Hybrid moment frame come together with reinforced concrete columns with structural steel beams (RCS). This Composite system provides several key advantages over current steel or concrete moment resisting frame. Past studies have shown this system to be efficient in both design and building stage while able to keep sufficient strength and necessary ductility in seismic zone.Although past researc...

exploitation of the full potential of any hybrid requires the possessing of genetically high-purity seeds. commercial soybean hybrids have been developed using a cytoplasmic male sterility (cms) system. in order to avoid reduction in yield caused by using low-purity seeds, development of a simple, rapid, and accurate method for hybrid purity assessment is of great essence and significance. ther...

In this paper, a model for hybrid transmission expansion planning (TEP) and reactive power planning (RPP) considering demand response (DR) model has been presented. In this study RPP considered by TEP for its effects on lines capacity and reduction of system expansion costs. On the other hand the expansion of the transmission system is an important subject, especially dealing with the new i...

The idea of a microgrid is created by utilizing more diverse ac or dc distributed generation (DG) sources along with an energy storage system (ESS) and loads. The most efficient and reliable selection of ac and dc microgrids is a hybrid ac/dc microgrid. The hybrid microgrid largely overcomes the shortcomings of standalone ac or dc microgrids. A bidirectional interlinking converter (BIC) is util...

We present results on existence of continuous selections of trajectories of hybrid systems evolving according to Lipschitz nonlinear inclusions. First, we utilize the Skorohod metric to de4ne both a family of pseudo-metrics and a metric on the set of trajectories accepted by the hybrid automaton. We show that under a non-Zeno condition the latter metric is complete. Second, the existence of con...

Hybrid system models combine continuous behavior evolution with discrete mode transitions. These transitions may cause discontinuous changes in the field that defines continuous system behavior and the variable values associated with the continuous state vector. In reality, these discontinuous changes are fast continuous transients. To simplify the analysis of these transients time scale and pa...

In this paper we consider the problem of extracting an abstraction from a hybrid control system while preserving timed languages. Such consistent abstractions are clearly useful as the abstracted, higher level model could be used for controller synthesis or verification of the more complicated lower level model. The class of abstracting maps we consider in this paper compress only the continuou...
