With the change in the wind profile, the speed of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) of wind energy conversion system (WECS) changes from super synchronous to sub synchronous range and vice versa. DFIG is operated to generate quality power; hence, power at rotor side is controlled using matrix converter taking power from grid and feeding back power to the grid depending on the wind profile. ...

Periods of matrix power sequences in max-drast fuzzy algebra and methods of their computation are considered. Matrix power sequences occur in the theory of complex fuzzy systems with transition matrix in max-t algebra, where t is a given triangular fuzzy norm. Interpretation of a complex system in max-drast algebra reflects the situation when extreme demands are put on the reliability of the sy...

This paper presents a novel sparse matrix converter configuration that needs no bulky energy storage capacitors or inductors, and employs only unidirectional power semiconductor switches. The source side bridge is switched at the line frequency and therefore, this allows the use of the low speed high power rating switches. This feature and the use of diode-clamped multilevel topology at the out...

The paper describes a variable speed wind generation system where fuzzy logic principles are used for light load efficiency improvement and optimization. A squirrel cage induction generator feeds the power to an improved topology of matrix converter which pumps power to a utility grid or can supply to an autonomous system. The power factor at the interface with the grid is controlled by the mat...

gears are one of the most critical components in power transmission system of an automobile and also many rotating machinery. many studies have been conducted on optimum gear design. the main objective is to design different aluminium metal matrix composite spur gears before and after optimization. aluminium metal matrix material composites are preferred mostly due to their low density. also th...

this paper presents the application of the matching pursuit method to model synchronous generator. this method is useful for online analysis. in the proposed method, the field voltage is considered as input signal, while the terminal voltage and active power of the generator are output signals. usually, the difference equation with a second degree polynomial structure is used to estimate the co...

Power offset is zero-order term in the capacity versus signal-to-noise ratio curve. In this paper, approximate analysis of power offset is presented to describe MIMO system with uniform linear antenna arrays of fixed length. It is assumed that the number of receive antenna is larger than that of transmit antenna. Spatially Correlated MIMO Channel is approximated by tri-diagonal toeplitz matrix....

The present study applies the model of American Meteorological Society-Environmental Protection Agency Regulatory Model (AERMOD) to investigate NO2 emissions from Besat thermal power plant, which is fuelled by natural gas to function. Results indicate that the simulated concentration of NO2 based on AERMOD, does not exceed NO2 concentration limit, set by the Iranian Ambient Air Quality Standard...

The power iteration is a classical method for computing the eigenvector associated with the largest eigenvalue of a matrix. The subspace iteration is an extension of the power iteration where the subspace spanned by n largest eigenvectors of a matrix, is determined. The natural power iteration is an exemplary instance of the subspace iteration, providing a general framework for many principal s...
