In this paper an observer-based robust fault estimation scheme is proposed for a special class of Lipchitz nonlinear systems where the disturbances and faults are assumed to be coupled with the main system states. In the considered model of system, fault is assumed to enter both of the state and output equations as an unmeasured nonlinear function and coupled with the states. The disturbances and the uncertainties are considered as nonlinear functions coupled with the states. To the best of the authors’ knowledge these conditions have not been previously considered in related papers. In the proposed approach, a Luenberger observer is designed for the estimation of faults and states of system simultaneously. The effect of system disturbances is attenuated with the L2  norm. The necessary conditions for the existence of such observer is expressed in the form of Linear Matrix Inequality. The Lipchitz constant of the nonlinear function is obtained by solving the proposed Linear Matrix Inequality. Finally, the performance of the proposed method is simulated on a three-phase induction motor. The results indicate good performance of the proposed method.

In this paper, the problem of robust stabilization of uncertain and perturbed switched nonlinear systems has been investigated. It’s well-known that the solution of H∞ control problem may not exist for switched systems with a common storage function for all subsystems. On the other hand, by adopting multiple storage functions, different Hamilton-Jacobin inequalities need to be solved. Hence, the robust control problem is addressed here based on passivity, in two cases. First, it is assumed that there is at least one passive subsystem in the whole state space, and the problem is solved based on the average dwell time approach. In this case, by defining the concept of system passivity rate, the admissible range of average dwell time is obtained. In the second case, none of subsystems is passive and the H∞ control problem is solved by using the feedback passification. In addition to theoretical analysis of the design algorithms, the performance of the theorems for uncertain switched nonlinear systems has been investigated by providing two simulation examples and numerical analysis.

Robust algorithm is known as the one of high potential models for strengthening in optimization of large and complex distribution networks considering uncertainty. In this research we are looking for some suitable template and appropriate clustering pattern in order to analyze the operation of distribution network. The analysis of optimization process in both individual and adaptive cases of distributed generation sources applied to some standard distribution network shows that the adaptive case of DGs determines less partial and total operation cost. except in islanded case of DGs. The results of clustering approach based on choosing the candidate points which includes DGs and feeders are used in medium voltage (MV) network level. By investigating the software data in both single cluster with first up to fifth and tenth repeatition, one to five clusters and finally ten clusters case shows the superiority of mean data besed clustering. because of having the three following properties such as being sensitive to all weighted candidate points, the speed of acceptable operation and feeding the clusters in islanded case in multiplicity of clusters, it is suitable to designate the robust optimization method using pattern random clustering.

The high power passing through transmission systems and the high costs due to the fault occurrence in these lines have encouraged researchers to pay special attention to protection issues in this area. The limitations and deficiencies of traditional protection methods and their strong dependencies on the system operating conditions doubles the importance of early fault detection and its prediction utilizing new techniques. Timely detection and warning issuance toward the possibility of fault occurrence can be accomplished by analyzing the data and information obtained from the system and examining the relationships between different parameters. In this paper, machine learning methods are used, which have the ability to predict the occurrence of faults with appropriate accuracy independent of the operating area of the system. To evaluate the performance of the models, a large amount of data has been generated in various operating conditions and applied as input to the algorithms under study. Also, the effects of different weather conditions as one of the important factors have been considered. For the sake of greater generality, accuracy check, and comparability of the results, three methods including KNN, SVM, and decision tree in two modes (unbalanced and balanced data in the existing classes) have been used, and the outcomes have been presented. The simulations and modeling presented in this paper have been implemented using Python and MATLAB.

This paper is concerned with the problem of improvement of fuzzy H_infinity tracking controller for nonlinear systems modeled by T-S fuzzy scheme. The fuzzy tracking controller not only stabilizes the closed-loop system, but also results in the H_infinity tracking error norm to all the bounded external signals to be less than some given value. A new tracking control law is proposed for each linear local subsystem of T-S fuzzy model. A Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) approach is proposed to find all the parameters of the control laws. The proposed approach results in a noticeable improved tracking performance with respect to the existing approaches. An investigation of the tracking performance of the proposed approach on the inverted pendulum system, in comparison with the other approaches, shows the improvement.

Due to the inefficiency of Kalman filter-based methods for combining low-cost inertial navigation system data and global satellite navigation systems when satellite signals are outage, the use of artificial intelligence techniques in integrated architecture has become a common issue. Therefore, in this paper, while presenting an effective hybrid architecture, the generalized regression neural network is used to predict the required observations of the Kalman filter at the event of long-term outage of satellite signals. In the proposed model, for training the neural network, the velocities and positions of the inertial system are considered as inputs and also the velocities and positions of the global positioning system are considered as network outputs. This approach, while being practical and operational, has reduced computational time and increased the accuracy and speed of training and network estimation. The simulation results show that due to the simple yet robust structure of the proposed architecture and of course the selection of an efficient multi-input-multi-output neural network with the ability to detect the effective relationship between inputs and specified outputs and consequently correct errors related to speeds and situations, inertial navigation system can be used for real-time navigation, self-reliant, with high reliability and accuracy.

The paper presents an optimal and coordinated power oscillation damper based on a wind turbine and power system stabilizer (PSS) to maintain the power system stability and damp inter-area oscillations. The optimal and coordinated design of the PSS located at the generator site and the damper which was installed in the control section of the doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) is defined as an optimization problem and simulations have been performed in MATLAB software environment. To determine optimal coefficients of the PSS and damper, the metaheuristic salp swarm optimization (SSA) algorithm was employed with an objective function that aimed to minimize the error caused by frequency deviations of two areas. Due to the use of wide-area measurement systems (WAMS) in the proposed damper to enhance controllability and observability of most of the oscillation modes, time delays resultant from the WAMS was also taken into account. Additionally, uncertainties of wind intermittency and time delay of WAMS were calculated probabilistically. The suggested method was applied to a six-machine two-area power system with a wind farm. The obtained simulation results highlighted and validated the superior performance and stability of the power system as a result of using the proposed method.

In this paper, a low power and wideband Regulated Cascode (RGC)-based Transimpedance Amplifier (TIA) is presented to be used for the short range optical receiver systems. In this structure, input dominant parasitic capacitance is isolated by adding a cascoded inverter amplifier as a fully active feedback network in the booster of an RGC amplifier. As a result, a 6.4 GHz bandwidth is obtained at a lower power consumption. In addition, for eliminating the effect of output parasitic capacitance by resonating with an inductor and widening the bandwidth, an active inductive load is implemented at the output node of the proposed TIA circuit. Therefore, considering two main points of isolation of input parasitic capacitance effect and reduction of load parasitic capacitance effect, bandwidth is increased without using a high amount of power consumption. Based on the results simulated in HSPICE using 90 nm CMOS technology, the proposed TIA can reach the data bit rate of 10Gb/s. In addition, the proposed TIA consumes only 1.6mW of power, and has the gain of 40dBΩ across the 6.4 GHz of bandwidth.
