In order to achieve the purpose of energy economization by reducing the operating voltage of an asynchronous motor when it's running at no load or light load, a new kind of intelligent energy-saving motor controller is designed in this paper. This controller judges different load conditions by collecting the operating current, and it has the function of tracking the load automatically in accord...

In this paper, we implement a circuit topology for the gold standard ATX80+.The total output power is 255 watts under full load operation. An active-clamping ZVS forward converter is adopted to provide main power and in secondary side, the BUCK circuit technology is adopted to provide 3 sets power +12V, +5V and +3.3V. To eliminate the current harmonics and to achieve high power factor, an activ...

In this paper, we present a parallel simulated annealing (SA) on distributed computing resources. The parallel SA include two types of cooperation mechanism: inner group and inter group cooperations. In the inner group cooperation, SA processes start from the same initial point, however, move to different direction. That is, two concepts: concentration and diversity are included. On the other h...

Paper presents a study about dynamic effects obtained from the dynamic load testing of the city highway bridges in Latvia carried out from 2005 to 2012. 9 prestressed concrete bridges and 4 composite bridges were considered. 11 of 13 bridges were designed according to the Eurocodes but two according to the previous structural codes used in Latvia (SNIP 2.05.03-84). The dynamic properties of the...

this paper proposes per unit coding for combined economic emission load dispatch problem. in the proposed coding, it is possible to apply the percent effects of elements in any number and with high accuracy in objective function. in the proposed per unit coding, each function is transformed into per unit form based on its own maximum value and has a value from 0 to 1. in this paper, particle sw...

in recent years, soft computing methods have generated a large research interest. the synthesis of the fuzzy logic and the evolutionary algorithms is one of these methods. a particular evolutionary algorithm (ea) is differential evolution (de). as for any ea, de algorithm also requires parameters tuning to achieve desirable performance. in this paper tuning the perturbation factor vector of de ...

The progressive application of non-linear loads in distribution systems (DS) increases current harmonics flow in DS's apparatuses, especially distribution transformers (DTs). Since DTs' operating temperature rises due to the harmonics flow, their loading should be reduced such that the hot spot temperature (HST) is preserved under its permissible value. This means that DTs' available capacity i...

Athletes participating in elite sports are exposed to high training loads and increasingly saturated competition calendars. Emerging evidence indicates that poor load management is a major risk factor for injury. The International Olympic Committee convened an expert group to review the scientific evidence for the relationship of load (defined broadly to include rapid changes in training and co...
