this paper presents an innovative active power filter design method to simultaneously compensate the current harmonics and reactive power of a nonlinear load. the power filter integrates a passive power filter which is a rl low-pass filter placed in series with the load, and an active power filter which comprises an rl in series with an igbt based voltage source converter. the filter is assumed...

An artificial neural network can be used as an intelligent controller to control non-linear, dynamic system through learning. It can easily accommodate non-linearities and time dependencies. Most common multi-layer feed-forward neural networks have the drawbacks of large number of neurons and hidden layers required to deal with complex problems and require large training time. To overcome these...

Multi agent systems (MAS) are popularly used in practice, however; a few studies have looked at MAS capabilities from the power engineering perspective. This paper presents the results of an investigation concerning the compatibility of MAS capabilities in different power engineering categories. Five MAS capabilities and seven power system categories are established. A framework for applying MA...

In this paper a multi objective optimal power flow (OPF) is obtained by using BAT search algorithm (BAT) with Unified power flow controller (UPFC). UPFC is a voltage source converter type Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) device. It is able to control the voltage magnitudes, voltage angles and line impedances individually or simultaneously. UPFC along with BAT algorithm i...

This paper presents a new control method for a three-phase four-wire Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) to deal with the problems of power quality under distortional and unbalanced load conditions. The proposed control approach is the combination of instantaneous power theory and Synchronous Reference Frame (SRF) theory which is optimized by using a self-tuning filter (STF) and without us...

for an indoor non-directed line of sight optical wireless communication (nlos-owc) system we investigate the optimized lambertian order (olo) of light-emitting diodes (leds). we firstly derive an expression for the olo from a conventional lambertian led model. then, we analyze the indoor multi-cell nlos-owc channel characteristics including the optical power distribution and the multipath time ...

The massive perception data based on efficient analysis and intelligent decision have put forward higher requirements for high-precision time synchronisation with the construction development of smart power grid. However, multi-reference source time-frequency system only selects best method after comparison, which cannot make most use existing resources. It also meet need future system. synthes...

This paper studies optimal power allocation to minimize symbol error rate (SER) of amplify-and-forward cooperative diversity networks. First, we analytically solve optimal power allocation problem to minimize SER for three different scenarios, namely, multi-branch single-relay, single-branch multi-relay and multi-branch multi-relay cooperative diversity networks, all subject to a given total re...
