Investigating the impact of ferrite magnetic cores on the performance of supercapacitor assisted surge absorber (SCASA) technique
(IEEE, 2019)Supercapacitor assisted surge absorber (SCASA) is a patented technique developed by the University of Waikato. One noticeable attribute of this design is the inclusion of a coupledinductor which improves its capability ... -
Permeance based model for the coupled-inductor utilized in the supercapacitor assisted surge absorber (SCASA) and its experimental validation
(IEEE, 2020)Transient-surge absorption capability of small/low cost supercapacitors (SCs) is already published. SCASA is a patented technique that led to the development of a high performance commercial surge protector which adheres ... -
Supercapacitor assisted surge absorber (SCASA) technique: selection of magnetic components based on permeance
(IEEE, 2021)Supercapacitors help building long time constant resistor-capacitor circuits. This property helps them withstand high voltage transient surges and dissipate transient energy in the resistive element of the circuit without ... -
Impact of Climate change on Tourism in Sri Lanka: An Investigation
(2015)Tourism is the act and process of spending time away from home in pursuit of recreation, relaxation, and pleasure, while making use of the commercial provision of services. It is further identified as a product of modern ... -
Mind the Gaps
(University of Canterbury. Electrical and Computer EngineeringUniversity of Canterbury. Electric Power Engineering Centre, 2016)The word “diversity” is well adopted and celebrated by globally successful companies including Google and Apple who claim that diversity inspires innovation. The New Zealand electricity supply industry supports a number ... -
Systems to Implement Demand Response in New Zealand
(2014)According to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Demand Response (DR) is defined as: “Changes in electric usage by end-use customers from their normal consumption patterns in response to changes in the price of ... -
Review of Distributed Generation Interconnection Standards
(2014)Grid operators, worldwide, are experiencing higher distributed generation penetration levels. This new paradigm is starting to show its effects and in order to maintain the safety and reliability of the network, most ... -
Electric Vehicles in New Zealand: Technologically challenged
(2013)In conclusion, the key barrier to improved EV performance, lower costs and increased market uptake is their technology and, in particular, current generation lithium-ion batteries. Unless existing battery chemistries are ... -
Electrical Vehicle Storage Technologies and Range
(2017)Information regarding electric vehicles is not always clearly and accurately portrayed to the general public. This paper provides a holistic view of the worldwide vehicle market, focussing on the current and future ... -
Technology Choices for an Evolving Power System
(2019)Electrification of processes and transition towards 100% renewable generation is considered instrumental for achievement of a low emission future and this can be fuelled by enabling technologies. New Zealand and Australia, ... -
There is potential for pumped hydro energy storage in New Zealand
(University of Canterbury, 2019)The decarbonisation of New Zealand’s energy system will increase demand for electricity at the same time as fossil fuelled generation is phased out. Maintaining balance in the power system will become increasingly difficult ...
