this paper focuses on multi-objective designing of multi-machine thyristor controlled series compensator (tcsc) using strength pareto evolutionary algorithm (spea). the tcsc parameters designing problem is converted to an optimization problem with the multi-objective function including the desired damping factor and the desired damping ratio of the power system modes, which is solved by a spea ...

Model-Free Optimal Control of Distributed Energy Resources in Electric Power Distribution Systems by Daniel B. Arnold Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering Mechanical Engineering University of California, Berkeley Professor David Auslander, Chair Distributed Energy Resources (DER) have the potential to both improve the manner in which the electric power distribution system is operated and provide...

Thermo-elastic analysis of a functionally graded hollow sphere is carried out and numerical solutions of displacement, stress and thermal fields are obtained using the Polynomial differential quadrature (PDQ) method. Material properties are assumed to be graded in the radial direction according to a power law function, ho...

this research develops thermo-elastic analysis of a functionally graded cylinder under thermo-mechanical loadings. heat conduction equation in cylindrical coordinate system is solved. thermal conductivity coefficient is graded along the radial direction. by considering a symmetric distribution of temperature, loading and boundary conditions, strain-displacement and stress-strain relations can b...

This paper presents the design of a fast and low power consumption distance computation unit : ∑ i(Ai −Bi) . It is dedicated to the digital RBF neural network implementation. The proposed architecture is composed of two parts. The first computes the distance (Ai − Bi), and the second performs the sum of these distances. It is based on an efficient squarer in redundant arithmetic. Thank to this ...

This paper proposes a novel approach for optimal allocation of a distributed generator in a radial distribution feeder for loss minimization and tail end node voltage improvement during peak load. A multi objective optimization method is proposed to determine optimal allocation of a distributed generation (DG) unit in a radial distribution feeder. The DG allocation problem has been formulated a...
