The significant penetration rate of wind turbines in power systems made some challenges in the operation of the systems such as large-scale power fluctuations induced by wind farms. Gas-fired plants with fast starting ability and high ramping can better handle natural uncertainties of wind power compared to other traditional plants. Therefore, the integration of electrical and natural gas syste...

In distributed and interconnected four mult implemented as large scale interconnected systems in a laboratory setup. nonlinear and distributed method observer design method. I. Introduction With the advancement of modern technologies, the complexity degree of technical systems is continuosly increasing. The complexity i dimensionality. Such systems are often considered as a set of interconnecte...

This paper deals with the performance of a heat pipe solar collector. The solar collector consisted of an interconnected heat pipe so as to reduce the production cost by using an interconnected heat pipe because all the heat pipes can be evacuated, sealed and tested at once. Performance of a prototype of the heat pipe solar collector was experimentally examined, and the results were compared wi...

This article discusses the design process for a formation flight experiment constructed at Cornell University. The primary motivation for the testbed is to explore control design and analysis for interconnected systems. These systems are comprised of many similar units that interact directly with their nearest neighbors, and that have sensing and actuating capabilities at every unit. The result...
