In this paper, estimation of signal power is considered. Methods of designing optimized and partially-optimized power estimators, based on the Wiener model, for complexvalued signals are presented. Our application is predictive received power level estimation in closed loop transmitter power control of mobile CDMA communications systems. The proposed estimators have the benefits of guaranteed...

The doubly-fed generators (DFIG) have clear superiority for the applications of large capacity and limited-range speed control case due to the partially rated inverter, lower cost and high reliability. These characteristics enable the doubly-fed wound rotor induction machine to have vast applications in wind-driven generation.In this paper Combined Vector and direct power control (CVDPC) strate...

In this paper a comprehensive approach is presented to improve power swings damping based on direct Lyapunov method. The approach combines superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) system with static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). Considering the energy absorption/injection ability of SMES, in transient states the combination exchanges both active and reactive powers with power system....

This paper presents a comparative study on the Predictive Direct Torque Control method and the Indirect Space Vector Modulation Direct Torque Control method for a Doubly-Fed Induction Machine (DFIM) which its rotor is fed by an Indirect Matrix Converter (IMC). In Conventional DTC technique, good transient and steady-state performances are achieved but it presents a non constant switching fr...

typical production objectives in distillation process require the delivery of products whose compositions meet certain specifications. the distillation control system, therefore, must hold product compositions as near the set points as possible in faces of upset. in this project, inferential model predictive control, that utilizes an artificial neural network estimator and model predictive cont...

Full power rating three-level neutral-point clamped (3L-NPC) back-to-back power converters seem promising for wind turbine systems with high power. Direct Model Predictive Control (DMPC) is an attractive technique, in particular, for multi-level converters. Voltage sensorless control makes the voltage measurements obsolete. This work proposes and verifies an Initial Bias Compensation based Virt...

this article deals with the issues associated with developing a new design methodology for the nonlinear model-predictive control (mpc) of a chemical plant. a combination of multiple neural networks is selected and used to model a nonlinear multi-input multi-output (mimo) process with time delays.  an optimization procedure for a neural mpc algorithm based on this model is then developed. the p...
