The paper describes an algorithm for determining the line outage contingency of a line taking into account of line over load effect in remaining lines and subsequent tripping of over loaded line(s) leading to possible system split or islanding of a power system. The optimally ordered sparse [B 0], [B 00] matrices for the integrated system are used for load flow analysis to determine modified va...

Laguerre function has many advantages such as good approximation capability for different systems, low computational complexity and the facility of on-line parameter identification. Therefore, it is widely adopted for complex industrial process control. In this work, Laguerre function based adaptive model predictive control algorithm (AMPC) was implemented to control continuous stirred tank rea...

Grid computing has become conventional in distributed systems due to technological advancements and network popularity. Grid computing facilitates distributed applications by integrating available idle network computing resources into formidable computing power. As a result, by using efficient integration and sharing of resources, this enables abundant computing resources to solve complicated p...

We examine the effects of meta-level-communication in the DSRAP (Distributed Sequential Resource Allocation Problem). In DSRAP, independent tasks are categorized into different types, where each task belonging to a particular task type shares a known distribution of task arrivals, durations, reward rates, maximum waiting times, and resource demands. We first look at a single task type DSRAP (SD...

Gear’s normal contact stiffness played an important role in the mechanical equipment. In this paper, the M-B fractal model is modified and the contact surface coefficient is put forward to set up the fractal model, considering the influence of friction, which could be used to calculate accurately the involute arc cylindrical gears’ normal contact stiffness based on the fractal theory and Hertz ...

The objectives of load frequency control (LFC) are to minimize the transient deviations in these variables (area frequency and tie-line power interchange) and to ensure their steady state errors to be zeros. Since the tieline interfaces give rise to weakly coupled terms between areas, the large-scale power system can be decentralized into small subsystems through treating tie-line signals as di...
