One of the most important issues in power system restoration is overvoltages caused by transformer switching. These overvoltages might damage some equipment and delay power system restoration. This paper presents a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) to study transformer switching overvoltages. To achieve good generalization capability for developed RBFNN, equivalent parameters of the ...

Time-State Control Form was proposed as one of the control method for nonholonomic systems. But this method needs input switching, so there is a drawback that the switching conditions may spoil the stability of the system. From the above backgrounds, this research considers the property of the control method based on Time-State Control Form from the viewpoint of hybrid systems. Then, we derive ...

One of the difficulties with PWM switching converters is high switching loss and electromagnetic interference due to switching at non-zero voltage and current, which limits the operating frequency. In order to reduce the converter volume and weight (by increasing the frequency) and reducing switching losses, zero voltage and current switching methods are recommended. In this paper, four main ze...

A two-level mixture linear dynamic system model, with frame-level switching parameters in the observation equation and with segment-level switching parameters in the target-directed state equation, is developed and evaluated. The main contributions of this work are: (1) the new framework for dealing with mixed-level switching in the dynamic system and (2) the novel use of piecewise linear funct...

The objective of this paper is to study the M/M/R machine repair queueing system with mixed standbys. The life-time and repair time of units are assumed to be exponentially distributed. Failed units are repaired on FCFS basis. The standbys have switching failure probability q (0≤q≤1). The repair facility of the system consists of R permanent as well as r additional removable repairmen. Due to i...

This two-part paper considers strategic topology switching for the second-order multi-agent system under attack. In Part II, we propose a strategy on switching topologies to reveal zero-dynamics attack. We first study the detectability of zero-dynamics attack for the second-order multi-agent system under switching topology, which has requirements on the switching times and switching topologies....
