In this study, a new method for designing the damping controller was proposed to improve the transient power system stability in a single machine network connected to an infinite bus. The STATCOM controller problem in a wide area of the system function was considered as an optimization problem with multi-purpose objective function. Also, the Honey Bee Mating Optimization Algorithm was used to d...

In this paper a comprehensive approach is presented to improve power swings damping based on direct Lyapunov method. The approach combines superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) system with static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). Considering the energy absorption/injection ability of SMES, in transient states the combination exchanges both active and reactive powers with power system....

this paper presents a new hybrid method for optimal multi-objective reconfiguration in a distribution feeder in addition to determining the optimal size and location of multiple-distributed generation (dg). the purposes of this research are mitigation of losses, improving the voltage profile and equalizing the feeder load balancing in distribution systems. to reduce the search space, the improv...

The major aim of this article is modeling of nonlinear systems with friction structure that, thismethod is essentially extended based on taylore expansion polynomial. So in this study, thetaylore expansion was extended in the generalized form for the differential equations of the statespaceform. The proposed structure is based on multi independent variables taylore extended.According to the pro...

in this article, a finite horizon, multi product and multi period economic order quantity like seasonal items is considered where demand rate is deterministic and known but variable in each period. the order quantities of items come in batch sizes and the end of the period order quantity and, consequently, demand of customers are zero. in addition, storage space is constrained and the problem ...

In this paper we show mutual relationships between a multi-state system and a family of binary state systems and show some relationships among minimal state vectors of the systems, which give us how to construct the structure function of the multi-state system by using the structure functions of the binary state systems. But the state spaces of multi-state systems are assumed to be totally orde...

A lot of complex sytems (Operation Systems, Database systems, Distributed Systems, Information Systems, etc. ) is possible describe, form the point of view of reliability, like the Multi-State Systems. The Multi-State System is investigated in this paper as an object of reliability analysis. In this case system and its component may experience more than two states of reliability as opposed to t...

b a c k g r o u n d & aim: multi-state models can help better understand the process of chronic diseases such as cancers.  these models  are influenced  by assumptions  like individual  homogeneity.  this study aimed to investigate the effect of lack of individual homogeneity  assumption  in multi-state models. methods & materials: to investigate the effect of lack of individual homogeneity ass...

an important concern in rock mechanics is non-homogeneity as joints or fault. adopting the joints as fractures, fractures are well known for their effects on the mechanical and transport properties of rock. it has been postulated that through fractured/jointed rock, mainly, the polygons turned to the shear vector (ti) are involved in the mobilization of shear resistance. consequently, in order ...

With the aim of tracking the deteriorating process of a specific individual multi-state system consisting of more than one multi-state component, a dynamic reliability assessment method which can utilize systemlevel observation history to dynamically update the reliability function of multi-state degraded systems is developed in this paper. The current and future state probabilities of componen...
