in practical situations, distribution network loads are the mixtures of residential, industrial, and commercial types. this paper presents a hybrid optimization algorithm for the optimal placement of shunt capacitor banks in radial distribution networks in the presence of different voltage-dependent load models. the algorithm is based on the combination of genetic algorithm (ga) and binary part...

This manuscript explores feeder reconfiguration in distribution networks and presents an efficient method to optimize the radial distribution system by means of simultaneous reconfiguration. Network Reconfiguration of radial distribution system is a significant way of altering the power flow through the lines. This assessment presents a modern method to solve the network reconfiguration problem...

Stochastic models of chemical systems are often analysed by solving the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation which is a drift-diffusion partial differential equation for the probability distribution function. Efficient numerical solution of the Fokker-Planck equation requires adaptive mesh refinements. In this paper, we present a mesh refinement approach which makes use of a stochastic simulati...

The concept of adaptive shape parameters (ASP) has been presented for solution of incompressible Navier Strokes equations using mesh-free local Radial Basis Functions (RBF). The aim is to avoid ill-conditioning of coefficient matrices of RBF weights and inaccuracies in RBF interpolation resulting from non-optimized shape of basis functions for the cases where data points (or nodes) are not dist...

in this article, a multi-objective function for placement of distributed generation (dg) and capacitors with thetap setting of under load tap changer (ultc) transformer is introduced. most of the recent articles have paidless attention to dg, capacitor placement and ultc effects in the distribution network simultaneously. insimulations, a comparison between different modes was carried out with,...

Direct drive wind turbine generators are gaining importance for light weight, compact design in wind power generation. A new design approach of superconducting wind generator having both axial and radial air gaps between stator and superconducting rotor winding is selected for this simulation work. This paper deals with the simulation of magnetic flux distribution in stator and rotor coil of th...

The hydration of biomolecules is vitally important in molecular biology, so in this paper thesolvation energy and radial distribution function of DNA bases have been calculated by theMonte Carlo simulation.The geometries of isolated Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thyminehave been optimized using 6-31+G(d,p) basis function sets. These geometries then will be used inthe Monte Carlo calculation o...

In this paper, we deal with connectivity and coverage problem in Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs). We used Friedman test to compare Genetic Algorithm (GA), Tabu Search (TS), Hill Climbing (HC) and Simulated Annealing (SA). We found out that GA, TS, HC and SA have differences in their performance. Then, we used the implemented systems WMN-GA, WMN-TS, WMN-HC and WMN-SA to evaluate and compare the pe...
