This paper proposes Fuzzy Logic Based STATCOM. It regulates the voltage at the point of common coupling (PCC) by injecting reactive power. This device also plays a vital role in enhancing stability for small and large transient disturbances in power system. Simulations using MATLAB / SIMULINK are carried out to verify the performance of STATCOM using fuzzy controller. The result shows that fuzz...

Idealized Drawing Window: Because we generally do not have complete control over the window size, it is a good idea to think in terms of drawing on a rectangular idealized drawing region, whose size and shape are completely under our control. Then we will scale this region to fit within the actual graphics window on the display. There are many reasons for doing this. For example, if you design ...

Due to high dynamic response, current-controlled pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage source inverters (VSI) are widely used in high performance AC drive system for Industrial applications. The main objective of current controller is to force the load current vector to follow the reference trajectory in the three-phase load. There are three types of current controllers used in voltage source inv...

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has gained attention in recent years (Hoshi et al., 2001; Tamura, 2003). This non-invasive technique uses near-infrared light to evaluate increases or decreases in oxygenated hemoglobin or deoxygenated hemoglobin in tissues below the body surface. NIRS can detect the hemodynamics of the brain in real time while the subject is moving. Brain activity can therefor...

Technology advances allow us to design smart home system for the purpose to achieve high demand on occupants’ comfort. In this research, we focus on the temperature control to build a thermal comfort controller for the existing hybrid temperature control (HTC) system, which is based on the cyber-physical system (CPS) approach. By using air-conditioner, window and curtain, our proposed controlle...

THE SPATIOTEMPORAL WINDOW OF INTEGRATION HAS BECOME A WIDELY ACCEPTED CONCEPT IN MULTISENSORY RESEARCH: crossmodal information falling within this window is highly likely to be integrated, whereas information falling outside is not. Here we further probe this concept in a reaction time context with redundant crossmodal targets. An infinitely large time window would lead to mandatory integration...
