This article describes the experience of the automaticcontrol, Robotics and Mecha-tronics Research Group from the University of Almería in the participation and preparation of workshops for teaching programming, control engineering and robotics to young students. All the activities designed to encourage the study of STEM careers among young students are described. Some activities are focused on directly promoting automatics and Robotics disciplines. Others deal with encouraging the participation of women in science, and so, breaking gender inequality. Two main workshops, where first- and second-year students collaborate directly with the University of Almería, are also described in detail. Finally, this paper shows the growth in the number of students who enrolled in engineering degrees thanks to these dissemination activities.

Cross-validation is a popularly used approach to evaluation of performance for classifiers. It relies on random selection of independent samples for training and testing, and assumes that if any similarities among samples exist, they do not lead to known grouping of datapoints in the input space. If these conditions are violated, as it may happen for datasets with some structure of samples included, standard cross-validation can return biased results even for many folds. In the paper the research on cross-validation was reported for application to stylometric datasets, describing a task of authorship attribution. The comparison of standard and non-standard processing was presented. In the latter case, selected subsets of examples were swapped over between training and test sets several times. The experiments with three popular classifiers showed that standard cross-validation tended to give over-optimistic results, whereas non-standard processing was more guarded, and by that more reliable. To avoid high computational costs involved, evaluation based on averaged predictions for limited numbers of test sets can be considered as a reasonable compromise.

Estimation of attribute importance can be obtained by a mechanism that allows to assign some weight to variables. Weighting attributes can lead to their ordering, which, in turn, can be exploited for feature selection and reduction. Decision reducts constitute an example of a mechanism aiming at dimensionality reduction, embedded in rough set approach to data mining. The paper presents research works, where the process of weighting was driven by the proposed factor based on reducts, with varying their sets, and the results were analysed through the perspective of reduct cardinality, since it is typically considered as the most significant indicator of reduct quality. Constructed rankings of variables were used for inferring sets of decision rules from gradually decreasing numbers of features, and then the performance of the rule classifiers was tested. The experiments show that for the weighting factor to be useful for feature reduction, not only reduct cardinalities, but also the numbers of reducts found need to be taken into account.

The performance of Interline DC Power Flow controllers (IDC-PFCs) in Voltage Source Converters (VSC)-based High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) grids, can be affected due to different issues. The current limitation of HVDC lines, the voltage limitation of HVDC buses, and DC voltage of the IDC-PFC intermediary capacitor prevent effective and efficient operation of IDC-PFCs. In this paper, it is shown that this issue can be overcome by using a virtual capacitor in parallel with the IDC-PFC intermediary capacitor. Also, an energy control-based scheme is proposed for the operation of IDC-PFCs in VSC-HVDC grid. The benefits of using the virtual capacitor are: widening the operational area of the IDC-PFCs for the determined duty cycle and injecting more voltage in series to the interconnected HVDC line to control the related HVDC line current. The proposed solution is successfully evaluated on a CIGRE three-terminal VSC-HVDC grid which is modeled by linearized space-state equations.

While the $$H_\infty $$ observer-based control has found widespread application in the literature for integer-order systems, researchers have shown less interest in addressing the same issue within the fractional-order framework. In this context, this study delves into the application of $$H_\infty $$ observer-based control for the Hadamard fractional-order system (HFOS) described by the Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy models (TSFM). Using Lyapunov approach and by employing a matrix decoupling technique, LMI based conditions ensuring the existence of an observer and controller, are proposed. To minimize the impact of disturbances on the controlled output, $$H_\infty $$ optimization technique is used. The validity of our approach is substantiated through an example, underscoring the robustness and reliability of our proposed findings.

With the increasing need for sustainable energy sources, wind power has gained prominence as a clean and renewable option. Nevertheless, incorporating wind power into the electrical grid at a significant scale can have a considerable impact on the dynamic behavior of the power system, leading to heightened operational uncertainties. The expanding requirement for power network connection to wind farms has led to the occurrence of rotor angle fluctuations and frequency instability. This paper utilizes a Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) along with a multi-band power system stabilizer (MB-PSS) to assess the transient stability of a power grid. To demonstrate the system's efficiency under fault conditions, such as triple line-to-ground faults (LLLG), a nine-bus, three-machine test network incorporating a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) has been employed. The system's performance has been evaluated through MATLAB/Simulink simulations, which reveal that the combination of STATCOM with MB-PSS produces superior results in enhancing transient stability when compared to the scenarios of using STATCOM alone or not using it at all.
