Incorporating advanced software and hardware technologies, to create a two way electricity and information flow, is forming the concept of the smart grid (SG). In an SG the energy delivery and control not only autonomous but also efficient. Hence, intelligently-planned SG which aims to consume energy wisely will be able to gain benefits for both power grid and end-users. Thus, the end-user continuity...
Networked controlled systems comprise a team of dynamic systems which are linked together through a shared networked. From control systems perspective, the introduction of a shared networked brings its own challenges such as packet dropouts, time delays and clock synchronization. A popular application of networked controlled systems is to consider a team of collaborative mobile robots. Networked controlled...
World-wide scientists/engineers were motivated to research in the area of renewable energy resources and to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels. Hence, electric and hybrid vehicles have won the attention of many researchers and vehicles manufacturers. Electric vehicle requires a charging system having a high degree of reliability and robustness and to run maintenance-free. This brings the inductive...
A dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is a series connected device that can support the voltage at existing critical loads during voltage sags. Voltage restoration may need active and/or reactive power injection into the distribution feeder. Due to the limitation of the DVR energy storage element, the Interline Dynamic Voltage Restorer (IDVR) can be used to mitigate the voltage sag in distribution systems...
The notion of a hybrid fuel cell vehicle is promising in the sense that size and cost reductions for the fuel cell unit can be achieved by offloading much of the peak power requirements to an auxiliary energy storage device (either a battery or super-capacitor). However, to maximize the efficacy of such a system, a power management coordination unit (or controller)will need to be designed. Additionally,...
The polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has been projected to be the fuel cell of choice for future automotive applications. Among the most challenging aspect of this application is the occurrence of severe and frequent changes in power demand. This paper will present a model aimed at mimicking the load expected in a fuel cell vehicle, including a DC motor, DC-DC converters and a rechargeable...
