Abstract: The paper illustrates a procedure to develop a dynamic simulation program for a single machine infinite bus (SMIB) test system using MATLAB/Simulink software. The program is useful to demonstrate various operational and stability challenges in power system operations. The method can be extended to make a program to simulate network having multiple synchronous machines, asynchronous ma...

This chapter gives an introduction to protocols for state-machine replication in groups that are connected by asynchronous networks and whose members are subject to arbitrary or “Byzantine” faults. It explains the principles of such protocols and covers the following topics: broadcast primitives, distributed cryptosystems, randomized Byzantine agreement protocols, and atomic broadcast protocols.

The aim of this article is propose a method to improve the direct torque control and design a Fuzzy Logic based Controller which can take necessary control action to provide the desired torque and flux of an asynchronous machine. It’s widely used in the industrial application areas due to several features such as fast torque response and less dependence on the rotor parameters. The major proble...

State feedback controllers can be used to restore predictable behavior of asynchronous sequential machines that are afflicted by a critical race. The present note presents necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such controllers. The controllers also assign a specified behavior to the controlled machine. Copyright ©IFAC 2002

The use of a Doubly Fed Asynchronous Machine (DFAM) provides attractive characteristics and offers operational flexibility in many variable speed generation applications, such as hydroelectric pumped storage plant. In plant, the start-up process DFAM is identical to conventional singly fed asynchronous machine, wherein significant amount energy wasted. This paper introduces an energy-efficient ...

Throughput analysis is important for the design, operation and management of manufacturing systems. Due to the large state space, exact analytical results only exist for two-machine serial lines. To analyse longer lines or more complex systems, the two-machine line model becomes the building block for further development. Therefore, many two-machine line models have been presented in the litera...

We present a significant advance in microfluidic digital logic that brings us very close to achieving fully autonomous microfluidic systems. Specifically, we demonstrate the first true finite state machine controller in microfluidics, along with an asynchronous counter and a semi-autonomous fluid handling system.

—The introduction of personal computers in engineering education allows using new complementary methods to reinforce theory and laboratory practices. In this paper, a complete software application is developed to study the behavior of the electric asynchronous machine using MATLAB®/Simulink. This tool allows complementing theoretical concepts, learning laboratory procedures and using software t...

| The advantages of the programmable control paradigm are widely known in the design of synchronous sequential circuits: easy correction of late design errors, easy upgrade of product families to meet time to market constraints, and modi cations of the control algorithm, even at run-time. However, despite the growing interest in asynchronous (self-timed) circuits, programmable asynchronous cont...
