Efficiency and multisimultaneous-frequency (MSF) output capability are two major criteria characterizing the performance of a power amplifier in the application of multifrequency eddy current testing (MECT). Switch-mode power amplifiers are known to have a very high efficiency, yet they have rarely been adopted in the instrumental development of MECT. In addition, switch-mode power amplifiers themselves are lacking in the research literature for MSF capability. In this article, a Class D power amplifier is designed so as to address the two issues. An MSF selective harmonic elimination pulsewidth modulation method is proposed to generate alternating magnetic fields, which are rich in selected harmonics. A field-programmable-gate-array-based experimental system has been developed to verify the design. Results show that the proposed methodology is capable of generating high MSF currents in the transmitting coil with a low distortion of signal.

Location of non-stationary forced oscillation (FO) sources can be a challenging task, especially in cases under resonance condition with natural system modes, where the magnitudes of the oscillations could be greater in places far from the source. Th
erefore, it is of interest to construct a global time-frequency (TF) representation (TFR) of the system, which can capture the oscillatory components present in the system. In this paper we develop a systematic methodology for frequency identification and component filtering of non-stationary power system forced oscillations (FO) based on multi-channel TFR. The frequencies of the oscillatory components are identified on the TF plane by applying a modified ridge estimation algorithm. Then, filtering of the components is carried out on the TF plane applying the anti-transform functions over the individual TFRs around the identified ridges. This step constitutes an initial stage for the application of the Dissipating Energy Flow (DEF) method used to locate FO sources. Besides, we compare three TF approaches: short-time Fourier transform (STFT), STFT-based synchrosqueezing transform (FSST) and second order FSST (FSST2). Simulated signals and signals from real operation are used to show that the proposed method provides a systematic framework for identification and filtering of power systems non-stationary forced oscillations.
The need for Enhanced Frequency Response (EFR) is expected to increase significantly in future low-carbon Great Britain (GB) power system. One way to provide EFR is to use power electronic compensators (PECs) for point-of-load voltage control (PVC) t
o exploit the voltage dependence of loads. This paper investigates the techno-economic feasibility of such technology in future GB power system by quantifying the total EFR obtainable through deploying PVC in the urban domestic sector, the investment cost of the installment and the economic and environmental benefits of using PVC. The quantification is based on a stochastic domestic demand model and generic medium and low-voltage distribution networks for the urban areas of GB and a stochastic unit commitment (SUC) model with constraints for secure post-fault frequency evolution is used for the value assessment. Two future energy scenarios in the backdrop of 2030 with `smart and `non-smart control of electric vehicles and heat pumps, under different levels of penetration of battery energy storage system (BESS) are considered to assess the value of PEC, as well as the associated payback period. It is demonstrated that PVC could effectively complement BESS towards EFR provision in future GB power system.
This article describes the design methodology to achieve reflective diode-based parametric frequency selective limiters (pFSLs) with low power thresholds ($P_{th}$) and sub-dB insertion-loss values ($IL^{s.s}$) for driving power levels ($P_{in}$) low
er than $P_{th}$. In addition, we present the measured performance of a reflective pFSL designed through the discussed methodology and assembled on a FR-4 printed circuit board (PCB). Thanks to its optimally engineered dynamics, the built pFSL can operate around $sim$2.1 GHz while exhibiting record-low $P_{th}$ (-3.4 dBm) and $IL^{s.s}$ (0.94 dB) values. Furthermore, while the pFSL can selectively attenuate undesired signals with power ranging from -3.4 dBm to 13 dBm, it provides a strong suppression level (IS > 12.0 dB) even when driven by much higher $P_{in}$ values approaching 28 dBm. Such measured performance metrics demonstrate how the unique nonlinear dynamics of parametric-based FSLs can be leveraged through components and systems compatible with conventional chip-scale manufacturing processes in order to increase the resilience to electromagnetic interference (EMI), even of wireless radios designed for a low-power consumption and consequently characterized by a narrow dynamic range.
This paper discusses a novel fault location approach using single ended measurement. The natural dissipation of the circuit parameters are considered for fault location. A relationship between the damped natural frequency of oscillation of the transm
ission line current and fault location is established in this paper. The hybrid dc circuit breaker (dcCB) interrupts the fault current and the line current attenuates under the absence of any driving voltage source. The line capacitance discharges into the fault at a specific frequency of oscillation and rate of attenuation. Utilizing this information, the fault location in a multi-terminal direct current (MTdc) network can be predicted. A three terminal radial model of a MTdc is used for performance evaluation of the proposed method using Power System Computer Aided Design (PSCAD)/Electromagnetic Transients including dc (EMTdc).
Atmospheric propagation effects at millimeter wavelengths can significantly alter the phases of radio signals and reduce the coherence time, putting tight constraints on high frequency Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations. In previou
s works, it has been shown that non-dispersive (e.g. tropospheric) effects can be calibrated with the frequency phase transfer (FPT) technique. The coherence time can thus be significantly extended. Ionospheric effects, which can still be significant, remain however uncalibrated after FPT as well as the instrumental effects. In this work, we implement a further phase transfer between two FPT residuals (i.e. so-called FPT-square) to calibrate the ionospheric effects based on their frequency dependence. We show that after FPT-square, the coherence time at 3 mm can be further extended beyond 8~hours, and the residual phase errors can be sufficiently canceled by applying the calibration of another source, which can have a large angular separation from the target (>20 deg) and significant temporal gaps. Calibrations for all-sky distributed sources with a few calibrators are also possible after FPT-square. One of the strengths and uniqueness of this calibration strategy is the suitability for high-frequency all-sky survey observations including very weak sources. We discuss the introduction of a pulse calibration system in the future to calibrate the remaining instrumental effects and allowing the possibility of imaging the source structure at high frequencies with FPT-square, where all phases are fully calibrated without involving any additional sources.
