A novel algorithm to decode the Controller Area Network (CAN) frames in an automobile is presented. With didactic intentions and in the context of an industrial collaboration agreement, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are used to identify the relations among the diverse frames traveling in the CAN bus and the state of several electronic control modules connected to the network. Early results s...

Distributed flexible AC- transmission system (D-FACTS) is a recently advanced FACTS device with high flexibility and smaller size. The DPFC can control power flow in transmission lines, regulate bus voltages and it can also enhance stability margin in power grids. Adaptive-neural network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) combines features of artificial neural network and fuzzy controller. Th...

In this study, a new method for designing the damping controller was proposed to improve the transient power system stability in a single machine network connected to an infinite bus. The STATCOM controller problem in a wide area of the system function was considered as an optimization problem with multi-purpose objective function. Also, the Honey Bee Mating Optimization Algorithm was used to d...
