In this study, the concept of Output Frequency Response Functions (OFRFs) is applied to represent the transmissibility of nonlinear isolators in frequency domain. With the OFRFs estimated from numerical simulation responses, an explicit analytical relationship between the transmissibility and the nonlinear characteristic parameters is derived for a wide class of nonlinear isolators that have nonlinear anti-symmetric damping characteristics and a comprehensive pattern about how the nonlinear damping characteristic parameters might affect the force and displacement transmissibility is built for the vibration isolators. The results reveal that it is reasonable to analyze the force and displacement transmissibility of the nonlinear isolators by simply investigating the fundamental harmonic components of the force and displacement outputs of the nonlinear isolators, and the introduction of a nonlinear anti-symmetric damping into vibration isolators can significantly suppress both the force and displacement transmissibility over the resonant frequency region, but has almost no effect on the transmissibility at non-resonant regions. These conclusions are of significant importance in the analysis and design of the nonlinear vibration isolators with nonlinear anti-symmetric damping.

This paper describes the control strategies to be adopted for the operation of a MicroGrid when it operates isolated from the main grid (that is, in Islanded Operation). The MicroGrids studied here comprise a variety of inverter-interfaced distributed energy sources (typically, photovoltaic arrays, wind turbines and diesel generators), together with energy storage devices (batteries) and controllable loads. Some simulation results obtained with the presented control scheme are presented.

In this paper, fuzzy logic controller is designed for balancing a two-wheeled inverted pendulum robot prototype considering the tilt angle as feedback. Tilt angle sensing error is reduced by adopting a sensor fusion technique. The controller is implemented on an AVR 8-bit microcontroller. The Fuzzy rules are coded and stored in the microcontroller memory. The experimental results show that the robot has the ability to balance during its movement.

This paper describes an application in home automation based on wireless sensor network for monitoring of an electrical network in the consumption and quality of supply energy. The system allows scalability and flexibility with low cost. When installing sensors in each plug, it is possible to draw a map of the building to see areas where there is greater demand for electricity as well as places where there is too much distortion. Gateway is configured for the IEEE 802.15.4 to IEEE 802.3 and MATLAB was used to monitor data. The calculations of power and harmonic distortion are performed on each sensor.
