Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDecentralized Controller Design for Static Synchronous Compensator Using Robust Quantitative Feedback Theory MethodSeyed Abbas Taher, Reza Hematti, Ali Abdolalipour, Majid NematiThe Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) provides shunt compensation in similar way to the Static VAR Compensator (SVC) but utilizes a voltage source converter rather than capacitors and reactor. In practice systems use simple Proportional-Integral (PI) controllers for control of STATCOM. However, since the PI control parameters were usually tuned based on classical or trial-and-error approaches, they were incapable of obtaining … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,461 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Efficient-Silicon Area MDAC SynapseZied Gafsi, Nejib Hassen, Mongia Mhiri, Kamel BesbesUsing the binary representation ΣiDi2i in the Multiplier digital to analog converter (MDAC) synapse designs have crucial drawbacks. Silicon area of transistors, constituting the MDAC circuit, increases exponentially according to the number of bits. This latter is generated by geometric progression of common ratio equal to 2. To reduce this exponential increase to a linear growth, a new synapse named … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,161 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing PLC for Custom-design of a PID/PWM Program to Control a Heater TemperatureMohammad A.K. AliaThis is a practical approach to control a continuous-time process variable (temperature) using a discrete controller (PLC) and a custom-designed software control algorithm and hardware interface, in a closed-loop system. Unlike the conventionally known technique of transforming a digital control action into a proportional analogue one by a D/A converter followed by power amplifier, the control action was formed internally … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 7,669 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFast and Robust Maximum Power Point Tracking for Solar Photovoltaic SystemsHuiying Zheng, Shuhui LiSolar Photovoltaic (PV) energy is becoming an increasingly important part of the world's renewable energy. In order to develop technology for efficient energy conversion from a solar PV system, this paper studies typical Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control techniques used in solar PV industry and then proposes a close-loop and adaptive MPPT method for reliable and rapid extraction of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 17 Jan 2016 · 7,784 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVerification of Anchoring in Foundations of Wind Turbine TowersNafsika Stavridou, Evangelos Efthymiou, Charalampos C. BaniotopoulosTubular steel towers are the most common supporting structure of wind converters. The towers’ foundation covers an important part of the initial cost and its configuration depends heavily on the type of subsoil. Onshore structures are founded on spread footing foundations or pile foundations with the first being the commonest. In these spread footing foundations, the tower is either embedded … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 23 Nov 2015 · 8,398 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractASYNCHRONOUS TIME ENCODER BASED QUASI-STATIC MODELLING FOR HUMAN AREA NETWORK IN VANETR. Vimal Karthick, G. S. Raj, R. Srinivasan et al.Power constraints play a key role in designing Human Area Networks (HANs) for bio authentication vehicle based on driver's identity. To alleviate the power constraints, we advocate a design that uses an asynchronous time encoding mechanisms for representing bio authentication information and the skin surface as the communication channel. Time encoding does not require a clock while allows perfect signal … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 20 Dec 2014 · 8,067 accessesView PDFCite
