With the help of mathematical model for the single power amplifier, the circuit is simulated und a demonstrator is built and measured. it is used a complex Taylor series for modeling the power amplifier by the approximation of the amplitude transfer function and the level-dependence of the transmission-phase of the power amplifier and can be understood as a simplified form of Volterra series. In our proof of concept experiment, we verified the concept but also found that the adjustment of the circuit is critically dependent on the drive conditions and linearization is achieved only for a narrow range of drive power. The simulation of the total circuit is largely determined by the models for the transmission characteristics of the two power amplifiers. The new circuit in compare with the conventional Feed Forward amplifier, in addition a significant increase in efficiency to minimize the power of the distortion signal 3IMD for large driving amplitude (large signals).

The communication, control, and measurement infrastructures create a two-way intelligent communication between users and the network which facilitates the effective implementation of demand response programs (DRPs) such as the direct load control (DLC). In this paper, optimal power flow as an important research topic in the power systems is presented based on DLC and a new voltage stability index. Simple calculations, voltage dependence, indirect dependence to the load and network topology, and also not reducing the network into a two-bus equivalent model, have made the proposed voltage stability index more applicable to real-time calculations considering the load pattern changes. In the proposed method, the optimal load curtailment in some selected loads of the network, with the aim of improving the voltage stability index of the weakest bus is evaluated. Finally, in order to show the effectiveness of the suggested method, it is applied to a 69-bus radial distribution network as an intelligent system. Manuscript profile -

The machine cogging torque and the harmonic spectrum of the air gap flux density are most no-load indexes of the machine performance. It is shown that, although, the pole-shifting reduces the machine cogging torque; it destroyed the half-odd symmetry in the PMs and produces even harmonics in the air gap flux density. The even harmonics of the air gap flux density, results in undesired torque pulsations. Using the developed analytical model and the direct search method a multi-objective optimization is carried out for the machine cogging torque and the total harmonic distortion of the air gap flux density. Since, the considered variables are not in a same unite; a normalized technique is applied. Finally, the developed model and the obtained results are verified by finite element analysis.

Firstly, a system blackout model is developed and secondly the extreme contingencies that lead to large blackouts are extracted. Initiating events that ultimately lead to rotor angle instabilities are determined by artificial neural network (ANN). Coherent generators are detected by an algorithm using the data presented by phasor measurement units (PMUs). Based on identification of coherent generators, the power system is split into stable islands by disconnecting the weak interconnecting lines and load shedding. The performance of the proposed strategy is verified by simulations on the IEEE 39-bus sample power system. Manuscript profile -

In this analysis, we derive tight upper and lower bounds for ICI power of FrFT-OFDM systems in doubly dispersive channels. These bounds have considerably simpler expressions than the exact ICI formula. Thus, they provide deep and useful insight into the effect of Doppler frequency, symbol duration, channel delay spread, and angle of transform on the ICI power. This analysis confirms that in the special case of flat fast fading channels the FrFT-OFDM and Fourier transform based OFDM (FT-OFDM) systems exhibit analogous performance while in doubly dispersive channels FrFT-OFDM can achieve better performance than single carrier (SC) and FT-OFDM, if the angle of transform is selected accurately.

In this paper, we investigate the online resource allocation for a large class of objective functions in the EH communication systems, which are asymptotically optimal. It is shown that the solution is obtained by only considering the average EH pattern, irrespective of its stochastic dynamics. This optimal solution neither has the complexity of dynamic programming solutions, nor uses the non-causal knowledge about EH pattern. Also, some practical numerical examples for objective functions, which are utilized in communication systems, are considered and general results are derived for them. Moreover, simulation results validate our theoretical findings and show the accuracy of asymptotic theoretical curves for the transmission periods, which are used in practice. Manuscript profile -
