The focus of this study is on developing a framework for a Quantum Algorithm Processing Unit (QAPU) with the hybrid architecture for classical-quantum algorithms. The framework is used to increase the implementation performance of quantum algorithms and design Quantum Processing Units (QPU). The framework shows a general plan for the architecture of quantum processors who […]
Since the search process of the particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique is non-linear and very complicated, it is hard if not impossible, to mathematically model the search process and dynamically adjust the PSO parameters. Thus, already some fuzzy systems proposed to control the important structural parameters of basic PSO. However, in those researches no effort […]
Design of a robust controller via single objective constrained optimization using differential evolution (DE) is presented in this paper. A set robust feedback controller gain is optimized based on plant’s linear model having structured parametric uncertainty such that the closed-loop system would have the maximum stability radius. A wedge region is assigned as the optimization […]
The growing requirement to the clean and renewable energy has led to the rapid development of wind power systems all over the world. With increasing use of wind power in power systems, impact of the wind generators on sub-synchronous resonance (SSR) is going more important. The SSR is a well-known phenomenon in a series compensated […]
This paper analyzes the behavior of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) wind turbine using the maximum power extraction (MPE) method in response to wind speed fluctuations.

Soft switching techniques have recently been used for the design of DC-AC converters, in order to achieve better performance, higher efficiency and power density. One of the soft switching techniques applied in inverters is resonant DC links. These topologies have some disadvantage such as irregular current peak, large voltage peaks, uncontrollable pulse width, etc. Another […]

Creation of Distributed integrated circuit has been investigated for approximately seventy years rapidly to developing semiconductor process technologies in the modern IC design. By using of this method, multiple parallel signals are combined and obtain to increase the bandwidth, […]
Traffic road sign detection is important to a robotic vehicle that automatically drives on roads. As the colors of most traffic road signs are blue and red, in this paper, we use Hue- Saturation- Intensity (HSI) color space for color based segmentation at first. Using important geometrical features, the road signs are detected perfectly. After […]
In designing a parallel resonant induction heating system, choosing a proper capacitance for the resonant circuit is quite important. The capacitance affects the resonant frequency, output power, heating efficiency and power factor. In this paper, with consideration to function of the equivalent series resistance (ESR), optimal capacitance is calculated. The induction heating resonance capacitor is […]
