In today's competitive electric market, utilities are expected to provide highly reliable power supplies at the lowest possible cost. Distribution automation and remote control are recognized as ways for intelligently using appropriate technology to increase the reliability at reduced system operation cost, automated operations and service restoration can eliminate the need to send out the pers...

8 The modernization of irrigation districts in Spain is based on the construction of 9 collective pressurized networks equipped with remote control systems. In this paper, a 10 simulation approach is used to explore the benefits of introducing a collective solid-set 11 irrigation control software. The controller works in combination with a district 12 management database, real time evapotranspi...

Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems and distributed control systems (DCS) were innovated to reduce labor costs, and to permit system-wide monitoring and remote control from a headquarter. Control systems are widely implemented in critical infrastructures such as electric grid, natural gas and petroleum, water, and wastewater industries. In this paper the structure and archi...

A vision-based flight control system is developed for application to small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in this paper. The proposed system integrates a remote controller, a remotely controlled airplane, a camera, a wireless transmitter/receiver, a ground control computer, and the proposed skyline-detection algorithm to achieve automatic control of flight stability. Static and dynamic tests a...

The traditional method of controlling street lamp lighting could not adjust the brightness of bulbs, while the management and maintenance had to rely on labour patrol. The combined ZigBee and GPRS technology with LED lights is an advanced controlling method for street lighting, particularly resolves the issues in monitoring and energy consumption. This paper presents a general system that incor...

SUMMARY This paper presents a design of the software and hardware modules of an embedded board with both a sensor and an interface circuit which not only control home light-emitting diode (LED) lighting appliances but also reduce their differences in brightness caused by luminous decay. This design consists of four parts: an automatically adjusted LED driver, environment illumination detection,...

We consider a networked control system consisting of a remote controller and a collection of linear plants, each associated with a local controller. Each local controller directly observes the state of its co-located plant and can inform the remote controller of the plant’s state through an unreliable uplink channel. We assume that the downlink channels from the remote controller to local contr...

This study examines the use of an RF-based remote system to manage domestic electrical appliances. The wireless control based on RF technology can toggle status equipment ON or OFF from any site without necessitating a line sight anywhere around house. regulating circuit is developed 434 MHz operational frequency receiver and transmitter module, along with HT12E encoder HT12D decoder integrated...
