A High-Performance SPWM Controller for Three-Phase UPS Systems Operating Unde...ijiert bestjournal
The increased use of rectifiers in critical loads employed by the information technologies,and medical and military equipment mandate the design of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) with high- quality outputs. The highly nonlinear currents drawn especially by high-power single-phase rectifier loads greatly distort the uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) outputs. The distorted uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) voltages cause generation of low dc voltage at the output of the rectifier loads,which causes high current flow,increased power losses,and possibly the malfunction of the critical load or the uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). As a result,different harmonics mitigating techniques have gained a lot of attention. The main objective of this project is to develop simulation of a high-performance Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique based AC-DC converter system operating under highly nonlinear loads using MATLAB/SIMULINK. Here,controlled Insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) based AC-DC converter is used to supply the load instead of Diode or Thyristor Bridge. The pulse width modulation method is quite effective in controlling the root mean square (RMS) magnitude of the AC-DC converter output voltages and shape of input current. This enables automatic harmonic compensation by Rectifier itself.
This document discusses power factor and methods for improving it. It defines power factor as the ratio of active power to apparent power. Low power factor is caused by inductive devices and indicates inefficient electricity use. Correcting power factor through capacitors can provide benefits like increased plant capacity and reduced utility charges. Capacitors work by opposing inductive lagging current. They can be installed at individual equipment, equipment groups, or at the main service, with various tradeoffs to consider. Harmonic distortion from devices like variable speed drives can also impact power quality if not properly addressed.

"Scaling RAG Applications to serve millions of users", Kevin GoedeckeFwdays
How we managed to grow and scale a RAG application from zero to thousands of users in 7 months. Lessons from technical challenges around managing high load for LLMs, RAGs and Vector databases.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

5. FORCE working Principals (cont’d)
• The major material is EMF-7 which is made of Nano-sized mineral materials.
• EMF-7 has the special characteristic generating small amount of surplus negative electrons
through electro-chemical reaction.
• The surplus negative electron is introduced into the electrical system thereby stabilizing
electron balance. And increasing the electron density.
• The surplus negative electron (reduces electric cable’s resistance, 0.1mA) immediately
diminishes leakage, and harmonic distortion.

transfer and flow.
7. FORCE working principals (cont’d)
Diminish Impedance; Improvement Principle
• Minimizes the power wasting by reducing Impedance. The value of I is influenced by R(Resistance) and the actual alternating
current electricity the value of Impedance give influence over the phase difference at the value of I and the alternating voltage.
• Impedance presents problems with the electron flow at alternating current circuit.
• As the complex number, the real income in part is the resistance and the imaginary quantity in part is reactance and is the
vector that can present the size as well as the phase.
• The complex number Z = R + 1/jwc + jwL (j is the imaginary number)
• In case of high frequency, the FORCE increases the phase gap of the load. The power saving system of FORCE reduces
resistance by the high speed surplus negative electron.
• The FORCE power saving system provides the stability and restores balance. The surplus negative electron is similar to a
special Task Force.
• Besides the electron wave of 50Hz~60Hz at the electric line, the various waves such as low frequency, extremely low
frequency, harmonic distortion and high frequency interrupt the sine wave which results in loss of efficiency.
• FORCE is an entirely new technology and is very different from current competing technology that are on the market which use
condenser, capacitors and transformers.
• The conducting resistance at the end load is reduced thereby diminishing the level of heat occurrence.
• FORCE affects the devices which cause Harmonic Distortion and High Frequency because of the EMI shielding effect of
FORCE elements.

8. FORCE Pilot Process
Before installation of FORCE
• Install Power Analyzer or Power Meter to Main or sub panel where FORCE is to be
installed and obtain all power consumption details such as Power Factor, Harmonics,
High/Low Frequencies, KW, KVA, etc. for a period of two weeks. This is very important for
final comparison as well as FORCE product size determination.
• All of the information obtained will be converted into excel format to easily generate
graphs, source data is never changed and will always be available to Customer.
After installation of FORCE
• Install FORCE and Power Meter to same panel as described above.
• Obtain all power consumption details such as Power Factor, Harmonics, High/Low
Frequencies, KW, KVA, etc. for a period of two months.
• All of the gathered information is converted into excel format to easily generate
graphs
• Compare all the data gathered by Power Meter before and after installing FORCE and
generate graphs for easy savings demonstration and explanation.
