Battery powered electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as a promising solution for reducing the consumption of fossil fuels in modern transportation systems. Unfortunately the battery pack has a low energy storage capacity, which causes the driving range of the EV to become very limited. It is therefore essential to properly characterize the different driving situations of the vehicle in order to...

A new robust load-frequency control (LFC) methodology is proposed for controlling uncertain nonlinear power systems. Critical nonlinearity in the power system—the valve position limit on the governor, and the parametric uncertainty are concerned. The Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy model of the power system under consideration is first constructed to design the robust fuzzy-model-based LFC. Sufficient cond...

This article presents a method of reducing the expected value of the transmission loss for a specified range of source impedance values at different buses by using inductor-capacitor compensators where it is desired to maintain a given power factor at a specified value. The criterion is based on mean value estimation of source and load characteristics, which is enabled by sampling measurements ...
