(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
This paper proposes an experimental Real Time Digital Feedback Controller (RTDFBC) combined with a Repetitive technique to control a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) fed by a cascaded Multi-Level Inverter (MLI). The proposed ...
A new normalized Deadbeat control for grid connected distributed generation systems
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
This paper proposes a newly designed Real Time Digital Feedback Controller for a grid connected PV system. A multilevel Flying Capacitors Inverter (FCI) along with inductor and step-up transformer is used as an interface ...
Accurate partial discharge classification from acoustic emission signals
(2013 , Conference Paper)
Accurate partial discharge (PD) classification provides significant information to asses power transformers' insulation condition. The work presented in this paper aims to improve classification from acoustic emission ...
Multi-stage intra-patient template matching for prostate detection in MR volumes
(2013 , Conference Paper)
Detecting objects, a significant task in computer vision, is accompanied with many challenges. When we focus on medical images, the challenges of detecting an organ or a tumour exhibit their own specific difficulties. ...
Regional failure survivability for cloud networking services using post fault restoration
(2013 , Conference Paper)
Cloud computing services are being adopted to expand applications across dispersed data-center sites. As these new paradigms require active data exchange, they impose further virtual network (VN) mappings over operator ...
