Data transformations and goodness-of-fit tests for type-II right censored samples
(Springer, 2015)We suggest several goodness-of-fit (GOF) methods which are appropriate with Type-II right censored data. Our strategy is to transform the original observations from a censored sample into an approximately i.i.d. sample ... -

DC power quality emulator
(IEEE, 2020)Currently, no dc power quality standards exist. The lack of dc power quality (PQ) standards can be addressed by, amongst others, evaluating the impact of PQ deviations on consumer end equipment. A voltage disturbance ... -
Dc-bus voltage balancing controllers for split dc-link four-wire inverters and their impact on the quality of the injected currents
(IET, 2017)The increasing share of single-phase distributed generation units in low-voltage grids causes voltage unbalance problems and overvoltages. Therefore, the need for power quality improving control strategies of grid-connected ... -
