Application of Enhanced Self-Adaptive Virtual Inertia Control for Efficient Frequency Control of Renewable Energy-Based Microgrid System Integrated with Electric Vehicles by Sonalika Mishra (22393114)

“…It is noticed that with the SAEVIC approach, the overshoot (OS)-11.40%, undershoot (US)- 46.46%, settling time (ST)-98.6% and fitness value-10.27% are decreased as compared to conventional enhanced VI approach under Stochastic variations of wind, PV, and multi-step load disturbance of MG system.…”

FLACON: A Deep Federated Transfer Learning-Enabled Transient Stability Assessment During Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Grid Faults by Mohamed Massaoudi (16888710)

“…To avoid the constant adjustment of hyperparameters, the FLACON employs an inductive transfer learning approach for hyperparameter tuning of the pre-trained model, markedly decreasing training time. Extensive experiments on datasets from the IEEE 39-bus system and the IEEE 68-bus system demonstrate FLACON's exceptional accuracy of 98.98% compared to some competitive alternatives.…”

Acute intense fatigue does not modify the effect of EVA and TPU custom foot orthoses on running mechanics, running economy and perceived comfort by Ken Van Alsenoy (14150559)

“…Two-way repeated measures ANOVA [condition (CON, EVA, and TPU) × fatigue (fresh and fatigued)] were conducted. Flight time shortened (P = 0.026), peak braking (P = 0.016) and push-off (P = 0.032) forces decreased and vertical stiffness increased (P = 0.014) from before to after the repeated-sprint exercise, independent of footwear condition. …”
