Techno-economic and environmental analysis of community energy management for peak shaving (2021)
Journal Article

Energy storage (ES) is seen as the key to unlocking the true potential of renewable generation as it potentially supports their integration into the grid by providing capability for services such balancing and frequency regulation. It also has the po... Read More about Techno-economic and environmental analysis of community energy management for peak shaving.

The Effect of Spread Spectrum Modulation for a Buck Converter Coupled with a Single Wired Communication Link (2021)
Conference Proceeding

This paper explores the effect of using a Spread Spectrum modulation technique with a Buck Converter on a communication cable coupled at the input voltage. The EMI created by the switching of the power converter generates damped oscillations on the d...

A compensated impedance based ground fault locator for an unearthed power system (2021)
Conference Proceeding

Continuous operation of a power system during a ground fault can be achieved by employing either a High Resistance Grounded (HRG) power source or a floating power source. However, if a second ground fault occurs in the system it can cause significant... Read More about A compensated impedance based ground fault locator for an unearthed power system.

Comparison of Frequency Transform Methods for Condition Monitoring of a DC-Link Capacitor (2021)
Conference Proceeding

Electrolytic capacitors continue to be used for the DC-link in motor drive systems due to their high specific capacitance. The degradation of electrolytic capacitors can lead to increased equivalent series resistances (ESR) and reduction in capacitan...
