due to the increasing interest on renewable sources in recent years, the studies on integration of distributed generation to the power grid have rapidly increased. in order to minimize line losses of power systems, it is crucially important to define the size and location of local generation to be placed. minimizing the losses in the system would bring two types of saving, in real life, one is ...

this paper discusses the control of flexible microgrids, consisting of a redox flow batteries (rfb) and a new power conditioning system (pcs) for the rfb. considering the importance of energy storage, this study is essential in power systems that are developed cautiously. rfb is connected to power system by a dc/dc or dc/ac converter to produce a dc voltage. it is very important that this conve...

the momentum equation in the kinematic wave model is a power-law equation with two parameters. these parameters, which relate the discharge to the flow area, are commonly derived using manning’s equation. in general, the values of these parameters depend on the flow depth except for some special cross sections. in this paper, improved estimates of the kinematic wave parameters for circular chan...

The purpos of this study was to determine the effect of  twelve session of high intensity cycle training with blood flow restriction on aerobic and anaerobic performance of active student men. To this purpose, 24 valentear active students men from physical eduction faculty of kharazmi university aged 19-23 years old, students (mean ± SD weight: 67.89±6 kg, height: 173.92±5.41cm, and  BMI: 22.7±...

the understanding soil erosion processes and the development of accurate erosion prediction models require understanding of detachment, deposition and sediment transport in rills. to evaluate the effect of soil type and flow stream power on the relative importance of flow driven processes of sediment transport, and on the boundary between the processes regarding to particle size, experiments we...

Measures of network structural integrity useful in the analysis and synthesis of power systems are discussed. Signal flow methodology is applied to derive an expression for the paths between sources and sinks in a power network. Connectivity and reach ability properties of the network are obtained using the minors of a modified connectivity matrix. Node-connectivity, branch connectivity and mix...

Main contribution of this work is improving transient stability by installing Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) in power systems. For do this, Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) has been selected. Also a novel structure has been suggested to improve classic Harmony Search algorithm and suggested improved Harmony Search (iHS) algorithm. This algorithm has been used to obtain UPFC paramet...
