Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Thyristor Control Series Capacitor Neuro-Controller for Damping OscillationsM. Magaji, M. W. MustafaThis study applies a neural-network-based optimal TCSC controller for damping oscillations. Optimal neural network controller is related to model-reference adaptive control, the network controller is developed based on the recursive "pseudo-linear regression". Problem statement: The optimal NN controller is designed to damp out the low frequency local and inter-area oscillations of the large power system. Approach: Two multilayer-perceptron neural networks … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,281 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLocal Beam Search Algorithm for Power Saving in Clustered Ad-Hoc NetworksA. Zabian, F. Al-KalaniAn ad-Hoc network is an infrastructures network consisting of mobile moving nodes. Every node in network performs as a router or a package forwarder. Energy consumption of network interfaces can be significant. There is a relationship between the transmission power and the distance traveled by a packet, increasing the transmission power increases the reachable area at the cost of high … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,539 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Indoor Positioning System (IPS) using Grid ModelWutjanun Muttitanon, Nitin Kumar Tripathi, Marc SourisTo date many positioning systems are available to determine or track a user's location; three main categories include Global Positioning System (GPS), wide area location system and indoor positioning system. GPS has its limitation (poor signals) in indoor or urban uses, while wide-area location systems are cellular networks dependent. For indoor positioning system many approaches like infrared sensing, radio frequency, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,175 accessesView PDFCite
