In this paper, Genetic Algorithm is used to solve the profit based unit commitment for deregulated power system in order to achieve optimal generation schedule and maximum profit of GENCOS. Deregulation of power system means unbundling of vertically integrated power system into generation, transmission and distribution companies. This proposed algorithm or approach is tested on IEEE-30 bus syst...

Common cause failures (CCFs) may lead to the simultaneous unavailability or failure of numerous components in nuclear power plant because existence a shared when an initiating event disrupts normal functioning plants. The presence common (intra-unit and inter-unit) can be recognized multi-unit probabilistic safety assessment (MUPSA) as crucial dependency factor that influence accident scenarios...

The relationship between the mobile phone service providers and their service consumers since the about seven years ago when mobile phone became fully integrated into Nigeria society is to say the least rough. Accusations of poor services coupled with high charges are levied against the service providers and in defense the service providers blame it on high running cost especially fuelling and ...

This article presents a distributed real-time control system for the southern grid of the Cameroon power system. The southern grid, which supplies over 90 % of the power output in Cameroon, incorporates two remotely located hydro-electric generating stations, a power distribution center, several thermal plants and hundreds of kilometers of transmission lines. The proposed distributed control sy...
