This paper develops an adaptive control method for controlling frequency and voltage of an islanded mini/micro grid (M/µG) using reinforcement learning method. Reinforcement learning (RL) is one of the branches of the machine learning, which is the main solution method of Markov decision process (MDPs). Among the several solution methods of RL, the Q-learning method is used for solving RL in th...

This paper addresses to enhance the stability of8T SRAM bitcell by lowering its leakage power. Scaling down of process parameters such as supply voltage affects the Read ability and Write stability of the cell. As number of transistors on chip increases power dissipation also increases and as a result of this stability of the cell gets affected. This paper aims at reducing the leakage power and...

In this paper the effect of presence of wind farms on relay coordination at fault condition and transient response at reclosing condition is studied. Wind farms as one of the important distribution generations (DGs) are so effective on overcurrent relay coordination in power systems. As well as Wind farms cause to severe oscillations on voltage, power and frequency in power system after reclosi...

Voltage stability analysis is the major concern in order to operate any power system as secured. In this context there are many research work has been carried out to improve the voltage stability. This study demonstrates the use of latest Power System Analysis Toolbox (PSAT) package for network analysis of alternative means of improving existing transmission system voltage stability. This paper...

This paper presents a new centralized adaptive method under frequency load shedding. Sometimes, after initial frequency drop following severe disturbances, although the system frequency returns to its permissible value, however, the system might become unstable due to voltage problems. In this regard, the paper proposes a new centralized adaptive load shedding method to enhance the voltage stab...

Although LCL filters are used widely in the grid connected inverters to reduce high-orderharmonics, such a system increases system order and therefore sustainable design of closed-loopcontroller system will be complicated. Recently, the single-loop control strategy has beensuggested for L or LC filter based grid-connected inverters. However, the use of single-loopcontrol directly in LCL filter-...

This paper proposes a single-loop repetitive voltage control strategy which incorporates the active damping control feature for single-phase uninterruptible power supply (UPS) applications. The proposed method reduces the effect of the LC resonant peak, which limits the control bandwidth and deteriorates the stability of the entire control loop by effectively increasing the damping component. D...

Loadability limits are critical points of particular interest in voltage stability assessment, indicating how much a system can be stressed from a given state before reaching instability. Thus estimating the loadability margin of a power system is essential in the real time voltage stability assessment. A new methodology is developed based on Support Vector Regression (SVR) which is the most co...

In this paper a Super-Fast Low-Power (SFLP) static random access memory (SRAM) cell has been proposed. The SFLP cell contains two tail transistors in the pull-down path of the respective inverter to minimize the write power consumption The cell is simulated in terms of speed, power and read stability. The simulated results show that the read and write power of the proposed cell is reduced up to...
