This paper proposes the application of a hierarchical fuzzy system (HFS) based on multi-input power system stabilizer (MPSS) in multi-machine environment. The number of rules increases exponentially with the number of variables in a standard fuzzy system. This problem is solved in the proposed HFS method. In this method, the total number of rules increases only linearly with the number of input...

In this paper, a new procedure to design Supplementary Damping Controllers (SDCs) for Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) devices is proposed. The control design problem is formulated as a search for a feasible controller subject to restrictions in the form of Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs). The main objective, from the application viewpoint, is the improvement of the da...

this paper investigates the use of self learning fuzzy PD controller applied to SVC device for improving damping inter-area modes of oscillations. The SLFLC utilizes sensitivity model for learning of SLFLC parameters. This has been enhanced by adding an integral term whose gain coefficient is also synthesized by learning that is actuated after completion of the main learning algorithm. The pape...

Nonlocal spin injection has been recognized as an efficient mechanism for creation of pure spin currents not tied to the electrical charge transfer. Here we demonstrate experimentally that it can induce coherent magnetization dynamics, which can be utilized for the implementation of novel microwave nano-sources for spintronic and magnonic applications. We show that such sources exhibit a small ...

The mechanism that causes an interdecadal oscillation in a coarse resolution sector ocean model forced by mixed boundary conditions is studied. The oscillation is characterized by large fluctuations in convective activity and air/sea heat exchange on a decadal time scale. When the convective activity is large, a strengthening of the southeastward surface flow advects more relatively fresh water...

In this paper the application of a hierarchical fuzzy system (HFS) based on MPSS and SVC in multi-machine environment is studied. Also the effect of communication lines active power variance signal between two ∆PTie-line regions, as one of the inputs of hierarchical fuzzy multi-input PSS and SVC (HFMPSS & SVC), on the increase of low frequency oscillation damping is examined. In the MPSS, to ha...

Fire is an ecologically significant process in the fire-prone ponderosa pine and mixed conifer forests of the northern Sierra Nevada. Fire regimes are influenced by processes that operate over a range of scales that can be grouped broadly as bottom-up (e.g., topography, forest type) or top-down (e.g., climate variation, human land use) controls. To identify the bottom-up versus top-down control...

in this article the relationship between the amount of seasonal rainfall (autumn, winter and spring) and climate indices in iran have been studied. the climate indices (the southern oscillation(soi),the north atlantic oscillation(nao), arctic oscillation(ao),nino 3/4,the multivariate enso index(mei),trans_ nino index(tni) and the pacific decadal oscillation(pdo) are used as independent variable...

In synthetic biology, we need not only to design the basic functional modules, but also to understand the parameters of the designed modules. In this area, the existing theoretical result about periodic oscillation is difficult to achieve. We study the Piecewise Linear three-gene regulatory network with negative feedback loop to show how to control the periodic oscillation.
