A stabilized controllability of selemion CMV-based IPMC actuators in the extremely low humidity environment
(2013)
Selemion CMV-based IPMC (Ionic Polymer Metal Composite) actuators have numerous promising applications in designing autonomous moving structures. This paper presents the electric properties obtained from the analysis of ...
Performance review of the VSC-HVDC based controllers
(2016)
The Voltage Source Converters, High Voltage Direct Current (VSC-HVDC) system is the most preferred alternative technology for transmission and distribution of electrical power due to its intrinsic distinctiveness in ...
Opportunities and challenges for smart grid communications
(2010)
The current power grid is in the verge of being improved. Recent technological advances have made possible the creation of a new and improved grid known as the smart grid. Smart grid allows for better interaction between ...
Optimal Sizing and Placement of Solar Photovoltaic based DGs in the IEEE 9 bus system using Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm
(2018)
Solar energy is one of the most commonly exploited renewable resource globally. Integration of power from solar to the main grid can either bring positive or negative impact which normally depends on their size and location. ...
The use of RC4 Encryption for Smart Meters
(2014)
The electrical power grid is undergoing improvements and is being transformed to the Smart Grid. Smart Grid makes use of two way flow of power and information to better monitor, plan and control the electrical power grid. ...
Analysis of a fuzzy logic power system stabilizer for stability enhancement
(2010)
Modern power systems consist of several generators working synchronously to meet the
Power demand. For reliability of these systems, stability must be ensured in case of faults within the system. Faults within a system ...

(2015)
Manufacturing safety is a key priority in the success
of any business, as it can affect both the present and future
competitive position of an organization. Organizations must measure ...
Profit based unit commitment in deregulated electricity markets using a hybrid lagrangian Relaxation - particle swarm optimization approach
(2017)
Abstract—In deregulated electricity markets, individual generation companies (GENCOs) carry out independent unit commitment based on predicted energy and revenue prices. The GENCOs unit com-moment strategies are developed ...
Comparative analysis of SCIG and DFIG based wind generation on transient stability of the Kenyan power system
(2014)
Generation of Electrical power from wind is achieved using the two mainly available generator technologies. These technologies are the squirrel cage induction generators (SCIG) and doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs). ...
