In this paper, a novel method using Bees Algorithm is proposed to determine the optimal allocation of FACTS devices for maximizing the Available Transfer Capability (ATC) of power transactions between source and sink areas in the deregulated power system. The optimizations are made on three parameters: the location of the devices, their types and their sizes. The FACTS devices are located in or...

Abstract Facts happen at every interaction, but they are not absolute: relative to the systems involved in interaction. Stable facts those whose relativity can effectively be ignored. In this work, we describe how stable emerge a world of and discuss their respective roles connecting quantum theory world. The distinction between resolves difficulties pointed out by no-go theorem Frauchiger Renn...

Geographic regions (henceforth, regions for short) are spatially extended pieces of (near) earth surface that share some aspect of similarity across their extents. The most fundamental aspect of similarity shared within a region is "locational similarity"-proximity. But regions nearly always share common thematic content or activity too. That is, regions are defined not just spatially but accor...

Irrigation water management is crucial for agricultural production and livelihood security in many regions and countries throughout the world. Over the past decades, controversial and conflictladen water-allocation issues among competing municipal, industrial and agricultural interests have raised increasing concerns. Particularly, growing population, varying natural conditions and shrinking wa...

in emerging electric power systems, increased transactions often lead to the situations where the system no longer remains in secure operating region. the flexible ac transmission system (facts) controllers can play an important role in the power system security enhancement. however, due to high capital investment, it is necessary to locate these controllers optimally in the power system. facts...
