when power systems are expanded and connected together with weak tie lines, the low-frequency oscillations are increased and the stability margin of the power system decreases. therefore, when designing the transmission system to be used, it is necessary to maintain the dynamic stability of the power system, and to make sure to have the most possible stability margin. sssc is a facts device con...

This paper presents modeling, simulation and control of matrix converter (MC) for variable speed wind turbine (VSWT) system including permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). At a given wind velocity, the power available from a wind turbine is a function of its shaft speed. In order to track maximum power, the MC adjusts the PMSG shaft speed.The proposed control system allowing independen...

Since the advent of evolution strategies many attempts have been done to improve the mutation operator [7]. The first enhancement could be seen in the introduction of a flexible step size. As a logical consequence later n step sizes, one per variable, were used. Highest flexibility is achieved with the correlated mutation but also quadratic growth of the number of strategy parameters [8]. A new...

In order to reduce the risk of complete failure, research managers often adopt a parallel strategy by simultaneously funding several R&D activities and several research teams within each activity. The parallel strategy requires the allocation of an available budget to a number of R&D activities, the determination of the number of research teams within each activity and the amount of funding the...

The Besley-Coate model of representative democracy has the problem of multiple equilibria (Besley-Coate, 1997). We show that requiring the Besley-Coate political equilibria to be iteratively undominated at the voting stage re nes the set of (pure strategy) political equilibrium outcomes only for those cases where at least four candidates stand for election. This note complements the results of ...

in this paper, a control strategy is proposed for control of ankle movement on animals using intraspinal microstimulation (isms). the proposed method is based on fuzzy logic control. fuzzy logic control is a methodology of intelligent control that mimics human decision-making process. this type of control method can be very useful for the complex uncertain systems that their mathematical model ...
