

THE problems which arise in connexion with maintaining the voltage of supply constant in electrical distributing systems have been closely studied by electrical engineers during recent years. The ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. A common project requirement is to have an adjustable voltage regulator programmed to deliver a specific dc output.

The simplest of fan-control schemes — an on-off switch — is simple but inefficient, because it provides more cooling than necessary most of the time. When on, the fully powered switch-controlled fan ...
