Evolutionary Robotics is a powerful method to generate efficient controllers with minimal human intervention, but its applicability to real-world problems remains a challenge because the method takes long time and it requires software simulations that do n ...
This paper deals with a fixed-frequency variable-speed motor/generator with 3-level VSI (Voltage Source Inverter) cascade. The 3-level VSI is applied to a DASM (Doubly-fed ASynchronous Machine) for large pump storage plants. The extension to 3 levels is th ...
In most vehicle simulators, complete physical mockups equipped with steering wheel, gearshift and pedals are required. These devices are essential in trying to simulate real conditions, but as a drawback the system becomes expensive, huge (non mobile), and ...
The deployment of wireless applications or protocols in the context of Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork (MANET), often requires to step through a simulation phase. For the results of the simulation to be meaningful, it is important that the model on which is based th ...
The paper deals with the main problems to solve in order to simulate precisely the behavior of complex power systems with mixed elements (power components and digital regulation devices). The main features of an efficient simulation tool are described. The ...
This work describes the development of a fuzzy logic based control system capable of governing multiple thyristor-controlled series capacitors (TCSCs). The main purpose of the presented coordinated control system is the improvement of active power flow con ...
This paper proposes a paradigm for specification of virtual human agents` level of autonomy. The idea we present in this paper aims at optimising the required complexity of agents in order to perform realistic simulations. The paradigm is based on the dist ...
Our new out-of-order processor simulatol; FastSim, uses two innovations to speed up simulation 8--15 times (vs. Wisconsin SimpleScalar) with no loss in simulation accuracy. First, FastSim uses speculative direct-execution to accelerate the functional emula ...
This paper presents a low-power analog simulator for the transient stability of a two-machine power system. The simulator is implemented in a standard digital CMOS process. Its building blocks are: sine shaper, transconductor with extended linear range, an ...
A capacitance evaluation method based on the extraction of physical parameters from finite element (FE) analysis is presented. Mechanical simulations and this capacitance evaluation method were applied to a new, highly symmetrical, silicon accelerometer in ...
