Methodologies For Voltage Contingency Ranking, James Matthew Kulaga Dec 1991

Methodologies For Voltage Contingency Ranking, James Matthew Kulaga

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Contingency studies in interconnected electric power systems are performed to assess the capability of a system to withstand disturbances caused by equipment outages and other factors, and are relevant to the area of power system security. Due to the large size and complexity of modern power systems, accurate techniques for measuring the effect of line contingencies are often time consuming and impose a heavy computational burden. Thus, ranking methods are used to define a subset of the most severe contingencies to be studied in full detail. Contingencies are classified into voltage contingencies and power contingencies; the term voltage contingency refers …

Neural Networks For Constrained Optimization Problems, Walter E. Lillo, Stefen Hui, Stanislaw H. Zak Nov 1991

Neural Networks For Constrained Optimization Problems, Walter E. Lillo, Stefen Hui, Stanislaw H. Zak

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

This paper is concerned with utilizing neural networks and analog circuits to solve constrained optimization problems. A novel neural network architecture is proposed for solving a class of nonlinear programming problems. The proposed neural network, or more precisely a physically realizable approximation, is then used to solve minimum norm problems subject to linear constraints. Minimum norm problems have many applications in various areas, but we focus on their applications to the control of discrete dynamic processes. The applicability of the proposed neural network is demonstrated on numerical examples.

Generalized 'Probe' Model For Arbitrary Dephasing Mechanisms, Supriyo Datta Nov 1991

Generalized 'Probe' Model For Arbitrary Dephasing Mechanisms, Supriyo Datta

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

It has been shown earlier that in the linear response regime, dephasing by point scatterers (within the self-consistent Born approximation) can be visualized in terms of point voltage probes attached to each space and energy coordinate (r,E). In this paper we derive a generalized linear response equation starting from the non-equilibrium Green function formalism that can be used to describe any dephasing process in any approximation. The dephasing is characterized by a ‘reservoir function’ which can be evaluated from the self-energy. The linear response equation can be visualized in terms of voltage probes but with individual probes connected to each …

Data Structures And Sparsity In A Digital Simulation Of An Hvdc Link, Mark Timothy Luehmann Oct 1991

Data Structures And Sparsity In A Digital Simulation Of An Hvdc Link, Mark Timothy Luehmann

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

An earlier algorithm for the detailed simulation of the High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) link using the tensor approach was modified to improve the runtime speed. The runtime, approximately eleven percent that of the original algorithm, was improved by employing sparsity techniques, restructuring the state matrix, and condensing subroutines. The readability of the code was accomplished by a modular programming approach. This research was done for a two-terminal simulation, but could be expanded and modified to include multiterminal simulations.

On Solving Constrained Optimization Problems With Neural Networks : A Penalty Function Method Approach, Walter E. Lillo, Mei Heng Loh, Stefen Hui, Stanislaw H. Zak

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

This paper is concerned with utilizing analog circuits to solve various linear and nonlinear programming problems. The dynamics of these circuits are analyzed. Then, the previously proposed circuit implementations for solving optimization problems are examined. A new nonlinear programming network and its circuit implementation is then introduced which utilizes the nonlinearities to eliminate the problems encountered in previous circuit implementations.

Laser Bandwidth-Induced Fluctuations In The Intensity Transmitted By A Fabry-Perot Interferometer, Gerhard Klimeck, Daniel Elliott, M. Hamilton Sep 1991

Laser Bandwidth-Induced Fluctuations In The Intensity Transmitted By A Fabry-Perot Interferometer, Gerhard Klimeck, Daniel Elliott, M. Hamilton

Birck and NCN Publications

We have measured the power spectrum of the intensity Auctuations of light transmitted by a Fabry- Perot interferometer when the input field is the real Gaussian field. The real Gaussian field is a field characterized by real, random (Gaussian) amplitude Auctuations. The bandwidth of the real Gaussian field was varied, taking on values less than that of the interferometer, as well as greater. Comparisons of the measured spectra with calculated spectra are quite satisfactory. Of special interest is a feature in the spectra centered at the laser-interferometer detuning frequency.

Consensual Neural Networks, Jon A. Benediktsson, Okan K. Ersoy, Philip H. Swain Aug 1991

Consensual Neural Networks, Jon A. Benediktsson, Okan K. Ersoy, Philip H. Swain

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

A new neural network architecture is proposed and applied in classification of data from multiple sources. The new architecture is called a consensual neural network and its relation to hierarchical and ensemble neural networks is discussed. The consensual neural network architecture is based on statistical consensus theory and involves using non-linearly transformed input data. The input data are transformed several times and the different transformed data are applied as if they were independent inputs. The independent inputs are classified using stage neural networks and the 0utputs from the stage networks are then weighted and combined to make a decision. Experimental …


Exploiting Fine-Grain Concurrency Analytical Insights In Superscalar Processor Design, Pradeep K. Dubey, George B. Adams Iii, Michael J. Flynn Aug 1991

Exploiting Fine-Grain Concurrency Analytical Insights In Superscalar Processor Design, Pradeep K. Dubey, George B. Adams Iii, Michael J. Flynn

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

This dissertation develops analytical models to provide insight into various design issues associated with superscalar-type processors, i.e., the processors capable of executing multiple instructions per cycle. A survey of the existing machines and literature has been completed with a proposed classification of various approaches for exploiting fine-grain concurrency. Optimization of a single pipeline is discussed based on an analytical model. The model-predicted performance curves are found to be in close proximity to published results using simulation techniques. A model is also developed for comparing different branch strategies for single-pipeline processors in terms of their effectiveness in reducing branch delay. The …


Real-Time Helicopter Flight Control: Modelling And Control By Linearization And Neural Networks, Tobias J. Pallett, Shaheen Ahmad Aug 1991

Real-Time Helicopter Flight Control: Modelling And Control By Linearization And Neural Networks, Tobias J. Pallett, Shaheen Ahmad

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

In this report we determine the dynamic model of a miniature helicopter in hovering flight. Identification procedures for the nonlinear terms are also described. The model is then used to design several linearized control laws and a neural network controller. The controllers were then flight tested on a miniature helicopter flight control test bed the details of which are also presented in this report. Experimental performance of the linearized and neural network controllers are discussed. It was found from experimentation that the adaptive neural network technique was able to improve helicopter flight performance.


Blockwise Transform Image Coding Enhancement And Edge Detection, Sabzali Aghagolzadeh Aug 1991

Blockwise Transform Image Coding Enhancement And Edge Detection, Sabzali Aghagolzadeh

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

The goal of this thesis is high quality image coding, enhancement and edge detection. A unified approach using novel fast transforms is developed to achieve all three objectives. Requirements are low bit rate, low complexity of implementation and parallel processing. The last requirement is achieved by processing the image in small blocks such that all blocks can be processed simultaneously. This is similar to biological vision. A major issue is to minimize the resulting block effects. This is done by using proper transforms and possibly an overlap-save technique. The bit rate in image coding is minimized by developing new results …
