This paper introduced a new scheme to detect and isolate multiple faults in complex discrete event systems. This scheme comprises a set of discrete rules and an inference engine. The former characterizes the dynamic behavior of a process that is modeled by a Petri net and the latter infers the consequent part of the fired rules. The consequent parts are aggregated and compared with the original Petri net model of the process for detecting multiple faults. The proposed inference engine follows the forward reasoning strategy that fires transitions from the initial marking until the final marking is reached. Industrial processes are employed for testing the soundness of the proposed scheme.","PeriodicalId":270763,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Automation and Power Engineering","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131934072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PFC was achieved through current harmonics mitigation by using PWM boost regulator. The circuit utilizes the charging and disc arching increments of boost inductor current to shape a sinusoidal input current. Inductor current was controlled by means of PWM controller. The controller accepts two feed back signals, the first is the inductor current and the other is the output voltage of the AC/DC converter. The simulation results of fast fourier transform FFT show a grate reduction in current harmonic which in turns tends to a grate improvement in power factor.","PeriodicalId":270763,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Automation and Power Engineering","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125566286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
