TCR-FC (Thyristor Controlled Rectifier with Fixed Capacitor) is a well known combination to improve voltage stability. Supplementary signals such as variation in reactive power, variation in frequency is used to enhance the dynamic response of the system. In this paper…

In this paper, the nonlinear thermal analysis of functionally graded material (FGM) plate with material variation parameter (n), boundary conditions, aspect ratios and side to thickness ratios is investigated using higher order displacement model. The derivation of equations of motion…

Solar energy has been proved as an innovative and promising route for the treatment of industrial effluents, waste water and for the purification of water. The solar detoxification process has challenged the effectiveness of conventional treatment processes for the degradation…

This paper presents a new topology for converting a DC voltage to an AC one. The proposed converter is excited from two separate DC supplies so the term "Doubly-Excited". The most important features of the proposed converter are the output…

Petri nets were devised for use in the modelling of a specific class of problems. Typical situations that can be modelled by Petri nets are synchronization, sequentiality, concurrency and conflict. This paper focuses on a low-level language program representation by…

This paper presents an algorithm for network reconfiguration based on the heuristic rules and fuzzy multi-objective approach with an improved Fast Decoupled load flow algorithm. Multiple objectives are considered to minimize the real power loss, deviation in bus voltages, branch…

IEEE 802.16j Mobile multi hop relay (MMR) network was approved in the year 2009, by the IEEE 802.16 working committee. In IEEE 802.16j Relay station with same capacity as that of Base station is used to extend the coverage area…

The use of a catalytic surface to enhance chemical reaction rates is a well established and common practice. However, its use in combustion devices for enhancing combustion reaction is somewhat less common and more recent. Catalytic combustors, because of their…

The most attractive and attention seeking topic of aerospace world is Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) which broadly speaking it can be categorized as significantly smaller aircraft than conventional aircrafts. Micro Air Vehicles can be divided as autonomous, semi-autonomous and remote…

The Cd1-xCoxS (x=0.00, 0.10, 0.20 and 0.40) thin films were deposited onto glass substrate at temperature 523K by using a low cost spray pyrolysis deposition (SPD) technique. The deposited films have been characterized their elemental, structural and optical properties measurements…
