This paper proposed a new converter topology to drive induction motors. The proposed topology has the ability to boost the DC link input voltage in case of DC link voltage shortage without any additional converter. This converter employs two additional switches and one capacitor in each phase compared to conventional converters. More over this new […]
Control of biped walking robots based on designated smooth and stable trajectories is a challenging problem that is the focus of this article. Because of highly nonlinear dynamics of biped robots, minor uncertainties in systems parameters may drastically affect the system performance, leading to chattering phenomenon. To tackle this, a new Sliding Mode Control (SMC) […]
The completely Electric Power System encompass three parts: Generation, Transmission, and Distribution that all require maintenance to better system reliability and energy efficiency. Most generation maintenance scheduling (GMS) packages consider preventive maintenance scheduling for generating units over one or two year's time horizon to lessen the total operation costs while fulfilling system energy requirements. In […]
In this paper, a new full rate, full diversity 22 STBC with linear complexity in the receiver is introduced for keyhole channels, where the rank-deficiency of the channel matrix degrades system performance. This code is optimized based on the known criteria for these types of the channels. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed code outperforms […]
A silicon on diamond structure to improve DIBL is presented. The electrical field penetration through the buried insulator of diamond degrades the DIBL. In the new structure, a second, double insulating material, e.g. SiO2 is added on top of the buried insulator and partially covers the diamond. The second insulating material has lower electrical permittivity. […]
DG (dispersed generation) application has received increasing attention during recent years. The impact of DG on various aspects of distribution system characteristics depends highly on DG location in distribution feeder. This paper presents an optimization method to determine long term optimal DG placement in distribution systems in which system reliability and operational constraints as well […]
In this paper, a hybrid of Neural Network (NN) and Fast Traversal Filter (FTF) based controller is used to determine the optimal parameters of Load Frequency Control (LFC) of a realistic two area power system. The two area power system is modeled considering the various non -linearities like governor dead band, generation rate constraint (GRC) […]
With respect to the increasing growth in the subscribers of wireless cellular networks and the necessity of providing network services with reasonable quality in any location, the importance of enhancement in the wireless network services is deeply felt. This means that network users expect to receive voice, data, and multimedia services with reasonable QoS, regardless […]
In this paper an approach is presented for edge detection of noisy images that have been degraded by impulsive noise. It uses Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). Starting with, using the FIS with 12 simple rules is to identify the noisy pixels in order to perform the filtering operation only for […]
The demand for RFID tags has recently increased due to the development of the RFID. Over the past decade, great efforts have been devoted to the design of RFID tags without chip inside. The concept of chipless RFID tags appears to be a promising solution for low cost item tagging because the cost of active […]
