Deriving Equation Using cftool Curve Fitting Tool of Matlab

Given a set of data points (say, X and Y), cftool toolbox of MATLAB can derive an equation that can best fit on the set of points. Type of fit can either be polynomial up to 9th degree, Fourier, exponential, and more. Read the rest of this entry »

The Advantages of DC Transmission over AC Transmission Systems

Currently, the transmission of electrical energy from bulk power generators all the way to household, commercial and industrial consumers is made mostly through high voltage alternating current (AC) transmission and distribution systems, and through a series of voltage transformations to reduce losses and minimize cost. Voltage levels used are of standard values.
