A generalized Gaussian process model for computer experiments with binary time series
Non-Gaussian observations such as binary responses are common in some
computer experiments. Motivated by the analysis of a class of cell adhesion
experiments, we introduce a generalized Gaussian process model for binary
responses, which shares some common features with standard GP models. In
addition, the proposed model incorporates a flexible mean function that can
capture different types of time series structures. Asymptotic properties of the
estimators are derived, and an optimal predictor as well as its predictive
distribution are constructed. Their performance is examined via two simulation
studies. The methodology is applied to study computer simulations for cell
adhesion experiments. The fitted model reveals important biological information
in repeated cell bindings, which is not directly observable in lab experiments.Comment: 49 pages, 4 figure
Effects of POD control on a DFIG wind turbine structural system
This paper investigates the effects power oscillation damping (POD) controller could have on a wind turbine structural system. Most of the published work in this area has been done using relatively simple aerodynamic and structural models of a wind turbine which cannot be used to investigate the detailed interactions between electrical and mechanical components of the wind turbine. Therefore, a detailed model that combines electrical, structural and aerodynamic characteristics of a grid-connected Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) based wind turbine has been developed by adapting the NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) 5MW wind turbine model within FAST (Fatigue, Aerodynamics, Structures, and Turbulence) code. This detailed model is used to evaluate the effects of POD controller on the wind turbine system. The results appear to indicate that the effects of POD control on the WT structural system are comparable or less significant as those caused by wind speed variations. Furthermore, the results also reveal that the effects of a transient three-phase short circuit fault on the WT structural system are much larger than those caused by the POD controller
