A novel dual power flow wind power generation system based on electrical variable transmission (EVT) is proposed which combines the advantages of direct-driven and non-direct-driven systems. In this paper, the principles of the dual power flow wind power generation system are presented. The dynamic model and operation modes of the double layer permanent magnet outer rotor based EVT are introduced. Furthermore, the operation processes and control strategies of the novel system are simulated and analyzed. An EVT prototype machine is designed and verified by finite element analysis (FEA).

The ubiquity of multicore processors in commodity computing systems has raised a significant programming challenge for their effective use. An attractive but challenging approach is automatic parallelization of sequential codes. Although virtually all production C compilers have automatic shared-memory parallelization capability, it is rarely used in practice by application developers because of limited effectiveness. In this paper we describe our recent efforts towards developing an effective automatic parallelization system that uses a polyhedral model for data dependences and program transformations.

This paper presents a robust adaptive control design methodology for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) plants based on Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT) and Externally Excited Adaptive System (EEAS), both of which are the novel ideas of Horowitz. Self Oscillating Adaptive Systems (SOAS) are proposed to mainly overcome the problem of large gain variations, which is important in certain applications. To further improve the SOAS design, the idea of EEAS was developed. Finally, combined QFT and EEAS proposed a robust adaptive controller for SISO uncertain plants. However, due to the complex design nature of the proposed combined methodology and the difficulty of an optimal design, this line of Horowitz's research was not followed further. In this paper, to overcome the above mentioned problems the design procedure is reformulated as a set of cost functions and constraints. Genetic Algorithms are then used to solve the optimal design. Also, QFT/EEAS design is extended to multivariable uncertain plants. Sufficient conditions are derived to assure the achievement of given off-diagonal performance. Then, the given main channel performance could be achieved by using SISO QFT/EEAS method. Simulation studies indicate the effective performance of the proposed QFT/EEAS MIMO design methodology. It is shown that the proposed approach can handle large plant parameter uncertainties with lower loop bandwidths.

A previously proposed approach based on RBF neural networks for detecting anomaly location is extended to estimate the anomaly size. First, a predefined number of threshold values are selected in the range of possible anomaly sizes. Next, RBF neural networks are used as classifiers to classify the anomaly size as being smaller or larger than each threshold value. The inputs of the classifiers are the data obtained from EIT boundary measurements. The anomaly size can be estimated by properly cascading the classifiers. The estimation precision is adjusted by the number of threshold values.

This paper presents a simple second-order controller that damps the resonance typical of piezoelectric nanopositioners and delivers good tracking performance. This method employs the Integral Resonant control scheme (IRC) for damping the dominant resonant mode of the piezoelectric nanopositioner and uses an integral controller to achieve tracking performance. As disturbance rejection is a main concern in nanopositioning applications, the control scheme is tested for its disturbance rejection performance. It is seen that the control scheme has good disturbance rejection characteristics deeming it suitable for nanopositioning applications. To test the tracking performance, the system is made to track a 20 Hz triangular input at various integral gains. It is shown that improved tracking performance can be achieved at high gains with only a slight degradation in disturbance rejection performance at high frequencies.

A new approach for EIT image reconstruction, based on a modified forward solution is proposed. In this approach, the EIT forward problem is solved via finite element method using two types of elements. At the early stage of the reconstruction, first order elements are used, and as the reconstruction error becomes lower than a predefined value, second order elements are used in the forward solution. The latter stage converges to the precise results in very few iterations. Since the solution speed with first order FEM is considerably higher than second order FEM, the reconstruction speed improves considerably by this approach. Numerical simulations and comparisons with other image reconstruction methods demonstrate the reliability and high solution speed of this approach.

Transient response of coupling capacitor voltage transformers (CCVT) can result in malfunctions of fast impedance relays such as overreaching, underreaching or direction errors. Detailed model of a practical CCVT is used in this paper for simulation of input source error of the distance relay caused by the transient response of the CCVT. This paper describes an improved phasor estimation technique based on least squares method for estimation of voltage and current phasors in distance relays. The method minimizes the impact of transient oscillations of the CCVT output voltage on operation of distance relay during faults. The algorithm performance is evaluated during various fault conditions. The proposed method provides higher tripping speed for close-in faults in addition to solving the overreaching problem for systems with high source to line impedance ratio (SIR).
