The growth in demand for electric power and the rapid increase in fuel costs, in whole of theworld need to discover new energy resources for electricity production. Among of the nonconventionalresources, wind and solar energy, is known as the most promising deviceselectricity production in the future. In this thesis, we study follows to long-term generationscheduling of power systems in the pre...

This paper fully discusses how to design an observer based decentralized fuzzy adaptive controller for a class of large scale multivariable non-canonical nonlinear systems with unknown functions of subsystems’ states. On-line tuning mechanisms to adjust both the parameters of the direct adaptive controller and observer that guarantee the ultimately boundedness of both the tracking error and tha...

Graphene offers many useful properties that can revolutionize modern electronic devices. Specifically, it provides high charge carrier mobility in a mechanically robust, atomically thin form factor. Many of these are observed graphene which is prepared from exfoliated graphite and processed with electron beam lithography. These processes both time intensive cost- prohibitive for the large-scale...

in this paper, the problem of decentralized model reference adaptive control (mrac) for a class of large scale systems with time varying delay in interconnected term and input and state delays is studied. to compensate the effect of input delay indirectly, a smith predictor built on. to handle the effects of the time delays in input, the adaptive controller part includes two auxiliary dynamic f...

The objective of the project is to examine recent progress in two major areas of research – computer science and neuroscience, and their related fields – and to understand whether progress in understanding cognition in living systems has new insights to offer those researching the construction of artificial cognitive systems. * Authors listed in alphabetical order. Authorship of specific sectio...

ULS systems [1] are characterized by hundreds of thousands of hardware platforms and software systems connected through hierarchies of heterogeneous wireline and wireless networks. The development and maintenance of ULS systems is extremely hard due to the decentralization, dynamics, and heterogeneity of the computation and communication infrastructures that support these systems. The criticali...

Ultra-large scale control systems that are based on layered optimization decomposition and Network Utility Maximization (NUM) have structural properties and operational modes that givesuch control systems useful scalabilityand anti-fragile properties. We denote control architectures based on these principles as Laminar Control and we suggest that the structure so defined has properties such as ...
