This paper deals with the voltage stability problem associated with radial distribution networks. Two load models are studied: the full load flow model (FLFM) and the equivalent generic single-line model (EGSLM). Optimization is then carried out to find the optimal capacitor size that minimizes some costing function, and finally several capacitor placement techniques are studied.

A model has been developed to study the global complex dynamics of a series of blackouts in power transmission systems [1, 2]. This model has included a simple level of self-organization by incorporating the growth of power demand and the engineering response to system failures. Two types of blackouts have been identified with different dynamical properties. One type of blackout involves loss o...

According to the shortage of the traditional offset line in Doherty power amplifier, a new offset line technique is proposed to match carrier amplifier with the load and to improve the performance of the Doherty amplifier. By simulation of the computer software, a higher efficiency is obtained using the new offset line comparing the two kinds of offset lines. The new offset line technique could...

In the power system, any sudden load changes leads to the deviation in tie-line power and the frequency. So load frequency control is an issue in power system operation and control for supplying sufficient and reliable electric power with good quality. The main goal of the load frequency control of a power system is to maintain the frequency of each area and tie-line power flow with in prescrib...

OBJECTIVE WHO recommends ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor with two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors in HIV-infected patients failing non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor-based first-line treatment. Here, we aimed to provide more evidence for the choice of nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor and boosted protease inhibitor. DESIGN ANRS 12169 is a 48-week, randomi...

In the present work, the design and microfabrication of a tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) electrical current sensor is presented. After its physical and electrical characterization, a wattmeter is developed to determine the active power delivered to a load from the AC 50/60 Hz mains line. Experimental results are shown up to 1000 W of power load. A relative uncertainty of less than 1.5% with ...

This paper presents the application of Fuzzy ARTMAP neural network for evaluating on-line load forecasting in short term case. A new approach using artificial neural networks (ANNs) is proposed for short term load forecasting. To forecast loads of a day, the hourly load pattern and the maximum and minimum and average of temprature must be determined. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the prop...

Many dynamic resource allocation and on-line load balancing problems can be modeled by processes that sequentially allocate balls into bins. The balls arrive one by one and are to be placed into bins on-line without using a centralized controller. If n balls are sequentially placed into n bins by placing each ball in a randomly chosen bin, then it is widely known that the maximum load in bins i...

This paper presents the analysis of the load frequency control (LFC) of a realistic two area interconnected power system having diverse sources of power generation. A Thyristor Controlled Phase Shifter (TCPS) is used in series with AC tie line for improving the dynamic performance of the LFC system. The power system simulation is done using MATLAB Simulink and control problem is solved using MA...
