Optimizing Load Frequency Control of Multi-Area Power Renewable and Thermal Systems Using Advanced Proportional–Integral–Derivative Controllers and Catch Fish Algorithm by Saleh A. Alnefaie, Abdulaziz Alkuhayli, Abdullah M. Al-Shaalan

“…Additionally, by contrasting the performance of the PID, PI, cascaded PI(PDN), and FOPID, PI(1+DD) controllers, the efficiency of the CFA is confirmed. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis that considers simultaneous modifications of the frequency bias coefficient (B) and speed regulation (R) within a range of ±25% validates the efficacy and dependability of the suggested CFA-tuned PI(1+DD). …”

Correlation between Electrochemical Relaxations and Morphologies of Conducting Polymer Dendrites by Antoine Baron, Enrique H. Balaguera, Sébastien Pecqueur

“…Correlations are established between dispersive capacitances of dendritic morphologies and growth duration, independently from exogenous physical variables: distance, evaporation or aging. Deviation of the anomalous capacitance from the conventional Debye dielectric relaxation can be programmed, as the growth controls the dispersion coefficient of the dendrite's constant-phase elements relaxation. …”
