Rotor angle stability-constrained dispatch and control of large-scale wind penetrated power system by Yuan, Heling

“…In general, four main effects on power system transient stability are: 1) wind generation has no contribution to system inertia and system with synchronous generators replaced by wind turbines will lead to reduction of inertia, 2) power electronics converter-based interfacing is added when wind turbines are implemented, which will change the dynamic behavior of the system, 3) power dispatch of synchronous machines will change fast to compensate wind power variation, 4) the magnitude and direction of power flows will fluctuate quickly and randomly in the transmission lines. Hence, it is an essential and significant problem to maintain system’s stability with high level wind power penetration. …”

Reduced semiconductor energy conversion systems. by Zhang, Lei.

“…It is therefore the intention now to study the nine-switch converter in greater details, believing that it can bring sizable advantages if controlled, designed and applied properly. The investigation planned for the thesis is thus to revisit the nine-switch modulation principles and its existing ac-ac converter applications with an intermediate de-link, The intention is to identify areas where modulation can be improved and quantify limitations faced by the nine-switch topology. …”

Improving the diagnostic yield of whole genome sequencing: neurodevelopmental and epilepsy disorders by Hashim, M

“…<p><b>Background:</b> Whole genome sequencing (WGS) has significantly enhanced the diagnostic yield for rare genetic disorders, providing molecular diagnoses and opening avenues for therapeutic interventions, cascade testing, and reproductive planning. However, the diagnostic yield remains at 25-40%, presenting challenges in deciphering the underlying causes of incompletely characterised conditions. …”

Unsupervised bayesian generative methods by Li, Shaohua

Hybrid sensor fusion for unmanned ground vehicle by Guan, Mingyang

“…A where-to-explore scheme is proposed to guide the robot to the less-explored areas, which is implemented together with a collision-free navigation system and global path planning module. With such modules, the robot is endowed with ability of autonomously exploring an environment and build the detailed map for it. …”
