Improved Performance and Voltage Stability of Islanded Inverters Using Single-Loop PI-Lead Controller by Mohammed E. Benzoubir, Abderezak Lashab, Khaled Rayane, Mohammed Benmiloud, Mohamed Bougrine, Atallah Benalia, Mohamed Trabelsi, Hani Vahedi

“…This paper introduces a novel single-loop control scheme for voltage regulation in islanded inverters, using a proportional-integral-lead (PI-Lead) controller designed within the synchronous reference frame (SRF) through a loop-shaping approach. Commonly, dual-loop controllers have been employed for this purpose owing to several limitations, such as insufficient stability with a narrow gain margin, a trade-off between stability and bandwidth, and constrained bandwidth due to the need for a significantly lower outer voltage loop bandwidth compared to the inner current one. …”

“…Both glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and S100B have been used as markers of astroglial plasticity, particularly in brain injury; however, they do not necessarily change in the same time frame or direction. Herein, we induced a Parkinson’s disease (PD) model via a 6-OHDA intrastriatal injection in rats and investigated the changes in GFAP and S100B using ELISA in the substantia nigra (SN), striatum, and cerebrospinal fluid on the 1st, 7th, and 21st days following the injection. …”
