Soft Computing Based MIMO Self-tuning Adaptive Control Paradigms for Multiple HVDC Links and FACTS This research work presents an intelligent nonlinear supplementary damping controller for line-commutated converters (LCC) based high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system and flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) Controllers to enhance the damping of the power system oscillations. Especially, the damping of electromechanical inter-area low-frequency oscillations (LFOs) is one of the major barriers to improve the secure and stable operation of an inter-interconnected power system. The fast and flexible power modulation aspect of LCC-HVDC transmission system is exploited through supplementary damping control to suppress LFOs with a support of two FACTS controllers i.e. thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) and static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) in a large-scale AC/DC power system. An adaptive NeuroFuzzy feedback linearization control (ANFFBLC) approach based on feedback linearization control (FBLC) is proposed to design an adaptive damping control structure. First, the nonlinear dynamics of AC/DC power system are online identified on the basis of measured signals of the power system including speed deviations of generators, power flow through a transmission line, and bus voltage. Intelligent adaptive NeuroFuzzy network is used for online approximation of nonlinear dynamic model of the power system. The measured signals of the power system are input to the NeuroFuzzy identification network and output is the nonlinear dynamic model of the power system. Six different conjugate gradient-based iterative algorithms are employed for online adjustment of the NeuroFuzzy network parameters to correctly approximate the nonlinear power system model by minimizing the identification error between actual power system model and estimated model. The ANFFBLC scheme transforms the nonlinear model of the power system into linear one and derives an appropriate damping control law using a well established linear control techniques. The coefficient vector in the FBLC design is self-tuned on the basis of the filter tracking error that is the error between desired and actual power system model. The normalized least mean squares (nLMS) algorithm based FBLC parameters tuning scheme ensures the effective performance of ANFFBLC over a wide range of operating conditions of the power system. Next, ANFFBLC derives an appropriate damping control signals that modulate the HVDC power flow, TCSC impedance, and STATCOM voltage after the disturbance has occurred. The research work presents the ANFFBLC schemes for both multi-inputmulti-output (MIMO) and single-input-single-output (SISO) power systems performing under different operating conditions and equipped with combinations of HVDC systems and FACTS controllers. The main features of the proposed control approach are 1) it entails minimal apriori knowledge of the power system to achieve the control objectives. 2) The adaptive nature of the proposed nonlinear control design ensures improved damping performance at different operating conditions. 3) The real-time optimization of adaptive parameters ensures an accurate approximation of nonlinear dynamics and appropriate damping law to provide improved damping of LFOs. The damping performance evaluation of the proposed controllers is based on the observation of the overshoot and settling time of LFOs and speed deviation error based performance indexes. A performance comparison of ANFFBLC schemes with a conventional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller and non-conventional direct intelligent NeuroFuzzy controller and adaptive PID is also provided to highlight its merits. The supplementary damping control approaches are tested on the two different test systems. One is two-area multi-machines test power system with one HVDC link or one FACTS controller installed in parallel with AC tie and another is multiarea multi-machine test power system with multiple HVDC systems and FACTS controllers. Disturbance stability studies are performed with different operating scenarios to demonstrate and compare the performances of the proposed control and benchmark control methodologies including conventional and non-conventional controllers. The study results show the effective and superior performance of the ANFFBLC strategy for improved transient and steady-state stability of the AC/DC power system.

8۔عدالتی فیصلوں میں تاخیر

پاکستان جیسے ملک میں پولیس کی سستی اور عدم تعاون کا مرکز عمومی طور پر حدودمقدمات ہوتے ہیں ۔ پھر ان مقدمات کا دعویٰ بہت تاخیر سے دائر ہوتا ہے ۔ پھر بہت زیادہ تاخیر سے ان مقدمات کے کیس عدالتوں میں لگتے ہیں اور بآلاخر ان مقدمات کے فیصلے بھی بہت سالوں بعد ہوتے ہیں ۔اس کی بنیادی وجہ پولیس کی سستی ، رشوت کی عادات ، وکلاء کا عدم تعاون اور ججز کی تعداد کا کم ہونا ہے۔ پاکستانی معاشرہ اس وقت جرائم کا گڑھ بن چکا ہے ۔ روزاانہ کی بنیاد پر کافی زیادہ جرائم رپورٹ بھی ہوتے ہیں اور ان کی FIR بھی درج ہو تی ہیں ۔پھر یہ مقدمات عدلیہ کے سامنے پیش ہو تے ہیں ۔ اس طرح حدود وقصاص کے مقدمات سالوں تک چلتے ہیں۔ اس کے علاوہ اداروں کے آپس میں مربوط نہ ہونے کی وجہ سے حدود وقصاص کے مقدمات کو غلط طریقے سے نمٹایا جا تا ہے۔ وقت پر انصاف نہ ملنے کی وجہ سے مظلو م اور متضرر اپنے عدالتی نظام سے اور انصاف نہ ملنے پر ریاست سے بھی بد ظن ہو جاتے ہیں ۔

The Making of Benazir Income Support Program

The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP), introduced in 2008-09, is a unique cash support scheme for economically stressed families. Its uniqueness arises from several facets. The cash transfers are provided only to women aged over 18 years and have been ever married. It is unconditional and aimed at supplementing income as opposed to alleviating poverty. It was politically neutral, given that the facility to identify potential beneficiaries was extended to all parliamentarians, irrespective of party affiliation. A set of filters, applied electronically, ensured objectivity in beneficiary selection. Disbursement mechanism was automated to ensure minimal leakage. This paper outlines the process of the preparatory work that went into designing BISP – the conceptual debates, the beneficiary identification and disbursement procedures, etc. – involving a combination of high quality research with political decision making. It also addresses the debates surrounding BISP, cites independent empirical studies that show that the parliamentarian-based beneficiary selection mechanism was efficient and equitable and did indeed cover the deserving, and also responds to the variety of criticisms. ______

Numerical Simulation of Complex Flows of Fibre Reinforced Composites

Complex laminar flows of incompressible fluids have been investigated numerically. Both Newtonian and generalised non–Newtonian fluids are simulated, whilst for generalised non–Newtonian fluids, two shear thinning models, i.e., Bird–Carreau and Power law, are employed. Both models are. For numerical investigation the flow problem adopted is two–dimensional axisymmetric periodically constricted tube. The frame of reference used in the investigation is cylindrical polar co–ordinates. For the simulation two–dimensional momentum transport equation is solved using a Finite Element Method (FEM). Numerical scheme used is known as Taylor–Galerkin/pressure–correction algorithm. In open literature this problem is simulated only for single aspect ratio (amplitude) of the undulation in the absence of fibres. Whereas, in this research investigation principal aim is introduction of fibre reinforced composite material. Different aspect ratios of undulation are also simulated at various inertial forces. For comparison purpose with other experimental results as well as numerical prediction, initially, flow is considered for constant viscosity Newtonian fluids through periodically constricted tube. Subsequently, from dilute to semi–dilute rigid rod like fibre suspended in all fluid models, i.e., constant viscosity, Bird–Carreau and Power law fluids have been examined. For different undulation levels of periodically constricted tube, the critical values of the Reynolds number have been identified, where beginning of embryo recirculation region starts. As inertial force increases, augmentation of vortex is observed in the undulation region. While, introducing fibres vortices shrinks in length and intensity. For Newtonian, power law and Bird–Carreau models pressure isobars are also demonstrated. In all levels of fibre concentration, the graphical illustration of calculated data for friction factor as well as empirical relationships is illustrated for all undulation aspect ratios.
