Many real-world data sets, like data from social media or bibliographic data, can be represented as heterogeneous networks with several vertex types. Often additional attributes are available for the vertices, such as keywords for a paper. Clustering vertices in such networks, and analyzing the complex interactions between clusters of different types, can provide useful insights into the struct...

This paper presents an enhanced Genetic Algorithm (EGA) based approach to solve the Optimal Power Flow (OPF) with FACTS devices to eliminate line over loads in the system following single line outages. The optimizations are performed on two parameters: the location of the devices, and their values. Two different kinds of FACTS controllers are used for steady state studies: Thyristor Controlled ...

Increasing demand for electricity has placed heavy stress on power system security. Therefore, this paper focuses on the problem of how to maximize power system static security in terms of branch loading and voltage level under normal operation and even the most critical single line contingency conditions. This paper proposes a hybrid approach to find out the optimal locations and settings of t...

Over the years, Nigerian power system is beset with lingering problems, which include severe losses, as well very low transfer capability of transmission network to evacuate from generating stations load at distribution level. Presently, industry undergoing restructuring, especially in generation and systems. In view deregulation electricity marketing, traditional practices are changes address ...

This paper presents an overview over different areas where Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices can help system operators run the transmission system more efficiently especially under the consideration of liberalized electricity markets. Furthermore, an example network, based on realistic data, is shown where the installation of a TCSC increases the transfer capacity into a region c...
