The paper is devoted to the use of time transformation in the analysis of the robustness of PI controller tuning for integrating plants with time delay. The use is shown in the time and frequency domain and especially in the domain of relative adjustable parameters of the PI controller. The proposed approach to the assessment of robustness is new.

In this paper, the concept of the smart grid and the emerging challenges of wireless communication technology for use on the smart grid (SG)is reviewed. One modern-day technology of great significance is wireless sensor networks (WSNs), which has the potential to ensure the smooth operation of smart grid management and increase its energy efficiency, reliability and cost-effectiveness. The advanced electric power grid infrastructure known as smart grid takes advantage of automated control and cutting-edge communication strategies to achieve greater efficiency, reliability and safety, whilst seamlessly combining renewable and alternative sources of energy. Unlike conventional communication technologies, WSNs are more beneficial to modern electric power systems because they are affordable and operate on a cooperative basis. For this reason, WSNs are considered to have good potential for improving the way electric power is produced, distributed and used. Therefore, they are a key element of the smart grid. Nevertheless, the implementation of WSNs in smart grid settings may be inadequately reliable due to the complexity and unfavourable aspects of electric power system environments. The purpose of the current work is to review WSN uses in electric power systems and the opportunities and difficulties offered by this technology, as well as to delineate possible facets of smart grid applications and wireless technologies that future research could explore. Therefore, this work is significant.

Comfort of a large goods vehicle driver has a crucial factor on fatigue one of which being physical (muscular) fatigue, which has common indicators of pain in the back and legs caused by prolonged voluntary and involuntary muscle activities as an attempt by the body to counteract the vibrations induced via the seat. Therefore, drivers working under uncomfortable driving conditions, encounter ergonomic problems, increased fatigue and require additional rest time. Consequently, these rests increase both in time and numbers resulting with lost logistics time and reduced efficiency. Additionally, these drivers suffer from medical issues both physically and mentally. It is shown that muscular health complaints is mostly accompanied by mental health complaints (e.g.: stress, burnout etc.). These muscular and mental health complaints increase drivers need for recovery, however drivers undergo problems to recover from this work-related fatigue at the end of work day. Though it may be seen as an acute issue, in long term, the accumulation of restlessness may induce the development of psychosomatic health problems. Hence, drop in medical status and efficiency of drivers burden the organizations with major financial costs, via sickness absence of worker, compensations of absenteeism, errors or mistakes occurred at work caused by sudden pain, stress, and etc. Therefore an uncomfortable driving experience becomes not only a health issue for the drivers but also an economical inconvenience to the company. To increase comfort and prevent these issues a H∞ controller with a dynamic output feedback was proposed in this study. This controller was designed and modeled with linear matrix inequality (LMI) method, and implemented on a model of a half semi-trailer truck augmented with a human-seat couple model. Both uncontrolled and controlled cases were simulated and compared in terms of the comfort level of the driver with respect to ISO 2631 standard. As a result, controller decreased

In this paper, a STATCOM based on Five-level Diode Clamped Multilevel Converter is used to maintain the bus voltage at specific bus bar in a suggested grid under various abnormal conditions like 2-phase to ground fault, load disturbance and source disturbance. The suggested grid consists of a single machine, transmission line and loads. The compensation procedure is carried out and compared between the two suggested control methods, the first method was the traditional control method using Phase Shifted-PWM controller which is used to improve the voltage profile. The Second one was the Finite Set-Model Predictive controller for improving the voltage profile. The simulation results show that the two methods provided significant improvements of the bus voltage profile. Moreover, the improvement of voltage profile using FS-MPC method is less over shoot and attains a steady state better than the conventional PS-PWM when the system is subjected under many disturbances. The results of the harmonic effect show low values of total harmonic distortion (THD) of supply voltage and current.
