This paper proposes a method for real-time control of capacitors in a distribution system to reduce the total power loss and to improve the voltage profile. Traditionally, this problem of optimal capacitor switching has been solved through various optimizations techniques. However, as the time taken by these traditional optimization methods are quite significant, these methods may not be much s...

in studies done on porous burner, generally burners with axial flow are considered. in this paper, porous burners with radial and axial flow have been modeled numerically and results of radial and axial porous burners with equal fuel consumptions are compared. the mechanism used in combustion phenomenon is 15 stage mechanisms which predict the pollutions production precisely. the results show a...

This paper proposes the application of Direct Approach algorithm for feeder routing of radial distribution system. For which a complete network of available routes is considered and the optimization goal is to find the routes that provide the minimum number of energizing nodes for existing network and load flow analysis for the same network. The feasibility of proposed algorithm is applied on 2...

Radial basis function networks (RBF) are efficient general function approximators. They show good generalization performance and they are easy to train. Due to theoretical considerations RBFs commonly use Gaussian activation functions. It has been shown that these tight restrictions on the choice of possible activation functions can be relaxed in practical applications. As an alternative differ...

the electronic industry suffers a rapid changing and highly rival environment. thus, firms have an essential need to strive for acquiring the competitive advantage. strategy organizational agility (soa) is a tool which enables to assist firms to attain the competitive advantage. therefore, this study benchmarks the core competencies from a case study within the supply chain network and establis...

Non-uniform distribution of customers in a region and variation of their maximum willingness to pay at distinct areas make regional pricing a practical method to maximize the profit of the distribution system. By subtracting the classic objective function, which minimizes operational costs from revenue function, profit maximization is aimed. A distribution network is designed by determining the...

Network reconfiguration (NR) is a well-accepted technique to decrease power losses and enhance the voltage profile of distribution network. The practical challenges in solving NP-hard NR problem using metaheuristics are randomly generate and, each iteration, check repair non-radial network configurations without compromising on solution space least amount time. Inefficient handling results larg...
