Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) is an enabling technology to engineer the radio signal propagation in wireless networks. By smartly tuning the signal reflection via a large number of low-cost ...

In this paper, a community microgrid with multiple ac and dc microgrids is introduced and analyzed. Individual microgrids with different frequency and voltage requirements would operate as ...

We consider the downlink of Cell-Free Massive MIMO systems, where a very large number of distributed access points (APs) simultaneously serve a much smaller number of users. Each AP uses local channel ...

Predictive control has emerged as a promising control method in a variety of technological fields. Model predictive control, as one of the subdivisions of this control method, has found a growing ...

The issues of monitoring and fault diagnosis of drives with permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) are currently very relevant because of the increasing use of these drives in safety-critical ...

This paper deals with the transient stability of a grid-forming converter while embedding a current reference saturation strategy. The novelty of this work consists in investigating the impact of the ...

We propose a surrogate-assisted reference vector guided evolutionary algorithm (EA) for computationally expensive optimization problems with more than three objectives. The proposed algorithm is based ...

A new methodology for ensuring that a three-coil wireless power transfer system is more energy efficient than a two-coil counterpart is presented in this paper.

This brief investigates the problem of fixed-time state observer-based output feedback control design for nonlinear systems with full-state constraints. First, a fixed-time state observer is ...

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) control has the potential to provide frequency regulation service for power system operation from electric vehicles (EVs). In this paper, a decentralized V2G control (DVC) method ...

In this article, an adaptive finite-time tracking control scheme is developed for a category of uncertain nonlinear systems with asymmetric time-varying full-state constraints and actuator failures.

This paper presents statistical data about lightning damage on wind turbine blades reported at different wind farms in the U.S. The analysis is based on 304 cases of damage due to direct lightning ...
