The paper deals with a Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC), which aims at the integration of series and shunt active power filters for enhancement of power system stability. The proposed UPQC

Coordination between different behaviors, such as goal reaching, obstacle avoidance, reaching the collision–free space, and wall following, all of these represent a big problem in navigation of the mobile robots in unknown or partially known environments. In this paper a solution of this problem is presented using switched gains, these gains are inferred from a fuzzy fusion system (FFS). These gains are weighted and tuned by a real coded Genetic Algorithm (RCGA) based on a fitness function that ensures a safe and short path to the object.

Different types of electric vehicles (EV) have been recently developed with the aim of solving pollution problems caused by the emissions of gasoline powered engine. One of the weakest points of EV is the battery system due to its highly complex nonlinear characteristics so the distance of travel is not defined accurately. One of challenges of EV is the battery modeling to know the battery available capacity and state of charge to charge the EV at the suitable

This paper presents a systematic procedure for a thorough techno-economic-environmental investigation of an open or closed Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) system, which is to be used for residential heating and cooling purposes. The aim of this work is to outline in a clear manner the necessary steps of the procedure that must be followed in order to verify the technical feasibility, economic viability, and environmental friendliness of the GSHP system before its actual installation and exploitation is undertaken.

This paper presents Advancement in both flexible AC transmission lines(FACTS) and superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage Systems (SMES) technologies having some excellent performances for use in power systems, such as four quadrant control, rapid response (millisecond) , high efficiency, and high power (multi-MW). In recent years, power demand has increased substantially while the expansion of power generation and transmission has been severely limited due to limited resources and environmental restrictions.
