Modulation and control strategies for neutral-point-clamped converters by Beniwal, Neha

“…NPC converters are widely employed in grid integration of renewable energy sources like solar and wind energy, high-power motor drives, shunt active power filters, etc. The NPC converters suffer from challenges such as, the subsequent increase in switching losses while controlling the capacitor voltage (CV) ripples, neutral-point (NP) voltage instability arising in the presence of nonlinear loads enriched in even-order harmonics, and the divergence of CVs in the presence of nonzero average NP current. …”

Self-healing cementitious composites by encapsulation techniques by Feng, Jianhang

“…In the meanwhile, immobilized bacterial spores could revive then present high urease activities. Hence, after cracking of cementitious composites, immobilized endospores induced more calcium carbonate, which led to higher crack width reductions, more recovery in compressive strength and restoration in thermal conductivity, which could be associated with the precipitation at expanded graphite/cement matrix interfaces. …”
