This paper proposes an autonomous and economic droop control scheme for DC microgrid application. In this method, a cost-effective power sharing technique among various types of DG units is properly adopted. The droop settings are determined based on an algorithm to individually manage the power management without any complicated optimization methods commonly applied in the centralized control ...

Mobile networked environments are typically resource constrained in terms of the available bandwidth and battery capacity on mobile devices. Realtime video applications entail the analysis, storage, transmission, and rendering of video data, and are hence resource-intensive. Since the available bandwidth in the mobile Internet is constantly changing, and the battery life of a mobile video appli...

Internal Turn-Turn faults (TTF) are the most common failures in power transformers, which could seriously reduce their life expectancy. Although common protection schemes such as current-baseddifferential protection are able to detect some of the internal faults, some other minor ones (such as TTFs andshort circuit near the neutral point) cannot be detected by such schemes. Likewise, these rela...

This article provides a brief overview of Daba software package created in the course of building corpora for Manding languages. Key software features are motivated by the tasks and problems characteristic of many African languages. The corpus-building model proposed here was initially developed for Bambara Reference Corpus which is available online and is freely accessible. The morphological a...

Characteristic curves like isophotes, reflection lines and reflection circles are well–established concepts which have been used for automatic fairing of both parametric and piecewise linear surfaces. However, the result of the fairing strongly depends on the choice of a particular family of characteristic curves: isophotes or reflection lines may look perfect for a certain orientation of viewi...

This paper deals with a new approach for solving fuzzy differential equations based on genetic programming. This method produces some trial solutions and seeks the best of them. If the solution cannot be expressed in a closed analytical form then our method produces an approximation with a controlled level of accuracy. Furthermore, the numerical results reveal the potential of the proposed appr...
