As demand for electric vehicles (EV) grows, interest in vehicle-to-grid (V2G) is increasing. Although V2G provides additional flexibility power systems, it can be an inconvenience the EV owner and shorten cycle life of batteries. In this paper, we propose a power-imbalance-based droop control (PIDC) V2G, which uses estimated active imbalance between supply demand, without any communications or ...

In this literature, a data pre-processing circuit designs and analyses for an infrared image seeker of a subsonic cruise missile are proposed. The flight speed of the missile is 250m/s. Therefore, automatic contrast control and automatic brightness control are usually needed to keep wanted contrast and brightness for best image properties in target recognition and tracking; especially for the m...

Received Jun 6, 2012 Revised Dec 19, 2012 Accepted Jan 27, 2013 In a large inter-connected system, large and small generating stations are synchronously connected and hence all stations must have the same frequency. The system frequency deviation is the sensitive indicator of real power imbalance. The main objectives of AGC are to maintain constant frequency and tie-line errors with in prescrib...

Frequency, tie-line power, and the terminal voltages of synchronized generators must all be kept within prescribed limits to ensure stability an interconnected power grid through combined automatic generation control (AGC) voltage regulator (AVR) loops. Thermal plants, electric vehicles, renewable energy sources—including solar wind, geothermal, thermal plants—form two-area integrated system in...

Abstract Automatic generation control (AGC) is essential for raising living standards because it enhances power supply quality. However, due to the constraints and challenges experienced in practice, an effective computationally economical method necessary improve AGC performance, particularly presence of renewable energy. Therefore, this study introduces a novel cascade controller (CC) proport...

In Blind Source Separation (BSS) processing, taking advantage of scaling factor indetermination and based on the floatingpoint representation, we propose a scaling technique applied to the separation matrix, to avoid the saturation or the weakness in the recovered source signals. This technique performs an Automatic Gain Control (AGC) in an on-line BSS environment. We demonstrate the effectiven...

In this study, it is investigated how different parameters influence 16QAM modulation. The focus is on how different parameters in the Automatic Gain Control algorithm influence raw bit error rates, but other parameters such as frequency error and misplaced decision levels are also investigated. The goal is not to develop optimal parameter configurations, but to gain some understanding on what ...

A fractional order PID (FOPID) control technique for automatic generation (AGC) in a multi-area power system is presented this study. To create reliable controller, variety of strategies were used. The load frequency (LFC) problem implementing different transactions, such as bilateral and Poolco are investigated here. Because any scheme’s performance only good its parameters, the parameters des...

Biologically-motivated Automatic Gain Control (AGC) scheme of processing along various image dimensions is presented. Images are represented in a multidimensional space that incorporates less investigated dimensions such as curvature, size, depth, convexity/concavity and more. Similarly to the effect of AGC on processing of intensity in vision, the proposed scheme for multidimensional image pro...

Abstract For many years the Brightness Constancy Constraint Equation (BCCE) has been used for optical flow and related computer vision computations. However, almost all cameras have some kind of automatic exposure feature such as Automatic Gain Control (AGC), so that the overall exposure level of the image varies as the camera is aimed at brighter or darker portions of a scene. Moreover, becaus...
