This paper presents a single-objective model predictive control for bidirectional DC-DC flying capacitor (FC) converter, which integrates battery to the microgrid. The presence of multiple FCs facilitates converter interface low-voltage high-voltage DC bus at reduced voltage stress on its power switches. However, such requires controller that fulfils objectives, namely and FC regulations, flow....

BACKGROUND Aortopulmonary collaterals (APCs) have been associated with increased morbidity after the Fontan operation. We aimed to quantify APC flow after bidirectional cavopulmonary connections and Fontan completions, using phase-contrast MRI, and to identify risk factors for the development of APCs. METHODS AND RESULTS APC blood flow was quantifiable in 24 of 36 retrospectively analyzed MRI...

flexible ac transmission systems (facts) controllers with its ability to directly control the power flow can offer great opportunities in modern power system, allowing better and safer operation of transmission network. in this paper, in order to find type, size and location of facts devices in a power system a dedicated improved particle swarm optimization (dipso) algorithm is developed for de...

Microfluidic field-effect flow control (FEFC) modifies the zeta potential of electroosmotic flow using a transverse electric field applied through the microchannel wall. Previously demonstrated in silicon-based and glass microsystems, FEFC is presented here as an elegant method for flow control in polymer-based microfluidics with a simple and low-cost fabrication process. In addition to direct ...

The demand of electricity globally led to the concept renewable energy resources for power generation that are eco-friendly and freely available from nature. solar photovoltaic systems wind-based generators considered as primary called Distributed Generation units they scattered in These operated with bidirectional converters by providing auxiliary services at grid side load either mode microgr...

We have introduced evolutionary game dynamics to a one-dimensional cellular-automaton to investigate evolution and maintenance of cooperative avoiding behavior of self-driven particles in bidirectional flow. In our model, there are two kinds of particles, which are right-going particles and left-going particles. They often face opponent particles, so that they swerve to the right or left stocha...

This paper presents a hierarchical control strategy for heat and electric power control of a building integrating hybrid renewable power sources including photovoltaic, fuel cell and battery energy storage with Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEV) in smart distribution systems. Because of the controllability of fuel cell power, this power sources plays the main role for providing heat and electric p...
