Installation of capacitors in distribution networks is one of the most used procedure to compensate reactive power generated by loads and, consequently, to reduce technical losses. So, the problem consists in identifying the optimal placement and sizing of capacitors. This problem is known in the literature as optimal capacitor placement problem. Neverthless, depending on the location and size ...

the harmonic in distribution systems becomes an important problem due to an increase in nonlinear loads. this paper presents a new approach based on a graph algorithm for optimum placement of passive harmonic filters in a multi-bus system, which suffers from harmonic current sources. the objective of this paper is to minimize the network loss, the cost of the filter and the total harmonic disto...

Abstract Introducing distributed computing paradigms to the manufacturing domain increases difficulty of designing and planning an appropriate IT infrastructure. This paper proposes a model solution approach addressing conjoint application resource placement problem in factory context. Instead aiming create exact model, requirements capabilities are simplified, focusing on usability design phas...

In this paper, we discuss the multi-depot vehicle routing problem with regard to mobile beekeeping. Considering that beekeepers usually do not have their own land plots rarely rely on external transporters and often plots, present a fully functional platform pair beekeepers, transporters, plot owners. Two algorithms for calculating optimal beekeeping routes are developed in order increase honey...
