The efficiency of the variable speed wind energy conversion systems (WECS) can be greatly improved using an appropriate control strategy. In this paper, nonlinear control for wind energy conversion system (WECS) based on the permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) is investigated in order to maximize the generated power from wind turbine. The control strategy combines the technique of max...

The aim of this trial was to evaluate the effectiveness (fertility and lambing) of priming with a single injection of progesterone plus PMSG in anovulatory lactating Sarda ewes subjected to the ram effect (RE) in spring. Thirty ewes (P4 group) were i.m. injected with 30 mg progesterone and 500 IU PMSG 36 h before ram introduction (d 0). This treatment was compared to a 12-day treatment with flu...

Ten primiparous river buffaloes of the Miankaleh peninsula, northern Iran in the nonbreeding season from the native herds were selected. The buffaloes were divided into two groups (n=5) and were injected intramuscularly with gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) and a controlled internal drug-release device (CIDR) inserted on the fi rst day. Ten days later, administration of follicle stimulatin...

The present study was performed to optimize a superovulation protocol in rats in order to produce a large number of good-quality embryos suitable to develop rat embryonic stem (rES) cells. We first evaluated the ovulation kinetics of three rat strains: Wistar, Fisher and ACI/N. Animals (n=30 per strain) were treated with 50 IU of pregnant mare serum gonadotrophin (PMSG), and ovulation was induc...

was postulated that this system existed as a single gene (Chapman & Whitten, 1968), the following experiments were conducted to determine the heritability of the male pheromonal system involved in pmsg-induced facilitation of ovulation. Female mice of the C57BL/6J and SWR/J strains were housed, one per cage, following weaning at 21 days of age. Lighting was kept on a 12 hr on/12 hr off schedule...

One hundred and fifty ewes with lifetime records of ovulation rate and lambing were divided into two groups on the basis of age, live weight and reproduction index (calculated from reproductive performance data). Both groups were synchronised in oestrus with progestagen sponges inserted for 14 days. At sponge removal one group received no PMSG while the other group received 400 i.u. PMSG. Eight...

We investigated the fertilization and developmental ability of superovulated eggs obtained from adult Wistar-Imamichi (WI) rats, by using pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) treatment. Female WI rats, 11-13 weeks of age, were divided into four groups by estrous stage (metestrus [ME], diestrus [DE], proestrus [PE], or estrus [E]). PMSG (150 IU/kg) and h...

ewes to superovulatory doses of PMSG. A subsequent report of a similar study of Welsh mountain ewes found no association between Hb type and response to PMSG (Trounson, Willadsen, Moor & Tucker, 1976). Egg-transfer experiments with Finnish Landrace (Finn) and Galway donors provided an op¬ portunity to extend the findings of Pant & Pandey (1975) and Trounson et al (1976). In addition to typing a...

Hardware protection and control action are two kinds of low voltage ride-through technical proposals widely used in a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). This paper proposes an innovative clustering concept for the equivalent modeling of a PMSG-based wind power plant (WPP), in which the impacts of both the chopper protection and the coordinated control of active and reactive powers a...

The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the induction of estrus and fertility in yak cows treated with Co-Synch regimens or progesterone (P(4)). In Experiment 1, postpartum suckled yaks were assigned to three treatments: (1) A (n=28), insertion of an intravaginal device containing P(4) (CIDR) on Day 0, PGF(2alpha) (i.m.) on Day 6 and PMSG (i.m.) at the time of CIDR removal on Day 7...
