Regenerative AC-AC converters are required for serving AC loads that draw and return power during operation, when input is also taken from an AC source. AC motor drives, static VAR compensators, harmonic compensators ...

This paper presents study on the modeling of a Rubber Tire Gantry Crane (RTGC) used in container terminals for container handling. The electrical systems and mechanical systems are modelled by specific blocks from the Power ...

Z source inverters (ZSI) can perform single stage, buck-boost conversion and have shown to offer slightly higher efficiency over traditional inverters. However, ZSI controller unit becomes more complex when achieving ...

Positive torque of a Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) can be developed by energizing the stator winding during the positive slope of the phase inductance. Due to the inductive nature of the circuit, demagnetizing process ...

Upon various renewable based power generation, Solar Photovoltaic (PV) technology is continually developing nowadays. However, the major drawback of this technology is the intermittent issue due to the rapid fluctuations ...

This paper investigates the critical issues of developing ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID)-based low-power wireless sensors for infrastructure related metallic environments. Our studies ...

At present there is an increased focus on using renewable energy for power generation. In this paper a dispatch analysis is carried out to identify the effect of increasing variable renewable energy (VRE) penetration ...

This paper presents mathematical modeling, implementation and experimentation results of Extended Kalman filter (EKF) implemented on existing flight control algorithm which is used to control multi-rotor unmanned ...

Assistive robots are developed to uplift living standards of human beings. An assistive robot needs to be friendly, reliable, and understandable in order to be a human like companion. A robot should be able to navigate ...

The traditional white cane allows blind persons to understand the environment by tapping the white cane against the objects. It has limited capabilities in detecting objects far from the person. Available electronic blind ...
