Improving power system damping using EP based PI controller [PDF]

2011 5th International Power Engineering and Optimization Conference, 2011
This paper presents a new stochastic optimization technique for tuning conventional PI controller parameters of a static var compensator (SVC) which controls a synchronous machine. As a type of Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) device, SVC is designed and implemented to improve the damping of a synchronous generator.

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

Advancing Research on Biomaterials and Biological Materials with Scanning Electron Microscopy under Environmental and Low Vacuum Conditions

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Herein, environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) is discussed as a powerful extension of conventional SEM for life sciences. By combining high‐resolution imaging with variable pressure and humidity, ESEM allows the analysis of untreated biological materials, supports in situ monitoring of hydration‐driven changes, and advances the functional ...
