This paper investigates the robust decentralized nonlinear control of power flow in a power system using a new configuration of UPFC. This structure comprises two shunt converters and one series capacitor called as hybrid power flow controller (HPFC). A controller is designed via control Lyapunov function (CLF) and adaptive observer to surmount the problems of stability such as tracking desired...

We present a novel approach for solving the probabilistic bounded reachability problem of hybrid systems with parameter uncertainty. Standard approaches to this problem require numerical solutions for large optimization problems, and become unfeasible for systems involving nonlinear dynamics over the reals. Our approach combines randomized sampling of probabilistic system parameters, SMT-based ...

in this paper, a hybrid solid oxide fuel cell (sofc) and micro gas turbine (mgt) power system is parametrically studied to evaluate the effect of different operating conditions. the sofc/mgt power system includes sofc reactor, combustion chamber, compressor and turbine units, and two heat exchangers. the effects of fuel utilization, temperature, and pressure are assessed on performance of the h...

Background Recently, development of chaos theory brings up scientist into a new era in analyzing nonlinear systems. It is known that the chaos exhibits a deterministic random behavior. In particular, the OGY (OttGrebogi-Yorke) method drove the research of chaos control to nonlinear analyst. Yet it needs more investigation on such nonlinear systems in designing control algorithms. Recently, Vinc...

Averaging theory for ordinary differential equations is extended to a class of hybrid systems. Rapid time variations in the flow map of a hybrid system generate solutions that are also solutions of a slightly perturbed time-invariant average hybrid system. Results relating solutions of the time-varying system to solutions of the average system ensue. In the absence of finite escape times for th...

A hybrid projective synchronization scheme for two identical fractional-order chaotic systems is proposed in this paper. Based on the stability theory of fractional-order systems, a controller for the synchronization of two identical fractional-order chaotic systems is designed. This synchronization scheme needs not to absorb all the nonlinear terms of response system. Hybrid projective synchro...

In this paper, in addition to introduce a hybrid structural system contained local isolators and dampers, its behavior and functional capabilities were studied on a conventional structure. For this purpose, an RC frame building with six-story was designed based on valid codes and then, in four cases based on the number of spans, it was split into two separate adjacent frames. Base isolation was...

Both theoretical and empirical findings have suggested that combining different models can be an effective way to improve the predictive performance of each individual model. It is especially occurred when the models in the ensemble are quite different. Hybrid techniques that decompose a time series into its linear and nonlinear components are one of the most important kinds of the hybrid model...
