A Real-Time Sliding Mode Control for a Wind Energy System Based on a Doubly Fed Induction Generator
(MDPI, 2014-10)In this paper, a real time sliding mode control scheme for a variable speed wind turbine that incorporates a doubly feed induction generator is described. In this design, the so-called vector control theory is applied, in ... -
An Algebraic Preservation Theorem for Aleph-Zero Categorical Quantified Constraint Satisfaction
(Logical Methods in Computer Science c/o Institut f. Theoretische Informatik, Technische Universität Braunschweig, 2013-03-29)We prove an algebraic preservation theorem for positive Horn definability in aleph-zero categorical structures. In particular, we define and study a construction which we call the periodic power of a structure, and define ... -
Analysis of the Channel Influence to Power Line Communications Based on ITU-T G.9904 (PRIME)
(MDPI, 2016-01)ITU-T G.9904 standard, also known as PoweRline Intelligent Metering Evolution (PRIME), is a Power Line Communications standard for advanced metering, grid control and asset monitoring defined by the International ... -
Beyond Q-Resolution and Prenex Form: a Proof System for Quantified Constraint Satisfaction
(Technische Universität Braunschweig, Institute of Theoretical Computer Science, 2014)We consider the quanti fied constraint satisfaction problem (QCSP) which is to decide, given a structure and a first-order sentence (not assumed here to be in prenex form) built from conjunction and quanti fication, whether ... -
