Just before the Independence Day, on August 13, 2016, the Governor of Maharashtra Shri C. Vidyasagar Rao expressed deep concerns over the misleading advertisements of Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani and Homoeopathy (ASU&H) drugs. The Governor was addressing senior professors, scientists and students at Savitribai Phule Pune University during a function to release two volumes of book on ‘AYUSH in Public...

In this paper, the dual heuristic programming (DHP) optimization algorithm is applied for the design of two LOCAL nonlinear optimal neuro-controllers on a practical multi-machine power system. One neuro-controller is designed to replace the conventional linear controllers, which are the automatic voltage regulator (AVR) and speed-governor (GOV), for a synchronous generator. The other is a new e...

This paper deals with the development of a neuro-fuzzy controller for a wind-diesel system composed of a stall regulated wind turbine with an induction generator connected to an ac busbar in parallel with a diesel-generator set having a synchronous generator. A gasifier is capable of converting tons of wood chips per day into a gaseous fuel that is fed into a diesel engine. The controller input...

Power system is a combination of a number of sources and loads properly linked by a transmission system. The source is a generating system fueled by renewable or non renewable system where bio mass fuel is used to generate electric power. Due to low levels of bio fuel availability, the gas turbine system is considered as a weak system when compared to thermal and hydro systems. However, stable ...

Considering generator rotor and valve by external disturbances for turbine regulating system, the nonlinear large disturbance attenuation controller and parameter updating law of turbine speed governor system are designed using backstepping method. The controller not only considers transmission line parameter uncertainty, and has attenuated the influences of large external disturbances on syste...
