Advanced control of distributed energy resources at the consumer level requires full situational awareness of the distribution system. This is typically performed by a topology identification and state estimation. In a distribution system, the topology is usually unknown since it depends on switch configurations on the network. In the case of residential feeders, switches may be passive compone...

Building robust network monitoring applications is hard given the unpredictable nature of network traffic. Complex analysis on streaming network data usually leads to overload situations when presented with anomalous traffic, extreme traffic mixes or highly variable rates. We present an on-line predictive load shedding scheme for monitoring systems that quickly reacts to overload situations by ...

We prove an exact lower bound of 2 1 m on the competitive ratio of any deterministic algorithm for load balancing of temporary tasks on m identical machines. We also show a lower bound of 2 1 m for randomized algorithms for small m and 2 2 m+1 for general m. If in addition, we restrict the sequence to polynomial length, then the lower bound for randomized algorithms becomes 2 O( log logm logm )...

We propose an adaptive online load-balancing protocol for multi-gateway Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) which, based on the current network conditions, balances load between gateways. Traffic is balanced at the TCP flow level and, as a result, the aggregate throughput, average flow throughput and fairness of flows improves. The proposed scheme (referred to as Gateway Load-Balancing, GWLB) is high...

In this study, dynamic behavior of a mooring line in a floating system is analyzed by probability approaches. In dynamics, most researches have shown the system model and environments by mathematical expression. We called this process as the forward dynamics. However, there is a limit to define the exact environments because of uncertainty. To consider uncertainty, we introduce the redundancy i...

The main focus of this paper is to presents comparative principal problems of bibliographies on the linearization of Load Flow equations, network outages and the interdependence among nodal power injections. These methods classified as simulation method, analytical method, or by a combination of both are used to obtain the mean and variance of Power Line Flow. Key-Words: Cumulative Distribution...

We have examined the feasibility of determining coronary collateral blood flow in an open-chest dog by a "load line" type of analysis as is often employed to analyze transistors and vacuum tubes. The load line equation states that collateral flow is given by the quantity: [Formula: see text] where PcP is peripheral coronary pressure, AOP is aortic pressure, Qret is retrograde flow, and K is a c...

Load flow (LF) study, which is performed to determine the power system static states (voltage magnitudes and voltage angles) at each bus to find the steady state operating condition of a system, is very important and is the most frequently carried out study by power utilities for power system planning, operation and control. In this paper, a radial basis function neural network (RBFN) is propos...
