This project presents decentralized control scheme for Load-Frequency Control in Multi-area power System. In this era renewable energy is most promising solution to man’s ever increasing energy needs. But the power production by these resources cannot be controlled unlike in thermal plants. A number of optimal control techniques are adopted to implement a reliable stabilising controller. It is ...

introduction: mass production of natural enemies has been considered a necessity for biological control programs. most beneficial insects have a relatively short shelf-life, so suppliers do not have a sufficient number of biocontrol agents. the development of storage techniques for biocontrol agents provides flexibility and efficiency in mass production. cold storage by prolonging insect develo...

Thermal management is critical for clusters because of the increasing power consumption of modern processors, compact server architectures and growing server density in data centers. Thermal balancing mitigates hot spots in a cluster through dynamic load distribution among servers. This paper presents the Control-theoretical Thermal Balancing (CTB) algorithms that employ feedback control loops ...

The energy consumption by heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems forms a large portion of the total energy usage in buildings. Vehicle fuel consumption and emissions are also significantly affected by air conditioning. Air conditioning is also a critical system for hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles as the second most energy consuming system after the elec...

1. The thermic effect of a glucose load (50 g) was studied in ten control and eleven obese female subjects, using both direct and indirect calorimetry simultaneously. Experiments were done under conditions of thermal equilbrium (28 degrees and 30% relative humidity). 2. Thermal balance (heat production measured by indirect calorimetry minus heat losses measured directly) was negative in the con...

electro-thermo-elastic stress analysis of piezoelectric polymeric thick-walled cylinder reinforced by boronnitride nanotubes (bnnts) subjected to electro-thermo-mechanical fields is presented in this article. the electro-thermo-elastic properties of piezoelectric fiber reinforced composite (pefrc) was studied by a modified xy micromechanical model capable of exhibiting full coupling relation be...
