Adaptive resilient secondary control for islanded AC microgrids with sensor faults by Li, Xiaolei, Xu, Qianwen, Blaabjerg, Frede

“…To achieve resilient secondary voltage restoration, a novel adaptive fault tolerant control scheme is proposed. Since the bounds of the time-varying faults are unknown, sufficient conditions are first derived to guarantee the voltage tracking errors to be uniformly ultimately bounded. …”

Analysis of rainfall datasets for major Asian cities (Jakarta) by Loke, Jun Wei.

“…While expecting datasets to be able to capture peak/extreme values better, results showed low agreement of product datasets capturing extreme events as recorded by the ground gauges. Nevertheless, datasets are useful and effective in determining the frequency of rainy days per month but the monthly rainfall and the exact day that rains are still questionable.…”

Evidence for resistance of activated sludge flocs to deflocculative DO stress by Suresh, Akshaykumar, Grygolowicz-Pawlak, Ewa, Poh, Leong Soon, Maszenan Abdul Majid, Dominiak, Dominik, Bugge, Thomas Vistisen, Gao, Xin, Ng, Wun Jern

“…In addition to the low DO conditions, the sludge samples were not re-fed throughout the experiment, but deflocculation was still not observed. An analysis of the soluble microbial products (SMP) and loosely and tightly bound extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) was performed to improve understanding of the sludge’s behavior in response to low DO conditions. …”
