In this paper, a new approach for data fusion in the context of schema-based Peer-To-Peer (P2P) systems is proposed. Schema-based systems manage and provide query capabilities for (semi-)structured information: queries have to be formulated in terms of schema. Schema-based P2P are called Peer Data Management system (PDMS). A challenging problem in a schema-based peerto-peer (P2P) system is how ...

For an indoor non-directed line of sight optical wireless communication (NLOS-OWC) system we investigate the optimized Lambertian order (OLO) of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). We firstly derive an expression for the OLO from a conventional Lambertian LED model. Then, we analyze the indoor multi-cell NLOS-OWC channel characteristics including the optical power distribution and the multipath time ...

The optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) is a very important problem aspect of power system planning and is a highly nonlinear, non-convex optimization problem because consist of both continuous and discrete control variables. Since the power system has inherent uncertainty, hereby, this paper presents both of the deterministic and stochastic models for ORPD problem in multi objective and sin...

in this paper, a novel method is developed for designing the output feedback controller for static synchronous series compensator (sssc). in the proposed method, the problem of selecting the output feedback gains for the sssc controllers is changed into an optimization problem with a time domain-based objective function.then, it is solved by using the particle swarm optimization (pso) algorithm...

This paper suggests a method for designing PSS to damp multi-machine power system oscillations.  The method is based on robust control theory. First, the conventional method for designing robust controller in LMI framework is illustrated. Then, the suggested method is given, in which, a PID output feedback controller is tuned using the LMI approach. Mostly, the classical methods are used t...

Unlike traditional power grids, smart grids have the advantage of bidirectional power flow and having distributed generations. Distributed generation systems are usually supplied by renewable sources which can cause unpredicted voltage fluctuations as a result of being intermittent. While traditional compensating devices deal with the problem of voltage fluctuation and reduced power quality wit...

This paper proposes an algorithm for transmission cost allocation (TCA) in a large power system based on nodal pricing approach using the multi-area scheme. The nodal pricing approach is introduced to allocate the transmission costs by the control of nodal prices in a single area network. As the number of equations is dependent on the number of buses and generators, this method will be very ti...
