Digital reconstructions and simulations of coke are valuable tools to analyse and test coke properties. We implement biased voxel iteration into a simulated annealing method via a kernel convolution to reduce the number of iterations required to generate a digital coke microstructure. We demonstrate that voxel connectivity assumptions impact the number of iterations and reduce the normalised computation time required to generate a digital microstructure by as much as 70%.

In this paper we analyze two types of non-regenerative singlephase asymmetric inverters, of 15 and 27 levels, where their quality of output voltage waveform (THD) and efficiency are analyzed. The latter will be focused on the commutation and conduction losses in the semiconductors. In such a way to be able to make a choice of the inverter considering these two indices.
