Transient Behavior of variable speed pump-turbine units

François Avellan, Jean-Jacques Simond, Christophe Nicolet, Basile Kawkabani, Yves Pannatier, Alexander Schwery

This paper presents the modeling, simulation and analysis of the dynamic behavior of a fictitious 2x320 MW variable speed pump-turbine power plant including hydraulic system, electrical installations, rotating inertias and control systems. First, the model ...

Modeling and Transient Simulation of FACTS in Multi-Machine Power Systems

Jean-Jacques Simond, Basile Kawkabani, Yves Pannatier

The present paper describes the modeling of 3-level Unified Power Flow Controllers (UPFC) with their control systems for studying the steady-state and transient behavior of electrical networks equipped with FACTS devices. The control features of these devi ...

Generic representations of orthogonal groups: the mixed functors

Christine Vespa

In previous work, we defined the category of functors F-quad, associated to F-2-vector spaces equipped with a nondegenerate quadratic form. In this paper, we define a special family of objects in the category F-quad, named the mixed functors. We give the c ...

INTERACTIVE APPLICATIONS IN A MANDATORY CONTROL COURSE

Roland Longchamp, Yves Henri Philippe Piguet

This paper describes how a mandatory control course is enhanced with interactive applications. Basic concepts of automatic control, different ways to assess performance and robustness of a controlled system, and limits of closed- loop systems are illustrat ...

Design of an Ultra-Lightweight Autonomous Solar Airplane for Continuous Flight

Roland Siegwart

The Autonomous Systems Lab of EPFL3 is developing, within the framework of an ESA program, an ultra-lightweight solar autonomous model airplane called Sky-Sailor with embedded navigation and control systems. The main goal of this project is to jointly unde ...

Using genetic algorithms to take into account user wishes in an advanced building control system

Antoine Guillemin

From a sustainable development perspective, the newly developed automatic controllers for building services are very promising in that they increase energy efficiency and reduce commissioning and maintenance costs. But a major problem has appeared as the a ...

Some Observations on Equation-based Rate Control

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Milan Vojnovic

We consider one aspect of the general problem of unicast equation based rate control in the Internet, which we formulate as follows. When a so called ``loss-event" occurs, a data source updates its sending rate by setting it to

f(\hat{p_n})
