Emergent synchronisation properties of a refrigerator demand side management system
(Elsevier, 2013-01)
In order to analyse the possibilities of improving grid stability on island systems by local demand response mechanisms,a multi-agent simulation model is presented. To support the primary reserve, an under-frequency load ...
Towards complex system design and management in the engineering domain – the smart grid challenge
(Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 2013-06-30)
Our world is facing a significant challenge from climate change and global warming, coupled with an increased awareness about the importance of preserving the environment. This challenge calls for us to use our resources ...
Multi-agent modelling for the simulation of a simple smart microgrid
(Elsevier, 2013-11)
The smart grid is a highly complex system that is being formed from the traditional power grid, adding new and sophisticated communication and control devices. This will enable integrating new elements for distributed power ...
Sliding mode position control for real-time control of induction motors
(ICIC International, 2013-07)
A sliding mode position control for high-performance real-time applications of induction motors in developed in this work. The design also incorporates a simple flux estimator in order to avoid the flux sensors. Then, the ...
Performance of an Ocean Energy Conversion System with DFIG Sensorless Control
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013-05)
The 2009/28/EC Directive requires Member States of the European Union to adopt a National Action Plan for Renewable Energy. In this context, the Basque Energy Board, EVE, is committed to research activities such as the ...
On the Selection of Non-Invasive Methods Based on Speech Analysis Oriented to Automatic Alzheimer Disease Diagnosis
(MDPI, 2013-05)
The work presented here is part of a larger study to identify novel technologies and biomarkers for early Alzheimer disease (AD) detection and it focuses on evaluating the suitability of a new approach for early AD diagnosis ...
Effective and Robust Generalized Predictive Speed Control of Induction Motor
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013-10-16)
This paper presents and validates a new proposal for effective speed vector control of induction motors based on linear Generalized Predictive Control (GPC) law. The presented GPC-PI cascade configuration simplifies the ...
FTT-MA: A Flexible Time-Triggered Middleware Architecture for Time Sensitive, Resource-Aware AmI Systems
(MDPI, 2013-05)
There is an increasing number of Ambient Intelligence (AmI) systems that are time-sensitive and resource-aware. From healthcare to building and even home/office automation, it is now common to find systems combining ...
Designing High Performance Factory Automation Applications on Top of DDS
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2013-04-22)
DDS is a recent specification aimed at providing high-performance publisher/subscriber middleware solutions. Despite being a very powerful flexible technology, it may prove complex to use, especially for the inexperienced. ...
Operating Point Optimization of a Hydrogen Fueled Hybrid Solid Oxide Fuel Cell-Steam Turbine (SOFC-ST) Plant
(MDPI, 2013-09-30)
This paper presents a hydrogen powered hybrid solid oxide fuel cell-steam turbine (SOFC-ST) system and studies its optimal operating conditions. This type of installation can be very appropriate to complement the intermittent ...
