A new approach to the design of decentralised controllers, using Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm (MOEA), for load-frequency control of interconnected power systems with AC-DC parallel tie-lines and considering Governor Dead Band and Generation Rate Constraint nonlinearities, is proposed in this paper. The HVDC link is used as system interconnection in parallel with AC tie-line to effecti...

The Test of Emotional Intelligence (TIE) is a new ability scale based on a theoretical model that defines emotional intelligence as a set of skills responsible for the processing of emotion-relevant information. Participants are provided with descriptions of emotional problems, and asked to indicate which emotion is most probable in a given situation, or to suggest the most appropriate action. ...

The determination of the exterior orientation parameters is an essential pre-requisite for the evaluation of any imagery from terrestrial, airborne or satellite based sensors. Normally, this georeferencing processing is solved indirectly by using a number of well known ground control points and their corresponding image coordinates. Using a mathematical model for the relation between image and ...

Power oscillations are a growing concern among power system operators worldwide. Traditionally, the main countermeasure against dangerous power oscillations has been the installation of power system stabilizers (PSS). Essentially, the potential for inter-area power oscillations depends on the strength of the tie lines between different areas and the load on the ties. From a European perspective...

Having desired (to construct) a square, one is to take a cord of length equal to the (side of the) given square, make ties at both ends and mark it at its middle. The (east-west) line (equal to the cord) is drawn and a pole is fixed at its middle. The two ties (of the cord) are fixed in it (pole) and a circle is drawn with the mark (in the middle of the cord). Two poles are fixed at both ends o...

This paper describes a general sensor model for the georeferencing of imagery from CCD linear array sensors with along-track stereo viewing, carried on airplane or satellite. The model combines the standard photogrammetric triangulation with a sensor external orientation modeling. The sensor attitude and position, which are different for each image-line, are modeled with time-dependent piecewis...

Phase separation in ternary model membranes is known to occur over a range of temperatures and compositions and can be induced by increasing hydrostatic pressure. We have used small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) to study phase separation along pre-determined tie lines in dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC), dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and cholesterol (CHOL) mixtures. We can unequivocal...

This paper presents the analysis of the load frequency control (LFC) of a realistic two area interconnected power system having diverse sources of power generation. A Thyristor Controlled Phase Shifter (TCPS) is used in series with AC tie line for improving the dynamic performance of the LFC system. The power system simulation is done using MATLAB Simulink and control problem is solved using MA...
