Abstract: There is disclosed new topology for an Electronic Voltage Regulator (EVR) which can apply additive or subtractive (aka boost or buck) voltages to compensate for an increase or decrease in system voltages. This regulator employs a ladder of power capacitors which are in series and connected across the input voltage to apply different levels of voltages to a controlled or regulated transformer. Considering this, the proposed EVR can be utilized as a replacement for conventional electromechanical type on-load tap changers or (OLTCs) commonly used in power transformers, and meant to compensate voltage changes in a system. Electromechanical tap changers have some significant issues, such as defined time durations when switching to different taps, as determined by the spring-loaded mechanism's operation; a high malfunction rate due to mechanical switching when causing arcing, and thereby decreasing the operating lifetime of transformers.

Abstract: A growth predictor includes a monitor, a prediction engine, and a prioritization engine. The monitor receives or generates first information of a network already identified as a candidate money laundering (ML) network by an anti-money-laundering system. The prediction engine predicts second information indicative of a growth size of the ML network at a future time based on the first information. The prediction engine executes one or more predictive models to generate the second information indicative of growth size based on the first information, which indicates one or more changes that have occurred in the candidate ML network over a past period of time. The prioritization engine determines a priority of the candidate ML network based on the second information.
