Novel Intelligence ANFIS Technique for Two-Area Hybrid Power System’s Load Frequency Regulation [PDF]
The main objective of Load Frequency Control (LFC) is to effectively manage the power output of an electric generator at a designated site, in order to maintain system frequency and tie-line loading within desired limits, in reaction to fluctuations. The

Evaluation of heat transfer in humidification phenomena – Comparison between infrared thermography and numerical simulation [PDF]
Infrared thermography (IRT) is a non-destructive testing technology used to assess the performance of buildings. As a diagnosis tool for retrofit and conservation of buildings it helps understanding the anomalies by allowing “seeing” their causes in a ...

A Survey on Load Frequency Control of Multi-Area Power Systems: Recent Challenges and Strategies
Load frequency control (LFC) is well known for balancing the load demand and frequency for a multi-area power system. Studies have proven that LFC can improve the global performance of multi-area power systems.

LHCb experience with LFC replication
Database replication is a key topic in the framework of the LHC Computing Grid to allow processing of data in a distributed environment. In particular, the LHCb computing model relies on the LHC File Catalog, i.e. a database which stores information about files spread across the GRID, their logical names and the physical locations of all the replicas ...

LFC bumps on separable Banach spaces [PDF]
In this note we construct a C∞-smooth, LFC (Locally depending on Finitely many Coordinates) bump function, in every separable Banach space admitting a continuous, LFC bump function.

Decentralized Robust Disturbance-Observer Based LFC of Interconnected Systems [PDF]
This paper develops a novel decentralized controller for multi-area secondary load frequency control (LFC) of power systems. The proposed robust-adaptive approach estimates the external disturbance input and uncertainties, which are assumed to be matched with the control input.

Evidence for the Involvement of Lfc and Tctex-1 in Axon Formation [PDF]
RhoA and Rac play key and opposite roles during neuronal polarization. We now show that Lfc, a guanosine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF), localizes to the Golgi apparatus and growth cones of developing neurons and negatively regulates neurite sprouting and axon formation through a Rho signaling pathway. Tctex-1, a dynein light chain implicated in axon
