A power system is a nonlinear one. When turbulence occurs in the power system, the stability of the system depends on the initial operating conditions and the nature of the turbulence. Nowadays renewable energy sources including photovoltaic have a key role to meet high demand of modern societies and to maintain voltage of the buses, while they also provide clean electrical energy. However, inc...

In recent years, due to the fact that non-renewable energies come to an end, renewable energy is expected to provide a significant part of the future needs of Iran. Among these energies, solar energy is a suitable option for a wide range of the country, due to availability, proper radiation intensity, and high sunshine times during the year (about 300 sunny days per year). The purpose of this p...

As device dimensions are scaled down, single event transients (SET) are increasingly affecting the reliability of integrated circuits. An SET is a transient voltage perturbation caused by an energetic particle strike at the semiconductor. This work studies the applicability of bulk built in current sensors (bulk-BICS) for SET detection in deep-submicron technologies. The bulk-BICS detects the t...

In this paper, an optimal strategy is proposed for the reactive power allocation in large-scale grid-connected photovoltaic systems. Grid-connected photovoltaic systems with direct current to alternating current inverters are able to supply active power to the utility grid as well as reactive power. The active power, extracted by the direct current to alternating current inverters, is usually c...

Photovoltaic (PV) systems have significantly shifted from independent power generation systems to a large-scale grid-connected generation systems in recent years. The power output of PV systems is affected by the reliability of various components in the system. This study proposes an analytical approach to evaluate the reliability of large-scale, grid-connected PV systems. The fault tree method...

using photovoltaic systems is gradually expanded by increasing energy demand. abundance and availability of this energy, has turned to one of the most important sources of renewable energy. unfortunately, photovoltaic systems have two big problems: first, those have very low energy conversion efficiency (in act between 12 and 42 percent under certain circumstances). second, the power produced b...

in this paper, an observer based fuzzy adaptive controller (fac) is designed fora class of large scale systems with non-canonical non-affine nonlinear subsystems. it isassumed that functions of the subsystems and the interactions among subsystems areunknown. by constructing a new class of state observer for each follower, the proposedconsensus control method solves the problem of unmeasured sta...
