Potential Effects of Modifying the Masagana 99 Program of the Philippines
… 99 program of the Philippines by improving farm performance as well as the viability and outreach of the lending program. The program is being threatened by the poor repayment of production loans by farmer-borrowers. Loan default rate is high (about 24%) in spite of the claimed increases in …

Application of model predictive control on wind farm incorporated with dual battery energy storage system
… so that the reference power from the actual wind farm power can be tracked with satisfactory performance. The control strategy considers certain practical constraints including the power delivered/extracted from each battery, as well as the state of charge on each battery. The operation of the two …
