A Novel Two Stage Controller for a DC-DC Boost Converter to Harvest Maximum Energy from the PV Power Generation
(MDPI, 2020-04-14)
In this article, an efficient and fast two-stage approach for controlling DC-DC boost converter using non linear sliding mode controller for a PV power plant is proposed. The control approach is based on two online methods ...
Regulating Grip Forces through EMG-Controlled Protheses for Transradial Amputees
(MDPI, 2021-11-25)
This study aims to evaluate different combinations of features and algorithms to be used in the control of a prosthetic hand wherein both the configuration of the fingers and the gripping forces can be controlled. This ...
Grid Frequency and Amplitude Control Using DFIG Wind Turbines in a Smart Grid
(MDPI, 2021-01-11)
Wind-generated energy is a fast-growing source of renewable energy use across the world. A dual-feed induction machine (DFIM) employed in wind generators provides active and reactive, dynamic and static energy support. In ...
A Real-Time Implementation of Novel and Stable Variable Step Size MPPT
(MDPI, 2020-09-08)
This paper presents a complete study of a standalone photovoltaic (PV) system including a maximum power tracker (MPPT) driving a DC boost converter to feed a resistive load. Here, a new MPPT approach using a modification ...
Lot Streaming in Different Types of Production Processes: A PRISMA Systematic Review
(MDPI, 2021-10-19)
At present, any industry that wanted to be considered a vanguard must be willing to improve itself, developing innovative techniques to generate a competitive advantage against its direct competitors. Hence, many methods ...
An Enhanced Sliding Mode Speed Control for Induction Motor Drives
(MDPI, 2022-01-10)
In this paper, an enhanced Integral Sliding Mode Control (ISMC) for mechanical speed of an Induction Motor (IM) is presented and experimentally validated. The design of the proposed controller has been done in the d-q ...
A Modelization of the Propagation of COVID-19 in Regions of Spain and Italy with Evaluation of the Transmission Rates Related to the Intervention Measures
(MDPI, 2021-02-05)
Two discrete mathematical SIR models (Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered) are proposed for modelling the propagation of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) through Spain and Italy. One of the proposed models is delay-free while the ...
Supervision of the Infection in an SI (SI-RC) Epidemic Model by Using a Test Loss Function to Update the Vaccination and Treatment Controls
(MDPI, 2020-10-15)
This paper studies and proposes some supervisory techniques to update the vaccination and control gains through time in a modified SI (susceptible-infectious) epidemic model involving the susceptible and subpopulations. ...
Centralized Airflow Control to Reduce Output Power Variation in a Complex OWC Ocean Energy Network
(Wiley-Hindawi, 2020-08-18)
A centralized airflow control scheme for a complex ocean energy network (OEN) is proposed in this paper to reduce the output power variation (OPV). The OEN is an integrated network of multiple oscillating water columns ...
On the Use of Entropy Issues to Evaluate and Control the Transients in Some Epidemic Models
(MDPI, 2020-05-09)
This paper studies the representation of a general epidemic model by means of a first-order differential equation with a time-varying log-normal type coefficient. Then the generalization of the first-order differential ...
