Computational Intelligence (CI) techniques are useful tools for modeling, dynamic reconfiguration, control and optimization. The nonlinear stochastic power network requires different mathematical models as system parameters and network topologies change. Intelligent system identification and control improves the dynamic and transient behavior of power networks, damps inter-area oscillations, an...

With regard to the importance of scientific decision-making in power plants prioritization to produce electrical energy (power) from renewable energies (purified), in this paper, research with specialists opinions with respond to questionnaires provided upon three efficient operational criterion in position of three presented power plant in country which used wind, solar water energies for prod...

Optimization of the power system plays a major role in power system planning. Unit Commitment and Economic Dispatching are the most important part of every plant-planning project. Unit Commitment is the problem that searches the economical way for power generation, when the power consumption and altered constraints of the power plants are considered. Recently, the attention of the environmental...

This paper considers the problem of Power Plant Preventive Maintenance Scheduling (PPPMS). The goal is to evaluate which generators must stop production to be checked periodically for safety reasons. Preventive maintenance is crucial because a failure in a power plant may cause a general breakdown in an electric grid. This situation might result in a disruption of electric service to customers....

background: total system design (tsd) factors are design factors, which have impact on overall performance of the power plants in context of total human engineering or macroergonomic. the evaluation of the impact of tsd factors was the main goal of this study. the main objective was human factors engineering on human performance in a power plant. methods : the systems being studied are the cont...

the growth of the electrical energy consumption form one side and the bounded available fossil fuel and other limitations from the other side, makes the thermal power plants upgrading as a main demand in the world. decreasing the internal energy consumption, increasing the performance and the output power with the minimum costs are the important targets of the power plants retrofitting. nowaday...
