PRZEGLĄD ELEKTROTECHNICZNY (Electrical Review), 2012

In this paper, a hybrid AC/DCmicrogrid is studied. Furthermore, different control strategies are defined for most of converters in the islanded and grid-connected modes of microgrid to control the voltage of the DC and AC buses. To have a stable operation, converters controller is also coordinated. The main objective of this paper is to design a wavelet-based multi-resolution PI (MRPI) controller for the voltage control of the hybrid microgrid under large disturbances of the study system. The proposed controller is based on the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) of the error signal between actual and command voltages. Results will show more accurate performance of MRPI controller than the conventional PI controller.

Since 2005, KLM Technology Group along with our senior group of consultants has been hosting regional conferences, teaching at universities as adjunct professors, and conducting in-house training on Building Operational Excellence. In September 2005 KLM Technology Group hosted a regional conference titled “Building Operational Excellence in the Hydrocarbon Industry” (title courtesy of Mr. Jeff Gray). Since 2015, Operational Excellence has become the next phase of Lean Manufacturing – you can thank or curse us later.

Emotion, Space and Society , 2013

Against the contemporary universalist injunction to ‘be empathetic’, this paper explores the possibilities of what I call ‘alternative empathies’ in the aftermath of the Atlantic slave trade and European colonialism. Offering an affective reading of Jamaica Kincaid's A Small Place (1988/2000), it examines how empathy expressed at the margins of postcolonial imaginaries might disrupt or refigure some of the dominant ways that affect is thought and mobilised in pervasive Euro-American liberal and neoliberal discourses. As a powerful commentary on the cultural, political, economic and affective links between slavery, colonialism, and contemporary practices of tourism in the Caribbean that has provoked intense emotional responses among its readers, A Small Place offers a pertinent site through which to consider how history, power and violence shape the meanings and effects of empathy. It illustrates how the affective afterlives of decolonisation shape contemporary subjectivities in ways that are not easy to penetrate, nor possible to undo, through the power of empathetic will alone. Yet it also points to the role that alternative empathies can play in interrogating ideas of time as linear and universal and space as self-contained, revealing how we live affectively through different temporalities and spatialities – with varying implications for our senses of possibility in and for the world. I thus argue that exploring alternative empathies might open out to affective politics which do not view emotions instrumentally as sources of – or solutions to – complex social and political problems, but rather examine diverse and shifting relations of feeling for what they might tell us about the affective workings of power in a transnational world.

Drilling through salt sections requires that the particular properties of salt, its creep behaviour and high solubility, be recognized and incorporated in the drilling plan. Salt is a viscous material and creeps under differential stress; the creep rate is a strong function of both temperature and stress difference (actually underbalance between the mud pressure and the vertical stress). A simple model approach to account for these effects in a reasonably quantitative manner is described.

This article reviews the essay collection Daoist Resonances in Heidegger: Exploring a Forgotten Debt (2022) from a Heideggerian perspective to investigate the confluence of Heidegger and Daoism. The volume offers comprehensive analyses of Daoist thinking and its stimulating intersection with Heidegger's philosophy. I approach this book from a Heideggerian perspective, highlighting Heidegger's Daoist debt via a "Daoist Heidegger": a potential aspect of Heidegger who learns from his Daoist progenitors. From each author's work in this collection, I retrieve Heidegger's potential Daoist moments beginning with the breaking down of the "why" and the engrossment of the "worldhood" anchoring Heidegger's Gelassenheit and Zhuangzi's 无为 (wu wei). Secondly, I discuss the Daoist Heidegger's
