Abstract: One of the equipment that can help improve distribution system status today and reduce the cost of fault time is remote control switches (RCS). Finding the optimal location and number of these switches in the distribution system can be modeled with various objective functions as a nonlinear optimization problem to improve system reliability and cost. In this article, a particle swarm ...

Use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to provide on-demand communications has been receiving growing interest, especially for use in remote and hard-to-reach areas. Also, the light-emitting diode -based lighting UAVs opened opportunities data transmission through visible-light communications. To manage multi-user interference while avoiding complex handover procedures, we consider zero forcing...

Disaster relief distribution is a very important component in the overall disaster response process. Consideration of limited funds, time pressure and surge demand that come together increase to complexity process must be done short time. Meanwhile, delays delivery can lead decrease level safety welfare disaster-affected victims. This paper proposes location routing problem optimization model f...

Energy harvesting is a conventional method to collect the dissipated energy of a system. In this paper, we investigate the optimal location of a piezoelectric element to harvest maximum power concerning different excitation frequencies of a vibrating cantilever beam. The cantilever beam oscillates by a concentrated sinusoidal tip force, and a piezoelectric patch is integrated on the beam to gen...
