This book presents the study to design, develop, and implement improved PI control techniques using dead-time compensation, structure enhancements, learning functions and fractional ordering parameters. Two fractional-order PI controllers are proposed and designed: fractional-order predictive PI and hybrid iterative learning based fractional-order predictive PI controller. Furthermore, the proposed fractional-order control strategies and filters are simulated over first- and second-order benchmark process models and further validated using the real-time experimentation of the pilot...

This book provides an overview of a power transformer infrastructure and comprehensive digital protection of it. It presents various protective methodologies available to protect the transformer from disturbances by taking care of mal-operation due to external disturbances and providing fine protection to the transformer. 

Though there are many protection methodologies available in the practice. However, these existing methodologies may mal-operate during external disturbances such as inrush, over-fluxing and short circuits. Hence, further research is needed in addition to the...
