The artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been applied to various hydrologic problems recently. This research demonstrates static neural approach by applying Multilayer perceptrons neural network and Radial basis function neural network to rainfall-runoff modeling for the upper area of Wardha River in India. The model is developed by processing online data over time using static modeling. Meth...

The integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) in the distribution network has plenty of advantages if their allocation and Penetration Level (PL) are done appropriately. Hence, the challenge of finding the best allocation and PL of DERs in large distribution networks is an important but intricate problem. This paper proposes a novel methodology to simultaneously determine the optimal lo...

the application of neural networks to model a laboratory scale inverse fluidized bed reactor has been studied. a radial basis function neural network has been successfully employed for the modeling of the inverse fluidized bed reactor. in the proposed model, the trained neural network represents the kinetics of biological decomposition of organic matters in the reactor. the neural network has b...

 Introduction:The commercial 252Cf sources are too large in size and clinical applications of neutronbrachytherapy (NBT) are limited to a small number of intracavitary treatments of cervical cancers. Recently, under the Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with Isotron Inc., the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) encapsulated a new medical 252Cf sources, cal...

This paper presents a novel approach for optimal reconfiguration of radial distribution systems. Optimal reconfiguration involves the selection of the best set of branches to be opened, one each from each loop, such that the resulting radial distribution system gets the desired performance. In this paper an algorithm is proposed based on simple heuristic rules and identified an effective switch...

Introduction. Distributed generation has played an important role in many aspects of sustainability, such as improving voltage profiles and reducing power losses, the distribution network. Problem. Frequent variation loads causes complications while placing sizing distributed radial network, via quality supply, stability system. Goal paper is to investigate mitigate issues towards stabilizing s...

The limitations of centralized optimization methods for power systems operation have led to the distributed computing paradigm, particularly in distribution systems. existing techniques reported recent literature solving problems are not viable applications. essential drawback remains a large number required communication rounds, i.e., macro-iterations among agents solve one instance problem; t...

The passive power distribution networks are prone to imperfect voltage profile and higher losses, especially at the far end of long feeders. capacitor placement is studied in this article using a novel Mine Blast Algorithm (MBA). improvement reduction net annual cost also considered along with minimizing loss. optimization problem formulated solved two steps.
