in this study, the performance of an irreversible regenerative brayton cycle is sought through power maximizations using finite-time thermodynamic concept in finite-size components. optimizations are performed using a genetic algorithm. in order to take into account the finite-time and finite-size concepts in the current problem, a dimensionless mass-flow rate parameter is used to deploy time v...

Hastening the power industry toward smart operation juxtaposed with the unrivaled restructuring and privatization agendas, some of the ubiquitous smart grid advantages are glanced more and more. Recently, the vehicle to grid (V2G) technology, as one of these beneficial aspects, has found a worldwide attention due to its important advantages. The V2G technology can raise the system operation eff...

A new side-contacted field effect diode (S-FED) structure has beenintroduced as a modified S-FED, which is composed of a diode and planar double gateMOSFET. In this paper, drain current of modified and conventional S-FEDs wereinvestigated in on-state and off-state. For the conventional S-FED, the potential barrierheight between the source and the channel is observed to b...

This paper proposes the stochastic tabu search (STS) for improving the measurement scheme for power system state estimation. If the original measured scheme is not observable, the additional measurements with minimum number of measurements are added into the system by STS so that there is no critical measurement pair. The random bit flipping and bit exchanging perturbations are used for generat...

In some decades, the demand for electrical power has increased but the generation and transmission remained limited due to limited resources and environmental restrictions. The increased demand for electrical power has also increased the complexity in the transmission system. It resulted in the form of the question of stability of power system. Here the stability of power system with possible m...

To achieve the highest levels of power reduction, embedded systems must be conceived as low-power devices, since the early stages of the design process. The proposed Model-Based-Development process uses Synchronous Finite State Machines (SFSM) to model the behavior of low-power devices. This methodology is aimed at devices at the lower-end of the complexity spectrum, as long as the device behav...

Resent investigations have shown the very good results of digital systems and circuits optimization using integration of dynamic power management in the design flow. This approach proceed from detection periods of time during which parts of the circuit are not doing useful work and shut them down by either turning off the power supply or the clock signal. In this work, we take this approach to ...
