Hybrid AC/DC microgrids facilitate the procedure of DC power connection into the conventional AC power system by developing the distributed generations (DGs) technologies. The conversion processes between AC and DC electrical powers are more convenient by hybrid systems. In this paper, an energy management system (EMS) for a hybrid microgrid network is proposed due to the optimal utilization of...

In this work, real-time evaluation and steps towards implementation of three different types of power oscillation damping controllers (POD) for fast power electronic devices such as FACTS (flexible AC transmission systems) have been done. The performance of classical POD controllers (lead-lags and phasor estimators) are compared with an advanced adaptive approach. The prerequisite for achieving...

Based on the traditional indirect matrix converter topology dual input dual output indirect matrix converter is proposed, but the conventional six-switch inverter, used in the singleoutput indirect matrix converter, is replaced by a nineswitch dual output converter. The matrix converter has several advantages over traditional rectifier-inverter type power frequency converters. It provides sinus...

The continuous popularity of the research in the area of the matrix converter control theory has been supported by steady technological improvements. It is still common to use discrete semiconductor switches in an anti-serial connection, even though some integrated solutions have been presented by various vendors already. Furthermore, recently experimental all-in-one matrix converter power modu...

This paper presents state space vector analysis for three-phase matrix converter (MC) operating as unified power flow controllers (UPFCs). It allows direct ac/ac power conversion without dc energy storage links; therefore, it reduces volume, cost, and capacitor power losses, together with higher reliability. The line active and reactive power, together with ac supply reactive power, can be dire...

Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease characterized by the development of auto antibodies against a variety of self-antigens and deposition of immune complexes that lead to inflammation, fibrosis, and end-organ damage. Up to 60% of lupus patients develop nephritis and renal dysfunction leading to kidney failure. N-acetyl-seryl-aspartyl-lysyl-proline, i.e., Ac-SDKP, is a natural ...

Self-tuning adaptive control technique has the advantage of being able to track the system operating conditions so that satisfactory control action can always be produced. Self-tuning algorithms can be implemented easily. Because the power systems are usually time varying non-linear systems and their parameters vary, adaptive controllers are very suitable for power systems. Characteristics of a...

in this paper, an adaptive fuzzy control scheme is proposed for a class of perturbed strict-feedback nonlinear systems with unknown discrete and distributed time-varying delays, and the proposed design method does not require a priori knowledge of the signs of the control gains.based on the backstepping technique, the adaptive fuzzy controller is constructed. the main contributions of the paper...
