The loads and wheeling transactions are varying very rapidly in the deregulated power market. Hence the power producers must respond quickly to those changes without affecting the system security and stability. This paper presents an application of Fitness Distance Ratio Particle Swarm Optimization (FDR PSO) algorithm to determine the optimal generation dispatch of power producers with dynamic ...

Analog and analog-digital mixed signal electronics needed for sensor systems are indispensable components which tend to drifts from the normal phase of operation due to the impact of manufacturing conditions and environmental influences like etching, aging etc. Precise design methodology, trimming / calibration are essential to restore functionality of the system. Recent block level granular ap...

Collaborating with actors from outside of an organization, such as consultancies, customers, or suppliers, has proven to be a success factor for business process change. Research on business process change maturity views effective collaboration as a sign for mature organizations. It argues that establishing systematic cross-boundary collaboration and making use of business process change networ...

Partnerships have been adopted by most organizations as a major technique to manage technological turbulence and dynamic market environments. The paper aims to investigate four key organizational capabilities in partnerships that are proposed to contribute to the improvement of the organization’s agility—a dynamic capability for managing capricious environments. The role of trust between partne...

the main contribution of the present work is to investigate the capability of exponential-type constitutive equationto model the warm deformation flow curves of a eutectoid steel in the temperature range of 620-770 °c andat the strain rates in the range of 0.01-10 s-1 conducted on a gleeble-1500 thermomechanical simulator. warmdeformation in this temperature range facilitates the occurrence of ...

the ability to perform rolling contact fatigue (rcf) experiments in wheel–rail material is provided by a new small–scale test rig, manifesting the actual dynamic behaviour of the railway system. in this paper, a multi-body dynamics (mbd) model is proposed, simulating the vibration behaviour of the prescribed rig. the new testing facility is modelled using a three-dimensional model of the vehicl...
