A new evolutionary search algorithm based on improved Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) is introduced in this study to estimate the phasor. The performance has been evaluated through extensive simulations considering transient components, harmonics, and frequency changes in noiseless and noisy conditions.

Abstract Microstructure homogeneity and grain size reduction are needed to ensure the current uniformity and reliability required in metal oxide varistors for DC circuit breakers. Cold sintering (CS)–a low‐temperature digestive liquid and high‐pressure densification process–has previously shown reduced grain growth, but it is not clear how the lower ...

The Role of Polypyrrole in Electrical Properties of ZnO-Polymer Composite Varistors [PDF]
Composite films on the base of ZnO with different weight percentages of polypyrrole have been prepared using the hot pressing method and their current-voltage characteristics have been studied. Results show that the films have nonlinear varistor behavior

Concept Proof of Voltage Suppression across IGBT Application for Fuse‐Current‐Limiting Hybrid DCCBs
Abstract DC power systems require reliable and cost‐effective DC circuit breakers (DCCBs). In a previous study, we introduced a hybrid DCCB featuring a current‐limiting fuse, insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), and a varistor connected in parallel.

The voltage distribution along the non-linear resistance of metal oxide surges is of great importance for their proper operation, since the non-uniform potential distribution results in higher thermal stresses of the varistor discs near the high voltage ...

Abstract This study focuses on the distribution of high‐resistance media (pores and spinels) within ZnO $\text{ZnO}$ varistors and explores the mechanical and electrical failure mechanisms of varistors under different pulse actions. Micro‐CT technology revealed that the proportion of high‐resistance media in the edge area is much higher than in the ...
