Effects of Electrical Parameters of Induction Generator on the Transient Voltage Stability of a Fixed Speed Wind Turbine
2008
This paper describes the effect of electrical parameters of the induction generator on the transient voltage stability of a fixed speed wind turbine connected to a simple grid; the dynamic behavior of a wind turbine connected to the grid is examined. The model of the fixed speed wind turbine has been developed in the simulation tool Matlab/Simulink. Itpsilas composed by the induction generator, the shaft system, the aerodynamic model of the wind turbine rotor and the pitch control system. Using this model, a three-phases fault is applied close to the wind turbine and cleared by disconnecting the faulted line. The effect of different electrical parameters of the induction generator on the vo…
Stratégies d'influences et politiques de maîtrise de la croissance locale
2010
Over the last ten years, real estate prices have risen considerably and accordingly to most observers, this can at least partly be attributed to an insufficient supply, due to local growth control measures. This thesis tries to understand what motivates local authorities implementing such policies. Local politicians are considered as opportunistic and their decision is modelled as the result of a political struggle between different land-related interests. This game for influence mainly opposes the owners of developed and undeveloped land, who find allies amongst local business interests that might form growth or ideas machines. Our first model describes this struggle under different hypoth…
Reagent free electrochemical-based detection of silver ions at interdigitated microelectrodes using in-situ pH control
2021
Abstract Herein we report on the development of an electrochemical sensor for silver ions detection in tap water using anodic sweep voltammetry with in-situ pH control; enabled by closely spaced interdigitated electrode arrays. The in-situ pH control approach allowed the pH of a test solution to be tailored to pH 3 (experimentally determined as the optimal pH) by applying 1.65 V to a protonator electrode with the subsequent production of protons, arising from water electrolysis, dropping the local pH value. Using this approach, an initial proof-of-concept study for silver detection in sodium acetate was undertaken where 1.25 V was applied during deposition (to compensate for oxygen producti…
A simulation and experimental study of electrochemical pH control at gold interdigitated electrode arrays
2021
Abstract In electroanalysis, solution pH is a critical parameter that often needs to be tailored and controlled for the detection of particular analytes. This is most commonly performed by the addition of chemicals, such as strong acids or bases. Electrochemical in-situ pH control offers the possibility for the local adjustment of pH at the point of detection, without the need for additional reagents. Finite element analysis (FEA) simulations have been performed on interdigitated electrodes, to guide experimental design in relation to both electroanalysis and in-situ control of solution pH. No previous model exists that describes the generation of protons at an interdigitated electrode arra…
Molecular Rearrangement of an Aza-Scorpiand Macrocycle Induced by pH: A Computational Study †
2016
Rearrangements and their control are a hot topic in supramolecular chemistry due to the possibilities that these phenomena open in the design of synthetic receptors and molecular machines. Macrocycle aza-scorpiands constitute an interesting system that can reorganize their spatial structure depending on pH variations or the presence of metal cations. In this study, the relative stabilities of these conformations were predicted computationally by semi-empirical and density functional theory approximations, and the reorganization from closed to open conformations was simulated by using the Monte Carlo multiple minimum method Financial support by the Spanish Ministerio de Economía y Competitiv…
Robust regulation with an H<inf>&#x221E;</inf> constrain for linear two-time scale systems
2010
In this paper, the problem of robust multi-objective control design with an H ∞ constrain is studied for a class of linear two-time scale systems. The design is based on a new modelling approach under the assumption of norm-boundedness of the fast dynamics. In this method, a portion of the fast dynamics is treated as a norm-bounded perturbation in the design by its maximum possible gain. In this view, the problem of robust multi-objective control design is performed only for the certain dynamics of the two-time scale system, whose order is less than that of the original system. One illustrative example is used to demonstrate the validity of the proposed approach.
Robust finite-time fuzzy H∞ control for uncertain time-delay systems with stochastic jumps
2014
Abstract This paper investigates the problem of robust finite-time H ∞ control for a class of uncertain discrete-time Markovian jump nonlinear systems with time-delays represented by Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) model. Initially, the concepts of stochastic finite-time boundedness and stochastic finite-time H ∞ stabilization are presented. Then, by using stochastic Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional approach, sufficient conditions are derived such that the resulting close-loop system is stochastically finite-time bounded and satisfies a prescribed H ∞ disturbance attenuation level in a given finite-time interval. Furthermore, sufficient criteria on stochastic finite-time H ∞ stabilization using a fuzzy s…
Comments on “Finite-Time $H_{\infty }$ Fuzzy Control of Nonlinear Jump Systems With Time Delays Via Dynamic Observer-Based State Feedback”
2014
This paper investigates a defect appearing in “Finite-time H∞ fuzzy control of nonlinear jump systems with time delays via dynamic observer-based state feedback,” which the observer-based finite-time H∞ controller via dynamic observer-based state feedback could not ensuring stochastic finite-time boundedness, and satisfying a prescribed level of H∞ disturbance attenuation for the resulting closed-loop error fuzzy Markov jump systems. The corrected results are presented, and the improved optimal algorithms and new simulation results are also provided in this paper.
Optimal design of an electro-hydraulic valve for heavy-duty vehicle clutch actuator with certain constraints
2016
Abstract The main objective of this paper is to investigate the sensitivity analysis and optimal design of a proportional solenoid valve (PSV) operated pressure reducing valve (PRV) for heavy-duty automatic transmission clutch actuators. The nonlinear electro-hydraulic valve model is developed based on fluid dynamics. In order to implement the sensitivity analysis and optimization for the PRV, the PSV model is validated by comparing the results with data obtained from a real test-bench. The sensitivity of the PSV pressure response with regard to the structural parameters is investigated by using Sobol׳s method. Finally, simulations and experimental investigations are performed on the optimi…
H<inf>&#x221E;</inf> synchronization of Markovian jump master-slave systems with delay
2012
The problem of synchronization is investigated for a class of master-slave systems with time-varying delays and Markovian switching parameters. Using an appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, a synchronization law which includes the master-slave parameters is established for designing a mode-dependent output feedback control law in terms of LMIs. A numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of the method.
