A new type of single-phase stand-alone induction generator using a three-phase induction machine and a single-phase voltage-source PWM inverter is introduced. The generator scheme is capable of producing constant load frequency with a very well regulated output voltage. A small lead acid battery and a single-phase full diode-bridge rectifier are used to feed the inverter. The inverter feeds one...

this paper presents a novel indirect adaptive power system stabilizer (pss) via a developed synergetic control methodology and fuzzy systems. fuzzy system is utilized in an adaptive scheme to estimate the system using a nonlinear model. the synergetic control guarantees robustness of the controller and makes the controller easy to implement because of using a chatter free continuous control law...

This paper addresses a production and outbound distribution scheduling problem in which a set of jobs have to be process on a single machine for delivery to customers or to other machines for further processing. We assume that there is a sufficient number of vehicles and the delivery costs is independent of batch size but it is dependent on each trip. In this paper, we present an Artificial Imm...

despite existing various integer programming for sequencing problems, there is not enoughinformation about practical values of the models. this paper considers the problem of minimizing maximumlateness with release dates and presents four different mixed integer programming (mip) models to solve thisproblem. these models have been formulated for the classical single machine problem, namely sequ...

This paper addresses the problem of optimizing the scheduling of a production system, using a decentralized heuristic in a parallel machine environment. The proposed algorithm extends the use of the traveling salesman problem for scheduling in single machine models to a multiple machine problem. Here, the algorithm is applied to a complex production environment with time constrains, and its per...

The production planning problem of flexible manufacturing system (FMS) concerns with decisions that have to be made before an FMS begins to produce parts according to a given production plan during an upcoming planning horizon. The main aspect of production planning deals with machine loading problem in which selection of a subset of jobs to be manufactured and assignment of their operations to...
