In this paper an optimal controller is proposed for a self-balancing electrical vehicle called Segway PT. This vehicle has one platform and two wheels on the sides and the rider stands on the platform. A handlebar, as a navigator, is attached to the body of Segway, with which the rider controls the vehicle. Since Segway uses electrical energy produced by batteries, resource consumption manageme...

In this study, an unsteady aerodynamic simulation is performed to realize the influences of platform surge motion on the aerodynamic performance of a high capacity offshore floating wind turbine. A dynamic model with pitch angle control system is utilized to propose a more realistic model of wind turbine and also achieve the rated condition of the rotor. The transient effect of platform surge m...

This report covers the studies of energetic particle propagation and acceleration presented during the 27th ICRC in sessions OG 1.3 and 1.4 , plus a few selected papers from neighbouring OG sections. We list problems discussed within these sections and we shortly describe selected interesting achievements and/or novel approaches.
