This paper presents Simulation and experimental study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of an adaptive artificial neural network stabilizer on enhancing the damping torque of a synchronous generator. For this purpose, a power system comprising a synchronous generator feeding a large power system through a short tie line is considered. The proposed adaptive neuro-control system consists o...

Emulsifiers and stabilizers are known to be effective agents of emulsification. When used in an oil and vinegar salad dressing, they contribute to significant changes in density, viscosity, and color when compared to the control which contains no emulsifiers or stabilizers. The stabilizer used was xanthan gum and the emulsifier used was lecithin. It was found that the control remained the dense...

Existing large industrial control systems often exhibit poor tracking and disturbance rejection capabilities due to a large number of decentralized control loops. To improve these, a stabilizer design procedure is proposed based on H∞ optimization. The procedure is simple to apply and requires only some of the closed-loop transfer functions. Application of the approach in the Syncrude utility p...

A current source converter (CSC) based static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is a shunt flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) device, which has a vital role in stability support for transient instability and damping support for undesirable interarea oscillations in an interconnected power network. A robust pole-shifting based controller for CSC-STATCOM with damping stabilizer is proposed. ...

Large-scale quantum computation is likely to require massive quantum error correction (QEC). QEC codes and circuits are described via the stabilizer formalism, which represents stabilizer states by keeping track of the operators that preserve them. Such states are obtained by stabilizer circuits (consisting of CNOT, Hadamard and Phase gates) and can be represented compactly on conventional comp...

This paper presents results from the attitude control optimization for a small-scale helicopter by using an identified model of the vehicle dynamics that explicitly accounts for the coupled rotor/stabilizer/fuselage (r/s/f) dynamics. The accuracy of the model is verified by showing that it successfully predicts the performance of the control system currently used for Carnegie Mellon’s autonomou...
