Soft open points (SOPs) are power electronic devices that may replace conventional normally-open in distribution networks. They can be used for active flow control, reactive compensation, fault isolation, and service restoration through network reconfiguration with enhanced operation flexibility grid resiliency. Due to unbalanced loading conditions, the voltage unbalance issue, as a common prob...

Live work is a dangerous and complex operation that endangers the lives of operators. This paper presents an autonomous live-line maintenance robot (ALMR), which applied to 10 kV overhead lines. The ALMR can complete most operations automatically, requiring only small amount correction operation. briefly introduces overall design ALMR. main part describes carried out realize automatic operation...

This paper considers a flowshop scheduling problem with a waiting time constraint imposed to restrict the processing of the two operations of each job. If the second operation of a job cannot start within a specified waiting time after the completion of its first operation, then an extra processing time will be incurred for its second operation as a penalty. We first show that is even a greatly...

The effectiveness of maintenance and repairs hydropower equipment largely determines the environmental safety reliability operation modern hydroelectric power plants. article proposes a new approach to planning hydraulic equipment. task is determine sequence control actions system equipment, which, at minimum cost, will ensure given level technical condition fleet this plant for specified perio...

background craniosynostosis results from premature closure of one or more cranial sutures, leading to deformed calvaria and craniofacial skeleton at birth. postoperative complications and outcome in intensive care unit (icu) is related to surgical method and perioperative management. this study determined the perioperative risk factors, which affect outcome of patients after craniosynostosis su...

this research, in addition to survey the existing data on the quality of sahebgharanieh wastewater treatment plant's effluent in the previous years, by runing a three months monitoring stage, studies the conditions of the final settling and aeration basin and the variations of the influent and effluent quantity and quality in removing of major pollutants (bod, cod, tss), while scrutinizing the ...

background: the aim of this study was to estimate the frequency and rate of the first 50 common types of invasive procedures in iran. methods: data about the number of all invasive procedures and each type of procedure that were conducted in iran in 2010 were collected using the main insurance organizations database. these numbers were sorted in an excel database, and the first 50 invasive proc...
