This article presents an overview of electrification in Brazil, especially the Amazon region, showing challenges encountered this part country, which for most remain with cities as isolated systems because it is not connected to national interconnected electrical grid. The contextualizes entire joint effort between government and private sector, well presenting actions that are currently being ...

In recent years, with regional integrated seabed resource exploitation continuing to expand, offshore oilfield power systems have gradually become networked, forming an multi-platform interconnected system. this paper, a two-level optimization model for system structure is developed. The lower-level uses minimum cut-load cost that considers load priority calculate the outage losses of all N-1 f...

Epistemologically speaking, second language acquisition research (SLAR) might be reconsidered from a complex dynamical system view with interconnected aspects in the ecosystem of language acquisition. The present paper attempts to introduce the tenets of complex system theory and its application in SLAR. It has been suggested that the present dominant traditions in language acquisition research...

This paper makes use of the concept of a finite–time Lyapunov function to derive a non– conservative small-gain theorem for stability analysis of interconnected discrete–time nonlinear systems. Firstly, it is shown that the existence of a global finite–time Lyapunov function is equivalent to global asymptotic stability (GAS) of the overall interconnected system. Secondly, it is indicated that e...
