We investigate harvesting electrical energy from Gaussian white, Gaussian colored, telegraph and random phase-random amplitude (RARP) noises, using linear and nonlinear electromechanical systems. We show that the output power of the linear system with one or two degrees of freedom, is maximum for the Gaussian white noise. The response of the system with two degrees of freedom is widened in a la...

This paper presents nonlinear frequency control characteristic for a dispatchable source to reduce fuel consumption in a standalone AC power system. Power management used in grid is local. The proposed frequency characteristics that are employed for the sources are designed based on grid model. To have robust frequency control characteristics, uncertainty in grid model that consists of load mod...
