This paper deals with a voltage and frequency (VF) controller for an isolated power generation system based on an asynchronous generator (AG) driven by a pico hydro turbine. The proposed controller is a combination of a static compensator (STATCOM) and an electronic load controller (ELC) for decoupled control of the reactive and active powers of the AG system to control the voltage and frequency respectively. The proposed generating system along with its VF controller is modeled in MATLAB using SIMULINK and PSB (Power System Block Sets) toolboxes. The performance of the controller is verified for the proposed system and feeding various types of consumer load such as linear/non-linear, balanced/unbalanced and dynamic loads.

In fact, asynchronous motors are used widely. Asynchronous motors which have large power (compared to the source supplies) is needed to start them in various methods. The theory of application reduced voltage to motor's stator or variable resistor fed rotor for the purpose of altering the motor's torque and power consumption characteristics is an idea that has existed for many years. These concepts have flourished mainly due to the need to limit torque and limited generator/power distribution capabilities. However, how can know exactly the time of switching steps with different types of motors as well as load characteristics is very difficult. This paper focuses on the design and development mathematical models of motor[1][2], load, ACB, asynchronous machine and then is implemented in SIMULINK in order to calculate this time, special on ships where power generation station is limited. The simulation results are both compared and discussed in detail so that it can apply to conclude the most suitable and applicable starting time for new system with various motors and load.

In the Closing time in order to operate synchronous generators parallely, it is generated the asynchronous phenomena. These asynchronous phenomena give rise of the eddy current on the rotor. These eddy current are solved analytically for the Laplace' Equ. ${\nabla}^2{\widetilde{H}}=0$ in free space and for the Bullard's Equ. ${\nabla}^2{\widetilde{H}}$+${\sigma}_r{\mu}_r{\nabla}$${\times}$${\widetilde{\nu}}_r$${\times}$${\widetilde{H}}^{III}$=${\sigma}_r{\mu}_r{\frac{{\partial}H}{{\partial}t}}$ for the rotor by using each double Fourier series component of the 3D H-field

In this paper, Bit selectable and Bi-directional Interface Device is described, which can communicate data with the peripheral devices. Specially, an algorithm of truth-table comparison that synthesizes the pulse-type sequential circuit pulse has been proposed to design the Interrupt Generator, and implemented in designing the Interrupt Register. Also, a description of the asynchronous design method is given to remove the clock skew phenomenon, and the output asynchronous control method which finds the optimal clock and controls all the enable signal of the output pins at the same time is presented. Using this technique interface ports have delay time of less-than 0.7ns.

This paper presents a voltage and frequency controller (VFC) for a 4-wire stand-alone wind energy conversion system (WECS) employing an asynchronous generator. The proposed VF con-troller consists of a three leg IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Junction Transistor) based voltage source converter and a battery at its DC bus. The neutral terminal for the consumer loads is created using a T-connected transformer, which consists of only two single phase transformers. The control algorithm of the VF controller is developed for the bidirectional flow capability of the active power and reactive power control by which it controls the WECS voltage and frequency under different dynamic conditions, such as varying consumer loads and varying wind speeds. The WECS is modeled and simulated in MATLAB using Simulink and PSB toolboxes. Extensive results are presented to demonstrate the capability of the VF controller as a harmonic eliminator, a load balancer, a neutral current compensator as well as a voltage and frequency controller.

Generator for wind power can be either synchronous or asynchronous (induction) types. Induction and synchronous generators behave in a different way when subjected to severe faults. Induction generators does not have an angle stability limit and short circuit in the neighborhood of an Induction generator causes the demagnetization of the machine when the fault is cleared, the voltage raises slowly, while the grid contributes with reactive power to the generator and the magnetic flux recovers. On the other hand in the synchronous generators the recovery of the voltage is immediate, since the excitation of the rotor angle comes from an independent circuit. This paper shows the result of the transient state analysis in the network connected to wind generation system Several case studies have been conducted to determine the effect of the clearing time of a fault on the network stability. It has been found that the critical clearing time can be as low as 61ms in the case of induction generator compared to 370ms in the case of synchronous generator.

Generation by the privately owned generators, which are normally operated has occupied about 10% of total generation. Recently the small co-generation employed gas engine has been introduced and attracted public interest. For privately owned generator to be paralleled Utilities, a customer complies with Generator Parallel Operation Guideline set by Utilities and installs related protective relays. But the guideline is not specified to small co-generation, only provides parallel operation of privately owned generator. So applying this guideline, initial investment can be too high comparing to total co-generation cost. Besides there is no specified guide about ALTS, which arises asynchronous problem. In this paper we analyzed guideline and technical problem when small co-generation is paralleled. And additionally needed researching area to improve distribution of small co-generation is discussed.

Mutual Exclusion is one of the most studied topics in distributed systems where processes communicate by asynchronous message passing. It is often necessary for multiple processes at different sites to access a shared resource or data called a critical section (CS) in distributed systems. A number of algorithms have been proposed to solve the mutual exclusion problem in distributed systems. In this paper, we propose the new algorithm which is modified from Garg's algorithm[1] thus works properly in a fault-tolerant system. In our algorithm, after electing the token generator, the elected process generates a new token based on the information of the myreqlist which is kept by every process and the reqdone which is received during election. Consequently, proposed algorithm tolerates any number of process failures and also does even when only one process is alive.

As a result of increasing environmental concern, the penetration of renewable power on power systems is now increasing. Wind energy can be considered as the most economical energy sources to generate electricity without depletion of fossil fuel. The penetration of wind energy from wind farm is getting larger and larger, so we need adequate control strategies for wind farm. To devise adequate control strategies for wind farm, time domain simulation analysis needs to be performed. This presents a Simultaneous Implicit-based time domain simulation algorithm for wind farm with DFAG (Doubly Fed Asynchronous generator) connected to the external power systems. This paper shows an illustrative example with a 5-bus test system.

In this paper, we have presented a test- ing method for a kind of asynchronous circuits. Tar- get circuit model is the 3D machine that is one of the most successful implementation of extended burst-mode (XBM) machines. We present a high-level test generation method for the 3D machine using the specification of the circuit. We also present a gate-level test pattern generation method using a synchronous test pattern generator. Experimental results show that the combination of the above two methods achieves high fault coverage over 3D machines and saves test generation time.
