Battery storage is usually employed in photovoltaic (PV) system to mitigate the power fluctuations due to the characteristics of PV panels and solar irradiance. Control schemes for PV-battery systems ...

In this paper, a community microgrid with multiple ac and dc microgrids is introduced and analyzed. Individual microgrids with different frequency and voltage requirements would operate as ...

We consider the downlink of Cell-Free Massive MIMO systems, where a very large number of distributed access points (APs) simultaneously serve a much smaller number of users. Each AP uses local channel ...

This article presents a game-theoretic method for operation of a smart distribution grid equipped with distributed generation and demand response programs. The problem is formulated as a ...

A novel compact Vivaldi Antenna (CVA) for short-pulse ground penetrating radar (GPR) systems is presented. Artificial materials lens (AML) and sidelobe suppress ...

A new methodology for ensuring that a three-coil wireless power transfer system is more energy efficient than a two-coil counterpart is presented in this paper.

The issues of monitoring and fault diagnosis of drives with permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) are currently very relevant because of the increasing use of these drives in safety-critical ...

The development of real-time road condition systems will better monitor road network operation status. However, the weak point of all these systems is their need for comprehensive and reliable data.

Abstract: In this brief, adaptive neural control is presented for a class of output feedback nonlinear systems in the presence of unknown functions. The unknown functions are handled via on-line ...

This paper presents statistical data about lightning damage on wind turbine blades reported at different wind farms in the U.S. The analysis is based on 304 cases of damage due to direct lightning ...

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) control has the potential to provide frequency regulation service for power system operation from electric vehicles (EVs). In this paper, a decentralized V2G control (DVC) method ...

For the two-stage single-phase power factor correction (PFC) converter, its instantaneous input power pulsates at twice the line frequency, generating the second harmonic current (SHC) at the dc-bus ...
