With the development of critical loads, power quality problem has become particularly important and poor power quality will be cause many adverse effects and the cost of many deaths will follow. To improve power quality and protection of sensitive loads against grid disturbances have been used new equipment based on power electronics similar FACTs devices, they are Custom Power. One of the most...

undoubtedly, sampling design is an important issue in monitoring of a water distribution network (wdn). the aim of the current paper which focuses on the localization of samplings, is to present a practical method for optimization of the position and number of the pressure measurements. this method works based on the assumption of some leakages in a network and searching for them by nodal press...

in this paper, we study wsn design, as a multi-objective optimization problem using ga technique. we study the effects of ga parameters including population size, selection and crossover method and mutation probability on the design. choosing suitable parameters is a trade-off between different network criteria and characteristics. type of deployment, effect of network size, radio communication...

An accurate estimation of network performance is critical for the success of optical networks design. Traffic modeling and availability modeling for optical network are at heart of optical network design. Traffic models and availability models need to be accurate and able to capture the statistical characteristics of the actual traffic and the ability of a network to sustain failures. However, ...

Purpose: Network design of the supply chain is an important and strategic aspect of logistics management. In this paper, we address the network design problem specific to packaged gases (cylinder) supply chain. We propose an integrated framework that allows for the determination of the optimal facility locations, the filling plant production capacities, the inventory at plants and hubs, and the...

This paper is focused on the optimised design of a distribution network taking into account the variability of the final customer demand. In particular we study the design of a one-to-many distribution system, considering the product flows from the hub to the different transit points, as well as the reverse flows. The optimization procedure consists of two main steps: the first step is the dete...

in this paper, a new approach was presented for bus network design which took the effects of three out of four stages of the bus planning process into account. the presented model consisted of three majors steps 1- network design procedure (ndp), 2- frequency determination and assignment procedure (fdap), and 3- network evaluation procedure (nep). genetic algorithm (ga) was utilized to solve th...
