Small scale power generating technologies, such as gas turbines, small hydro turbines, photovoltaics, wind turbines and fuel cells, are gradually replacing conventional generating technologies, for various applications, in the electric power system. The industry restructuring process in the United States is exposing the power sector to market forces, which is creating competitive structures for...

The operation of Fuel Cell Distributed Generation (FCDG) systems in distribution systems is introduced by modeling, controller design, and simulation study of a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) distributed generation (DG) system. The physical model of the fuel cell stack and dynamic models of power conditioning units are described. Then, suitable control architecture based on fuzzy logic contro...

Distributed systems are getting more and more popular in every field of computing. This is also true for reactive systems. Traditional techniques for developing reactive systems are not very suitable for developing distributed reactive systems, because they are based on synchrony hypothesis, and it can not be hold in a distributed system. It is necessary to develop new techniques to deal with d...
