For the purpose of model-based analysis and control design, a dynamic physics-based model for free-piston engine generator (FPEG) is developed in this paper. The physics-based model contains 17 states, which include piston dynamics, alternator current, runners and cylinder gas filling dynamics...

We examine the use of dynamic overlapping generations (OLG) computable general equilibrium (CGE) models to analyze the economic effects of tax reforms, using as a paradigm our DiamondZodrow (DZ) model. Such models are especially well-suited to analyzing both the short-run transitional and the...

Over the past three decades the field of regional computable general equilibrium (CGE) modeling has flourished, growing from a handful of top-down, single-region and low-dimensioned multiregional models, to a mature field, in which output of large-scale general-purpose multiregional CGE models...

Case studies examine the extent to which insider trades in financial markets are a reflection of publicly-based forecasts based on (1) candlestick charts and (2) adaptive drift modeling (ADM) of cointegrated time processes depicted in such charts. ADM accommodates both gradual Darwinian-type...

Nuclear Power Plant (Hungary) is developed in this paper based on first engineering principles that is able to describe the time-varying active and reactive power output of the generator. These generators are required to take part in the reactive power support of the power grid following the...

Multilevel power converters are key elements in the electrical grid-tied energy systems. This paper presents a novel topology for stacked multicell (SM) multilevel converters. The suggested SM converter has considerable interests of applications for interconnection of energy systems (renewable...

This article deals with a PEMFC (proton exchange membrane fuel cell) electrical model based on a 1D analog representation of mass transport phenomena, and taking into account the influence of gas supply conditions on fuel cell voltage. By using an electrical analogy to describe transport of...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a control system for a heavy duty industrial robot, including both the control structure and algorithm, which was designed and tested. Design/methodology/approach – An industrial PC with TwinCAT real‐time system is chosen as the motion...
