Therefore, the impact of those sources on the power system is becoming greater, due to their intermittent source. The current tendency is to remain the Wind Turbine (WT) connected to the grid during voltage dip or frequency variation according to the grid connection requirements (GCR). This paper proposes an application of a Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) associated to a direct drive WT and connected to the grid in order to evaluate its participation to the ancillary services. The main functions of the FESS is to smooth the variable power delivered by the wind source and to ensure the injection of the power needed for the grid in order to increase the rate of penetration of WT into the grid and to improve its contribution to the ancillary services.","PeriodicalId":432382,"journal":{"name":"2010 7th International Multi- Conference on Systems, Signals and Devices","volume":"142 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116587319","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}

The problem of reactive power compensation can be divided into three parts: planning, expansion and control. Planning means setting of the location and magnitude of reactive power compensation resources in the electrical systems. Expansion means pursuing the changes for the reactive power requirements along time. Control means the operation method to realize better standards. This paper explains the use of Genetic Algorithm (GA) Technique to solve the problem of optimal location and size of reactive compensation in Mosul ring buses.

Usually backfill soils around under-ground power cables lose their moisture content, forming dry bands around the cables and leading to an increase in the thermal resistance and decreasing in maximum current carrying capacity. But according to the results of the experimental works which are carried out in this paper, it is noticed that some types of soil lost their moisture content faster than the other. This means that the dry band around the cable in some soils form faster than the others. The aim of this paper is to determine the best type of artificial soil that can be used as backfill material to minimize the effect of dry bands that cause thermal failure to the cable insulation.","PeriodicalId":432382,"journal":{"name":"2010 7th International Multi- Conference on Systems, Signals and Devices","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132532190","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}

In this work the control system consists of sliding- mode control and an adaptive fuzzy logic control. An adaptive fuzzy approximation plays a dominant role to maintain the closed- loop stability. The sliding- mode control is inserted to handle the influence of external disturbance and fuzzy approximation error instead of upper bound of the plant. In this work a stable direct and an indirect fuzzy adaptive sliding-mode controller for a class of nonlinear system are developed. The developed algorithms guarantee the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system. Two simulation examples are given to illustrate the performance of the proposed methods. Computer simulation results confirm that effect of both external disturbance and fuzzy approximation error can be compensated by the developed methods. A comparative study is also conducted for both algorithms.","PeriodicalId":432382,"journal":{"name":"2010 7th International Multi- Conference on Systems, Signals and Devices","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134641513","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}

Yet, water puts a damper on communication capacity, slowing down the signal propagation and creating background noise and echoes. For thus systems and methods for implementing a control channel, e.g., in underwater communication system, are presented below. Aspects of the channel structures used to implement the control channel described herein, can improve error detection capabilities, reduce decoding complexity, and increase transmission efficiency. In certain aspects, transmission efficiency can be increased through using CRC encoding. A circular trellis check and Viterbi decoding can also be used to increase efficiency and maintain error detection capabilities. Symbol Error Rate (SER) can be reduced in embodiments described herein over that of tail-biting convolutional coding with a CRC. Furthermore, error detection offered by Reed Solomon encoder can well compensate underwater noise. Additionally, the encoder packet size can be fixed in order to facilitate decoding and reducing receiver complexity.","PeriodicalId":432382,"journal":{"name":"2010 7th International Multi- Conference on Systems, Signals and Devices","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130217597","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}

However, the size of the classifiers produced by associative classification algorithms is usually large and contains insignificant rules. This may degrade the classification accuracy and increases the classification time, thus, pruning becomes an important task. In this paper, we investigate the problem of rule pruning in text categorisation and propose a new rule pruning techniques called High Precedence. Experimental results show that HP derives higher quality and more scalable classifiers than those produced by current pruning methods (lazy and database coverage). In addition, the number of rules generated by the developed pruning procedure is often less than that of lazy pruning.","PeriodicalId":432382,"journal":{"name":"2010 7th International Multi- Conference on Systems, Signals and Devices","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133735451","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}
