This paper proposes an improved direct active and reactive power control (DPC) strategy for a grid-connected doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind-turbine system under unbalanced grid voltage condition. The method produces required rotor voltage references based on the sliding mode control (SMC) approach in stationary reference frame, without the requirement of synchronous coordinate...

The recent global financial crisis once again revealed the harmful effects of interest-based contracts in the conventional financial system. Islamic finance, as an alternative financial system, discourages interest rate and debt financing. This paper investigates the effects of two financial systems, namely the conventional and Islamic systems, on macroeconomic variables. To achieve this goal, ...

in this paper, a new robust controller based on geometric homogeneity and adaptive integral sliding mode is proposed for a class of second order systems. the upper bound of the system disturbances is not required. fully unknown parameters have been considered in the described model and its finite–time convergence to zero equilibrium point is proved. moreover, the controller is developed in the ...

this study proposes a modified version of cultural algorithms (cas) which benefits from rule-based system for influence function. this rule-based system selects and applies the suitable knowledge source according to the distribution of the solutions. this is important to use appropriate influence function to apply to a specific individual, regarding to its role in the search process. this rule ...

agent oriented software engineering (aose) is an emerging field in computer science  and  proposes some systematic ideas for multi agent systems analysis, implementation and maintenance. despite the various methodologies introduced in the agent-oriented software engineering, the main challenges are defects in different aspects of methodologies. according to the defects resulted from weaknesses ...

the present study intended to determine the priority areas for nature-based tourism in isfahan province, iran. considering the components in question, this study was applied-developmental in nature and its methodology was descriptive-survey based on a systematic analysis of the potentials utilization, potential assessment and identification of priority areas and their combination. to carry out ...

This paper presents an indirect adaptive system based on neuro-fuzzy approximators for the speed control of induction motors. The uncertainty including parametric variations, the external load disturbance and unmodeled dynamics is estimated and compensated by designing neuro-fuzzy systems. The contribution of this paper is presenting a stability analysis for neuro-fuzzy speed control of inducti...

today, the effective inventory management plays an important role in the success of the organizations in the new business environment. it is not clearly possible for the organizations that store hundreds of inventory items to economically design an inventory management policy for each inventory item separately. moreover, various inventory items may play quite different roles in the business of ...

based on iran by 2025 defined vision, we must to receive the first grade of science position in south western asian region. thus we need to have a comprehensive evaluation program.a comprehensive who health research system analysis (hrsa)- based evaluation system was developed to evaluate the hrs in iran. this article has explored the results of the five-year evaluation (2003-2008) and aims to ...

in this study, a novel variable impedance control for a lower-limb rehabilitation robotic system using voltage control strategy is presented. the majority of existing control approaches are based on control torque strategy, which require the knowledge of robot dynamics as well as dynamic of patients. this requires the controller to overcome complex problems such as uncertainties and nonlinearit...
