the harmonic in distribution systems becomes an important problem due to an increase in nonlinear loads. this paper presents a new approach based on a graph algorithm for optimum placement of passive harmonic filters in a multi-bus system, which suffers from harmonic current sources. the objective of this paper is to minimize the network loss, the cost of the filter and the total harmonic disto...

Random processes of bounded variation are generated by using of randomized sinusoidal model and nonlinear filter model. In the randomized sinusoidal model, random noises ar\e introduced in phase angles; while in the nonlinear filter model, a set of nonlinear Itô differential equations are employed. In both methods, the spectral density of a modeled random process can be matched by adjusting mod...

The lifting scheme is an efficient and flexible method for the construction of linear and nonlinear wavelet transforms. In the nonlinear lifting scheme, it is difficult to design the optimal update filter corresponding to the nonlinear prediction filter. It is well-known that the combination use of linear filter and nonlinear filter is an efficient filter pair. In this paper, we propose a novel...

The ever increase of nonlinear loads in electric distribution networks causes many problems due to the high level of harmonic currents. This paper proposes a new technique for controlling a single phase shunt active power filter based on a selective compensation using the newly developed technique of harmonic control arrays. Simulation results confirm the appropriate selective harmonic compensa...

In this paper, after defining pure proportional navigation guidance in the 3-dimensional state from a new point of view, range estimation for passive homing missiles isexplained. Modeling has been performed by using line of sight coordinates with a particulardefinition. To obtain convergent estimates of those state variables involved particularly inrange channel and unavailable from IR trackers...

Passive nonlinear filters provide a rich source of evolving spectra for sound synthesis. This paper describes a nonlinear allpass filter of arbitrary order based on the normalized ladder filter. It is expressed in FAUST recursively in only two statements. Toward the synthesis of cymbals and gongs, it was used to make nonlinear waveguide meshes and feedback-delay-network reverberators.

In this paper, a tracking algorithm for autonomous navigation of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) operating in container terminals is presented. The developed tracking algorithm is an interacting multiple model algorithm used to detect other AGVs using fused information from multiple sensors. In order to detect other AGVs, two kinematic models were derived: A constant velocity model for linear ...
