A considerable amount of energy is consumed during transmission and reception of messages in a wireless mesh network (WMN). Reducing per-node transmission power would greatly increase the network lifetime via power conservation in addition to increasing the network capacity via better spatial bandwidth reuse. In this work, the problem of topology control in a hybrid WMN of heterogeneous wireles...

Topology control in mobile ad-hoc networks allows better spatial reuse of the wireless channel and control over network resources. Topology control algorithms tend to optimise network power usage by keeping the topology connected. In this paper, we provide an overview of a range of centralised and distributed topology control algorithms proposed in literature. We also provide a comparison of th...

abstract: in this paper a control scheme for grid-connected operation mode and the island state of distributed generation is presented. in normal conditions, every inverter dg system in micro-grids to supply a preset power, normally operate in a constant current control mode. when micro-grids removed from the network, dg inverter of each system must recognize the island and change position to v...

As an efficient alternative to fossil fuels, renewable energy sources have attained great attention due to their sustainable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly characteristic. However, as a deficiency, renewable energy sources have low reliability because of their non-deterministic and stochastic generation pattern. The use of hybrid renewable generation systems along with the storag...

This paper discusses the implementation of a fuzzy logic based coordinated voltage control for a distribution system connected with distributed generations (DGs). The connection of DGs has created a challenge for the distribution network operators to keep the voltage in the system within its acceptable limits. Intelligent centralized or coordinated voltage control schemes have proven to be more...

Distributed control systems in power plants are the latest trends to optimize and control performance. Reliability prediction of input-output components of distributed control systems have a key role to play in the power plant scenario. Triple modular redundancy is a means of increasing reliability of systems. Triple modular redundancy of three modules each containing m cards is studied in this...

This paper describes an application of nonlinear decentralized robust control (Guo, Jiang & Hill, 1998) to large-scale power systems. Decentralized power controllers are designed explicitly to maintain transient stable closed-loop systems. For the "rst time, nonlinear bounds of generator interconnections are used which achieves less-conservative control gains. The proposed controllers are robus...
