In this paper, we introduce a novel passive control method to mitigate the unsteadiness effects associated to the swirling flows with self-induced instabilities. The control method involves a progressive throttling cross-section flow at the outlet of the...

In almost all urban contexts and in many extra-urban conurbations, where road traffic is the main noise pollution source, the use of barriers is not allowed. In these cases, low-noise road surfaces are the most used mitigation action together with traffi...

For islanded microgrids, droop-based control concepts have been developed both in single and three-phase variants. The three-phase controllers often assume a balanced network; hence, unbalance sharing and/or mitigation remains a challenging issue. Theref...
