Power flow is an important tool in power system studies. Usually, a power system is assumed to be balanced and the power flow analysis is carried out for the same. Practical power system networks are highly unbalanced and it is required to obtain load flow (power flow) solution for such unbalanced networks. The unbalancing in power system is unavoidable due to the untransposed transmission line...

This paper presents the analysis of four leg voltage source inverter (VSI) used as an active filter (AF) for reactive power compensation, load balancing, harmonic elimination and neutral current compensation in three-phase four-wire non-linear loads. A variable structure control (VSC) over the average dc bus capacitor of the AF is employed for the control. A hysteresis rule based carrierless pu...

The impacts of ventilation ratio and vent balance on cooling load and air flow of naturally ventilated attics are studied in this paper using an unsteady computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. Buoyancy-driven turbulent ventilations in attics of gable-roof residential buildings are simulated for typical summer conditions. Ventilation ratios from 1/400 to 1/25 combined with both balanced and u...

In this paper, we propose the Fuzzy Scheduling System (FSS) to deal with the dedicated machine constraint. The constraint of having a dedicated machine for photolithography process is the new issue introduced in photolithography machinery due to natural bias. If we randomly schedule the wafer lots to arbitrary photolithography machines at the first photolithography stage, then the load of all p...

The electric arc furnaces are a very large power load, determining the negative effects on the power quality (harmonics currents, unbalanced load, and reactive power). For a maximum efficiency of the power consumption it is necessary to use an automat system for control the harmonics filters, the reactive power compensation installation and the electrodes position, in order to obtain a high val...

The electric arc furnaces are a very large power load, determining the negative effects on the power quality (harmonics currents, unbalanced load, and reactive power). For a maximum efficiency of the power consumption it is necessary to use an automat system of electrodes position control, in order to obtain a high value of power factor and a maximum efficiency. In this paper is present an adap...

We describe a strategy for optimal memory and work distribution. We have performed a series of tests to find an optimal data distribution in the Cray T3D memory, and to identify a strategy for the Dynamic Load Balance (DLB). The results of tests show that the step duration depends on two main factors: the data locality and the network contention. In a very large simulation, due to network conte...
