Operation of three-phase modular multilevel converter (MMC) with reduced number of arms
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2016 , Conference Paper)Conventional three-phase MMC consists of six-arms, each arm is controlled to generate unipolar voltage ranging from zero to Vdc where Vdc is the input DC voltage. Each arm voltage has two components (DC and AC components). ... -
Operational modeling of multistream heat exchangers with phase changes
( Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company , 2009 , Article)Multistream heat exchangers (MSHE) enable the simultaneous exchange of heat among multiple streams, and are preferred in cryogenic processes such as air separation and LNG. Most MSHEs are complex; proprietary and involve ... -
Operational neural networks
( Springer , 2020 , Article)Feed-forward, fully connected artificial neural networks or the so-called multi-layer perceptrons are well-known universal approximators. However, their learning performance varies significantly depending on the function ... -
Operationalizing transparency in supply chains using a systematic literature review and graph theoretic approach
( Emerald Publishing , 2024 , Article)Purpose: This study has two major objectives. First, comprehensively review the literature on transparency in supply chain management. Second, based on a critical analysis of literature, identify the attributes and ... -
