Microgrids (MGs) in distribution networks have been dramatically increasing due to integration of distributed renewable sources. With connection of MGs, utility grid and customer supply becomes more reliable. An emergency modes for MGs must be envisaged after a general black out. Considering operating and control flexibility, capability of grid-tied, and autonomous operation, MGs with energy storages...
Plasmonic metamaterials based on assemblies of metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) have finely tunable optical properties, which can be tailored for different applications, from sensing to waveguiding [1], [2]. Nanorods and nanorod arrays have been widely studied both theoretically and experimentally. In addition to the transverse and longitudinal localised surface plasmon resonances (LSPR), when arranged...
Transition metal sulfides with small bandgap are attractive for solar cell applications since most transition metals are abundant and many can be deposited in solution. Pyrite FeS2, with a bandgap of 0.95 eV, is one of the most desirable for solar cell applications. The problem with FeS2 is that its bandgap is ∼0.45 eV smaller than the optimum bandgap for maximum efficiency, which should be ∼1.4 eV...
A sliding mode observer in the presence of sampled output information and its application to fault reconstruction is studied. The observer is designed by using the delayed continuous-time representation of the sampled-data system, for which a set of Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) provide conditions for the ultimate boundedness. It is shown that an ideal sliding motion cannot be achieved in the...
