Sliding mode control is a robust controller against modeling imprecisions and external disturbances, successfully employed to the dynamic positioning of autonomous underwater robot. In order to improve the performance of the whole system, the discontinuity in the control law must be smoothed out to avoid the undesirable chattering and unwanted ripples. One of the disadvantages […]
Carbon nanotube field effect transistors (CNTFET) with extraordinary properties such as high carrier mobility, excellent thermal conductivity and high current carrying capability could be seen as a good replacement for CMOS technology. By connecting gate and drain in carbon nanotube field effect transistor, this device operates as a diode, similar to a diode-connected transistor in […]
Under-voltage load shedding is an important measurement to maintain the voltage stability in power systems. In this paper, a new combined index is proposed for under-voltage load shedding. The proposed index is weighted combination of importance, sensitivity and value of loads. This is of paramount importance, since three vital factors such as importance of load, […]
In this paper, variable latency speculative Multiply-Accumulator (MAC) architectures are introduced. The proposed architectures use the idea of integrating the results vectors of multiplier in parallel with the accumulator to create asynchronous data paths design. The proposed variable latency speculative MACs consist of two short and long data paths and a circuit is used to […]
The use of solar energy has begun to be developed in PLTS, but the photovoltaic module electricity produced is not at maximum output power. To increase the efficiency of the photovoltaic module, Maximum PowerPoint Tracking (MPPT) technology is used. Differences in the level of solar energy irradiation can cause the output power of the solar […]
This article proposes a method for optimizing the energy systems in a distribution micro-grid using particle swarm optimization. The method considers the optimal production planning of simultaneous production systems and takes into account the loss of electric energy transmission resulting from the concurrent production systems to the grid bus. The article establishes the correlation between […]
To fabricate ultra-fine grain structures containing high strength, accumulative roll bonding is a kind of severe plastic deformation (SPD). In the present study, magnetic Al/ Fe2O3 composites reinforced with 0, 2.5% and 5Wt.% of Fe2O3 particles have been manufactured via ARB. A uniform distribution of Iron oxide particles was achieved after the 8th cycles of […]
In this study, the combination of Gray Wolf Optimization and Artificial neural networks (GWO-ANN) algorithm was applied to predict the long-term electricity demand in Iraq, considering the nonlinear trend and uncertainties in the variables affecting it. The results indicate that the population and gross domestic product are significant explanatory variables for long-term energy demand, consistent […]
A Harmonic Control Circuit (HCC) is one of the most important blocks in the Class-F power amplifiers, which should pass the even harmonics and suppress the odd harmonics. Long open stubs are usually used to suppress odd harmonics in the conventional Class-F power amplifiers, which resulted in the large size of the amplifiers. In this […]
