The development of communications and telecommunications infrastructure, followed by the extension of a new generation of smart distribution grids, has brought real-time control of distribution systems to electrical industry professionals’ attention. Also, the increasing use of distributed generation (DG) resources and the need for participation in the system voltage control, which is possible ...

voltage stability may be improved by various control functions. in this paper, it is shown that how high side voltage control (hivc) may be employed for this purpose. two test systems, namely a 22- bus and ieee u8-bus systems are used to demonstrate the proposed tuning strategy for hsvc control parameters.

in this article, a speed control of dc motor is designed and illustrated using fuzzy logic-based programmable logic controller (plc). the dc motor is an attractive part of electrical equipment in many industrial applications requiring variable speed and load specifications due to its ease of controllability. the designed system is consisted of three main parts including programmable logic contr...

Natural systems retain significant advantages over engineered systems in many aspects, including size and versatility. In this research, we develop a hybrid robotic system using American (Periplaneta americana) and discoid (Blaberus discoidalis) cockroaches that uses the natural locomotion and robustness of the insect. A tethered control system was firstly characterized using American cockroach...

Designed specifically for the power industry, the OvationTM control system manages captive power plant generators to cost-effectively satisfy power and steam demands while maintaining stable operating conditions ...

In automatic control education, real examples always improve students’ learning and motivation. Considering this fact, a hardware-in-the-loop, low-cost altitude control system for a radiocontrolled (RC) airplane has been developed to improve automatic control education. This system constitutes a high-impact demonstrator for teaching automatic control topics, applied to a real-life problem. The ...

Digital control experiments are important parts of electrical engineering course in modern electrical schools. A virtual digital control experimental system is developed for undergraduates to learn digital control principals and to practice online. Based on the digital control hardware experiment platform, the practical circuit model is developed. And some digital control algorithms are employe...

Today's power plants are highly automated. All subsystems of large thermal power plants can be controlled from a central control room. One subsystems area is the electrical auxiliaries for the unit transformer, the grid connection, excitation, synchronization, generator/unit protection, auxiliary transformers, HV-, MV-and LV-switchgear. In the past, these electrical devices were all hardwired t...
