Optimal capacitor placement, considering power system loss reduction, voltage profile improvement, line reactive power decrease and power factor correction, is of particular importance in power system planning and control. The distribution system operator calculates the optimal place, number and capacity of capacitors based on two major purposes: active power loss reduction and return on invest...

Power management strategies play a key role in the design process of hybrid electric vehicles. Electric Assist Control Strategy (EACS) is one of the popular power management strategies for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). The present investigation proposes a new framework to advance the EACS. Dynamic Programming method is applied to an HEV model in several drive cycles, and as a result, some op...

Multiple-threshold CMOS circuit, which has both high and low threshold transistors in a single chip, can be used to deal with the leakage problem in low voltage low power (LVLP) and high performance applications. The high threshold transistors can suppress the subthreshold leakage current, while the low threshold transistors are used to achieve the high performance. In this paper, we will intro...

in recent decades, issuing of catastrophe bonds for covering the catastrophe losses such as earthquakes, floods, etc. are getting more widespread. the purpose of this paper is determination of the optimal interest rates for investors of these securities, so that it becomes attractive for them. this paper uses fire insurance data in the period of 1328 to 1388 and considers the peaks over thresho...
