Real-time simulation and control systems

Summary form only given. Generation of electricity using wind power has received considerable attention worldwide in recent years. In order to investigate the impacts of the integration of wind farm into utilities' network various windmill models is developed. One such impact is related to the critical clearing time (…

This study involves the improvement of overall efficiency in series hybrid-electric vehicles (SHEVs) by restricting the operation of the engine to the optimal efficiency region, using a control strategy based on two chattering-free sliding mode controllers (SMCs). One of the designed SMCs performs engine speed control…

Since the late 1970s, intensive efforts have been made to utilize renewable energy sources to generate electric power. On the other hand, economical pressure experienced in recent years has led to the development of high efficiency combined heat and power schemes to use the normally wasted heat to generate electric po…

The wind industry is looking for ways to accurately predict reliability and availability of newly installed wind turbines. Failure modes, effects and criticality analysis (FMECA) is a technique utilized to determine the critical subsystems of wind turbines. There are several studies in the literature which have applie…
