A Novel MPPT Control Design for Wind-Turbine Generation Systems Using Neural Network Compensator

In this study. based on the slope of the wind-turbine mechanical power versus rotation speed. a novel MPPT algorithm using neural network compensator is proposed to avoid the oscillation problem and effect of uncertain parameters in wind-turbine generation systems. Naturally. the characteristics of the wind-turbine rotation speed is determined by …

A VLSI Architecture for Enhancing the Fault Tolerance of NoC using Quad-spare Mesh Topology and Dynamic Reconfiguration

In this paper. a VLSI architecture employing router-level redundancy. referred to as a quad-spare mesh. is proposed for fault tolerant NoC designs. This design deals with the problem that a faulty router breaks the communication between healthy PEs. The proposed design significantly improves a system’s reliability and its mean time …

Transformer failure due to circuit breaker induced switching transients applicable to the cement industry

Switching transients associated with circuit breakers have been observed for many years. Recently this phenomenon has been attributed to a significant number of transformer failures involving primary circuit breaker switching. These transformer failures had common contributing factors such as 1) primary vacuum or SF-6 breaker. 2) short cable or bus …
