This paper presents an algorithm for the microgrid planning as an alternative to the co-optimization of generation and transmission expansion planning in electric power systems. The integration of microgrids in distribution systems will offer a decentralized control of local resources for satisfying the network reliability and the power quality required by local loads. The objective in this pap...

Owing to the low cost, high profit and disasterfree, the reliability-oriented evolution method is proposed in this paper. The method improves the reliability of software architecture by analysis contribution degree of component. Because the various components will play different roles in the reliability-oriented evolution of software architecture, the contribution degree of component is first p...

reliability investigation has always been one of the most important issues in power systems planning. the outages rate in power system reflects the fact that more attentions should be paid on reliability indices to supply consumers with uninterrupted power. using reliability indices in economic dispatch problem may lead to the system load demand with high reliability and low probability of powe...

The paper describes the ongoing development of a motion planning system whose aim is to ease the study and development of new planning strategies as well as the benchmarking and comparison of existing ones. The system is implemented using open technologies and exploiting advanced object-oriented programming concepts. It efficiently integrates multiple planning strategies and collision detection...

Microgrids are highlighted as the technology which can help in providing sustainable and efficient electrical energy solutions. They employ distributed resources to efficiently supply local load increase reliability of network. Design planning a pivotal importance yielding all advantages this concept provide. Reliability-oriented design is special interest for microgrids utilizing large share r...

The current study aimed to investigate the contextual factors in formation and maintenance of process-oriented organization and the effect of the identified factors on strategy development of the organization. A questionnaire was designed to measure the research variables in which its validity and reliability was confirmed by factor analysis. The instrument was distributed among 183 managers, o...
