This paper develops Lyapunov functions for power systems which have dynamic reactive power loads. These functions are extensions of earlier Lyapunov functions derived for structure preserving power system models having static loads. In order to obtain strict Lyapunov functions, the transient response of the dynamic load must have a logarithmic dependence on voltage. A Lyapunov function is initi...

Abstract Blast loading and its interaction with structures is a complex phenomenon even in the simplest of cases and modelling its effects is a non-trivial task. This complexity is increased when dealing with long duration blast due to the drag loads associated with the dynamic pressure. This paper establishes a scientific benchmark for the debris distribution modelling of masonry panels as the...

This paper presents semidefinite programming approaches for computing confidential bounds for the dynamic steady-state responses of a damped structure subjected to uncertain driving loads. We assume that amplitudes of harmonic driving loads obey a non-probabilistic uncertainty model. The semidefinite programming problems are formulated for finding confidential bounds for various characteristic ...

The problem of voltage unbalance and its impacts on sensitive loads is well known. To solve these problems, custom power devices are used such as dynamic voltage restorer (DVR), which is most efficient and effective modern device. This paper discusses a review of the researches on the Dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) for power quality Improvement in power distribution networks. Sensitivity indust...

With dynamic loading like landing impact a distinction should be made between relatively short and long, quasistatic loading durations, and loadings the durations of which are in the order of the longest lateral period (lowest eigenfrequency) of the structure. A particular problem is to be expected under the later loadings where the interaction of loading dynamics with the dynamics of the buckl...
