In the post-genomic era, with an ever-increasing amount of sequence information, it is critical to develop tools that assist in sifting through all the data to identify information amidst the noise. The two main steps in determining the functional sites in proteins are aligning a large set of homologous sequences and analyzing this large file to identify highly conserved residues. Although a number of tools exist for generating high quality alignments rapidly there are much fewer tools available for rapidly identifying conserved cores within that multiple sequence alignment. PAL, is a Perl script that rapidly identifies conserved residues present in a large alignment file. The strengths of PAL are: speed, flexibility and ease of use.

This paper addresses the dual problem (electricalmechanical) of DFIG-based wind turbines under voltage sags and proposes an optimized solution that, starting from a design aimed to mitigate the mechanical loads in the structural components of the wind turbine, provides the electrical capability to meet the most demanding grid codes.
