In this article, an effective method to control a power system during emergency conditions is presented. Based on Fuzzy Linear Programming (FLP), a new technique is developed to solve the Load Shedding and Generation Reallocation (LSGR) optimization Problem. The objective function consists of terms of load curtailments and deviations in generation schedules. The constraints are power system var...

With the expanding demand on application of magnesium alloys in automotive and aerospace industries, robust methods in fatigue characterization of commercially available magnesium alloys with high specific strength is anticipated. In this paper, rotating bending load controlled tests has been studied on specimens machined from an extrusion piece of AZ31B. Due to asymmetric and anisotropic behav...

With soaring demands of Internet content services, content delivery network (CDN), one of the most effective content acceleration techniques, is applied into Internet services. Content routing functions in CDN are generally realized by load balancing system. Effectiveness of load balancing strategy determines response speed to users and user experience (UE) directly. This paper extracted the mo...

To meet with different levels of requirements from proprietors and users and to offer a basis for variable action value to the designers, associated with the standards, this dissertation studied the value standard of load effect and environmental effect. For load effect, on the foundation of analyzing variable load effect model, we used equal exceeding probability principle to calculate the loa...

We live busy, social lives, and meeting the challenges of our complex environments puts strain on our cognitive systems. However, cognitive resources are limited. It is unclear how cognitive load affects social decision making. Previous findings on the effects of cognitive load on other-regarding preferences have been ambiguous, allowing no coherent opinion whether cognitive load increases, dec...

In this study, a power control algorithm of variable-speed fixed-pitch horizontal-axis lift-type 20 kW small wind turbine (SWT) was proposed and verified through dynamic simulations. The in study consists algorithms for Region II to track the maximum coefficient, II-1/2 maintain rated rotor speed, III power. To verify algorithm, simulations were performed at speed above which turbulence intensi...

This paper presents the flow fields and aerodynamic loading of a two bladed H-type vertical axis wind turbine with active variable pitch for load circulation control. Particle Image Velocimetry is used to capture at six azimuthal positions blades during operation, three upwind downwind. Flow phenomena such as dynamic stall tower shadow are captured in fields. The phase-averaged velocity their t...

This paper presents the evaluation of a Network-onChip (NoC) that offers load balancing for Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) dedicated for multimedia applications that require high traffic of variable bitrate communication. The NoC is based on a technique that allows the interleaving of flits from different flows in the same communication channel, and keep the load balancing without a centralized control...

This study aims to assess the biomechanical behavior of alveolar bone surrounding implants over protocol with metal, Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) and Zantex bars, in normal osteoporotic conditions. For simulation, geometric models mandibular arch were designed containing 5 two variables. The first variable is condition - osteoporotic-, second material used bars – PEEK Zantex. Simulation was pe...

A novel scuffing methodology was developed utilising variable specimen geometry to replicate numerically modelled top compression ring contact pressures (4–62 MPa) from a 12.8-litre heavy duty diesel engine as function of stroke position. Scuffing grade 250 cast iron induced by reciprocating sliding (TE77) against drip lubricated (PAO4) 52100 rectangular operating at 15 Hz and 311 N normal load...
