Because of extreme local saturation at pole tips of excited phase and uncircular shape of rotor and stator, a Swithed Reluctance Motor (SRM) does not have a simple and accurate mathematical model. Therefore, the output control of this motor requires a robust controller which is not based on an accurate model of the process. Fuzzy controllers, to some extent, will satisfy these requirements. Tet...

The main problem of vehicle vibration comes from road roughness. An active suspension systempossesses the ability to reduce acceleration of sprung mass continuously as well as to minimizesuspension deflection, which results in improvement of tire grip with the road surface. Thus, braketraction control and vehicle maneuverability can be improved consider ably .This study developeda new active su...

Using the FACTS controllers, such as static synchronous compensator (STATCOM), as it provides continuous reactive power, in the grid including wind turbine (WT) equipped with doubly fed induction generator, for improving voltage profile (under normal circumstances) and providing a transition ability from inductor generator transition state has been proposed. In this paper, in order to contr...

This paper presents the design of a neural network based feedback linearization (NNFBL) controller for a two degree-offreedom (DOF), quarter-car, servo-hydraulic vehicle suspension system. The main objective of the direct adaptive NNFBL controller is to improve the system’s ride comfort and handling quality. A feedforward, multi-layer perceptron (MLP) neural network (NN) model that is well suit...

Expansion of input and output lines in an embedded system is sometimes complicated by the unavailability of any additional control or select lines. This paper discusses a technique to expand the input and/or output of an embedded system without requiring any control signals or requiring that there be any unused states on existing signals. The key idea is to utilize transitions between states of...
