In this paper, a new control strategy is proposed for implementation in low-voltage microgrids with balanced/ unbalanced load circumstances. The proposed scheme contains, the power droop controllers, inner voltage and current loops, the virtual impedance loop, the voltage imbalance compensation. The proposed strategy balances the voltage of the single-phase critical loads by compensating the im...

The GMABS (Games and Multi-Agent-Based Simulation) methodology was created from the integration of RPG and MABS techniques. This methodology links the dynamic capacity of MABS (Multi-Agent-Based Simulation) and the discussion and learning capacity of RPG (RolePlaying Games). Using GMABS, we have developed two prototypes in the natural resources management domain. The first prototype, called Jog...

Computers are getting smaller, cheaper, faster, with lower power requirements, more memory capacity, better connectivity, and are increasingly distributed. Accordingly, smartphones became more of a commodity worldwide, and the use of smartphones as a platform for ubiquitous computing is promising. Nevertheless, we still lack much of the architecture and service infrastructure we will need to tr...

There is abundant literature regarding virtual reality as a technology of interest in the present age. However, there are few comprehensive studies on strategies that can improve the level of urban design research using this technique. To investigate the issue, this paper first reviews the concept of virtual reality. Next, the opinions of experts in the field of virtual reality technology are s...

Virtual reality is a new technology that simulates a three-dimensional virtual world on a computer and enables the generation of visual, audio, and haptic feedback for the full immersion of users. Users can interact with and observe objects in three-dimensional visual space without limitation. At present, virtual reality training has been widely used in rehabilitation therapy for balance dysfun...

There has been a lack of discussion concerning virtual reality as an expressive medium. It is essential to emphasise the aesthetic dimension of virtual reality in order to develop the medium as a powerful artistic mode of expression. This thesis examines how head-mounted display-based virtual reality can be used for artistic expression, focussing on the aesthetic pleasures of the medium. Pionee...

Cobots are capable of producing virtual surfaces of high quality, using mechanical transmission elements as their basic element in place of conventional motors. Most cobots built to date have used steerable wheels as their transmission elements. We describe how continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) can be used in this capacity for a cobot with revolute joints. The design of an “arm-like” c...

In this paper, we consider the problem of partner selection in a virtual organisation (VO); specifically, we develop mixed integer linear programming (MILP) models to support the configuration of VOs in a virtual organisation breeding environment (VBE). Apart from the basic model which focuses on the minimisation of total fixed and variable costs we present extensions that capture transportatio...

In ATM networks, Virtual Path Connections (VPCs) are not only a device for bundling Virtual Circuit Connections (VCCs), but they serve as an intermediate resource management layer wherein tradeoos between cost, complexity, and eeciency are likely to be made on a slower time scale than connection holding times. In this paper we consider bundling multicast connections on VP trees. In particular, ...
