    application in low-voltage, high-power traction applications have been introduced [3]-[5]. In these applications, the three-level inverters often need to operate with modulation indices (m) lower than 0.5 [6]- [10]. Additionally, at lower modulation indices, traction drives operating with induction motors (IMs), interior permanent magnet motors (IPMs) or synchronous reluctance motors (SynRMs) may need to provide higher reactive power, thus operating with a lower power factor (pf) [9], [11]-…

    Wind power has been used in Australia ever since the first wind farm was opened in Esperance, WA in 1987. Since then, an additional 76 farms have been constructed all around the country and currently provide 5% of the nation’s power (David Clarke, 2012). It is a form of renewable energy that uses a strong flow of air to rotate three large blades connected to a generator to produce electricity. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power (energy.gov, 2014). Compared…

    The invented tubes can store hydrogen in a better way in terms of security and efficiency. With respect to the annual production of hydrogen fuel, transportation of hydrogen to the refueling stations is a major challenge, but with the recent comprehensive research by NREI, transporting energy to the stations is made possible by the mixture of both hydrogen and natural gas in the natural gas pipelines, and this comes with a low mixing rates of 3% to 5%. And due to this mixture, the emission of…
