In this paper, optimal design of hybrid low damping base isolation and magnetorheological (MR) damper has been studied. Optimal hybrid base isolation system has been designed to minimize the maximum base drift of low damping base isolation system where for solving the optimization problem, genetic algorithm (GA) has been used. In design procedure the maximum acceleration of the structure has ...

To reduce the frequency deviation and rate of change (RoCoF) in a low-inertia power system, some converters are required to provide response (FR) normally associated with and/or RoCoF, by droop/inertia/PD control. In this article, rapid compensation (RPC)-based FR strategy is developed optimize ability compensate grid imbalance power, fully exploiting converter idle capacity. end, first, mathem...

This paper proposes a hybrid switching technique for a domestic PV system with AC-module architecture. In this PV system, independent control of PV modules, which are directly connected to DC terminals of a single-phase cascaded multilevel inverter, makes module-level MPPT possible to extract maximum available solar energy, especially in partial shading conditions. As one of the main contributi...

This paper addresses the issue of inertia mismatch from a theoretical and practical standpoint. Fundamentally, power transmission is optimized in a mechanical system if the load inertia matches the motor inertia. This may, or may not be practically implemented with gearing between motor and load. Gearing inertia, inefficiency, mechanical limits, and cost all factor into the decision as to wheth...
