Multidisciplinary engineering is currently a proliferating area, whereby focus is placed upon an engineering practice which combines several academic disciplines [...]

This paper focuses on regulation of the parallel active power filter (APF) Dc Voltage bus by judicious choice of rule bases and intervals for each selected fuzzy variable of suitable fuzzy logic controller. In addition, an algorithm describes the mai...

A photovoltaic (PV) cell is generally used as renewable energy source. For an accurate study of various PV applications, modeling this basic device in a PV generator is essential. However, the manufacturers do not usually provide the model parameters...

Power quality problems exist in every power system; the more advanced the system is, the higher the probability for issues to occur is, and the smart grid is no exception. In this paper, a study of a residential area is implemented using the LABVIEW...

The main objective of this paper is to solve state observation and external disturbances estimation for a class of second-order nonlinear systems. The proposed method relies mainly on the high gain observer as an estimator that tries to estimate the...

The successful transfer toward green renewable energy depends heavily on good, reliable Energy Storage Systems (ESS). Lithium-ion batteries are the preferred choice for many applications; however, they need careful management, especially an accurate...

This study proposes a control architecture based on iterative stochastic algorithms to control the doubly-fed induction machine (DFIM), often used in wind systems. We briefly present the modeling of this machine. We describe in more detail the contro...

Forecasting wind speed using only one single model may not be satisfactory; however, the combination of several models may provide better results, especially in case of doubt about the best estimator (predicator). In this paper, we propose a short-te...

The activation of the safety-instrumented systems in industrial processes is carried out after the occurrence of specific deviations (dangerous situations) from normal operation (normal situations), but in some cases, the safety-instrumented systems...
