چکیده

We study a quality control problem in a two-stage system. We assume that at each stage units are processed in batches, and the rates are random variables with known distributions. Final products are supplied to customers under warranties or service contracts, with penalty costs associated with defective units. Our focus is on coordinating the inspection procedures at the two stages. Using a stochastic dynamic programming approach, we show that the optimal policy at stage 1 is characterized by a sequence of thresholds, and at stage 2, by a priority structure, as well as a threshold structure. The key to optimality is a so-called K-submodularity property, which is a strengthening of the usual notion of submodularity.

A Coordinated Control Scheme for Improving Voltage Quality Using Power Electronics Interfaced DGs

Recently, increasing of non-linear loads in the power distribution network has been increased harmonics in these networks. The harmonics problems get worse and complicated by installation of power factor correction capacitors and filters. But the Distributed Generations (DGs) interface inverters with properly control can help to improve power quality, harmonic compensation and voltage unbalance...

Compensation of Voltage and Current Harmonics in Hybrid Renewable Energy System Using Coordinated Power Control of RES Inverter

In this paper, an adaptive control strategy is proposed for the inverters of renewable energy source (RES) to simultaneously control the load voltage, grid current and the amount of instantaneous injected power to the grid in the presence of grid voltage distortions and nonlinearity of load current. In the proposed control strategy, the power quality of the local load can be settled based on th...

Monitoring Lognormal Reliability Data in a Two-Stage Process Using Accelerated Failure Time Model

The reliability data is getting used to monitor and improve the quality of products or services. Nowadays, most of products or services are the results of processes with dependent stages referred to as multi-stage process. In these processes, the quality characteristics are affected by the quality characteristics in the previous stages, called as cascade property. In some cases, it is not possi...

Coordinated Control of Doubley Fed Induction Generator Virtual Inertia and Power System Oscillation Damping Using Fuzzy Logic

Doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind turbines with traditional maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control provide no inertia response under system frequency events. Recently, the DFIG wind turbines have been equipped with virtual inertia controller (VIC) for supporting power system frequency stability. However, the conventional VICs with fixed gain have negative effects on inter-ar...
