Real-time simulation and control systems

Summary form only given. Generation of electricity using wind power has received considerable attention worldwide in recent years. In order to investigate the impacts of the integration of wind farm into utilities' network various windmill models is developed. One such impact is related to the critical clearing time (…

This paper addresses the problem of electronic emulation of both linear and nonlinear mechanical loads using a vector-controlled induction machine dynamometer. It is shown that a basic emulation scheme where the dynamometer torque demand is derived from the inverse dynamics of the emulated load is not generally viable…

Since the late 1970s, intensive efforts have been made to utilize renewable energy sources to generate electric power. On the other hand, economical pressure experienced in recent years has led to the development of high efficiency combined heat and power schemes to use the normally wasted heat to generate electric po…

The wind industry is looking for ways to accurately predict reliability and availability of newly installed wind turbines. Failure modes, effects and criticality analysis (FMECA) is a technique utilized to determine the critical subsystems of wind turbines. There are several studies in the literature which have applie…

This paper is on the design of a parameter space based robust PID steering controller. This controller is used for automated steering in automated path following of a midsized sedan. Linear and nonlinear models of this midsized sedan are presented in the paper. Experimental results are used to validate the longitudina…

• MUMİN TOLGA EMİRLER

A state-space technique (SST) for the computation of electromagnetic transients on transmission lines with nonlinear components is presented. State equations for the nonlinear system are derived and these equations are converted to a set of algebraic equations using the trapezoidal rule of integration. A state-space f…
