Wind power has been widely used in the past decade because of its safety and cleanness. Double fed induction generator (DFIG), as one most popular wind turbine generators, suffers from degradation. Therefore, reliability assessment for this type is great significance. The DFIG can be characterized a multi-state system (MSS) whose components have more than two states. However, due to limited dat...

in this paper, reconfiguration problem of distribution network has been investigated toimprove reliability and reduce power loss by placement of renewable energy sources; i.e. solarcell and wind turbine. for this, four reliability indices are considered in objective function;which are as follows: system average interruption frequency index (saifi), system averageinterruption duration index (sai...

The reliability function of variable-rate Slepian-Wolf coding is linked to the reliability function of channel coding with constant composition codes, through which computable lower and upper bounds are derived. The bounds coincide at rates close to the Slepian-Wolf limit, yielding a complete characterization of the reliability function in that rate regime. It is shown that variable-rate Slepia...

Bidirectional Texture Functions (BTFs) provide a realistic depiction of the appearance of many real-world materials as they contain the spatially varying light scattering behavior of the material surface. Since editing of existing BTF data is still in its early stages, materials have to be measured from real-world samples. In contrast to the related Spatially Varying BRDFs (SVBRDFs), the reflec...

A source coding problem is considered for a robust description system with one encoder and many decoders. The rate-reliability-distortion function is specified. An example is given showing a distinction in calculation of the rate-reliability-distortion function as compared with the rate-distortion function.

The representation of the reliability function of the lifetime of a coherent system as a mixture of the reliability function of order statistics associated with the lifetimes of its components is a very useful tool to study the ordering and the limiting behaviour of coherent systems. In this paper, we obtain several representations of the reliability functions of residual lifetimes of used cohe...

Data transport (DT) is a core function for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) with different applications running on the same WSN, and having varied requirements on the reliability of data delivery. Furthermore, application requirements may evolve over time. Given that the DT reliability is a function of the continuously changing network properties and protocol parameters, a framework for online a...

This work deals with the calculation of Franck-Condon factors using Hua potential function for the first time. The advantages of this function have been mentioned, and the numerical methods are used to obtain Franck-Condon factors for the following band systems: Agreement between the values of this work and those obtained from other works is quite good that verifies the reliability...
