Optimization of grid independent diesel-based hybrid system for power generation using improved particle swarm optimization algorithm

The power supply of remote sites and applications at minimal cost and with low emissions is an important issue when discussing future energy concepts. This paper presents modeling and optimization of a photovoltaic (PV)/wind/diesel system with batteries storage for electrification to an off-grid remote area located in Rafsanjan, Iran. For this location, different hybrid systems are studied and ...

Efficient Optimization Methods for Communication Network Planning and Assessment

In this work, we develop efficient mathematical planning methods to design communication networks. First, we examine future technologies for optical backbone networks. As new, more intelligent nodes cause higher dynamics in the transport networks, fast planning methods are required. To this end, we develop a heuristic planning algorithm. The evaluation of the cost-efficiency of new, adapative t...

Communication Power Optimization for Network-on-Chip Architectures

Network-on-Chip (NoC) architecture is emerging as a practical interconnection architecture for future systems-on-chip products. In this paper, an energy-efficient static algorithm which optimizes the energy consumption of task communications in NoCs with voltage scalable links is proposed. In order to find optimal link speeds, the proposed algorithm (based on a genetic formulation) globally exp...

Application of Dynamic Programming Method for Reactive Power Planning

A new approach for solving reactive power planning problem is presented, which is based on dynamic programming and the use of a sensitivity approach to obtain candidate buses for allocation of reactive power devices in power systems. Once the set of candidate buses has been defined, the program gives the location and size of the reactive sources needed to satisfy operating and security constrai...
