With the development of restructured power systems and increase of prices in some hours of day and increase fuel price, demand response programs were noticed more by customers. demand response consists of a series of activities that governments or utilities design to change the amount or time of electric energy consumption, to achieve better social welfare or some times for maximizing the benef...

conceptual design of a waste heat recovery cycle is carried out in attempt to enhance the thermal efficiency of a steam power plant. in the recovery system, super-critical an co2 is employed as the working fluid operating in a brayton cycle. low grade heat rejected by the flue gases through the stack is used as the primary heat source, while a secondary heat exchanger utilizes the hot gases lea...

In this article, an effective method to control a power system during emergency conditions is presented. Based on Fuzzy Linear Programming (FLP), a new technique is developed to solve the Load Shedding and Generation Reallocation (LSGR) optimization Problem. The objective function consists of terms of load curtailments and deviations in generation schedules. The constraints are power system var...

this paper presents a new centralized adaptive method under frequency load shedding. sometimes, after initial frequency drop following severe disturbances, although the system frequency returns to its permissible value, however, the system might become unstable due to voltage problems. in this regard, the paper proposes a new centralized adaptive load shedding method to enhance the voltage stab...

The operation planning problem encounters several uncertainties in terms of the power system’s parameters such as load, operating reserve and wind power generation. The modeling of those uncertainties is an important issue in power system operation. The system operators can implement different approaches to manage these uncertainties such as stochastic and fuzzy methods. In this paper, new ...

This paper presents a detailed small-signal and transient analysis of a full bridge PWM DC-DC converter designed for high voltage, high power applications using an average model. The derived model is implemented in a typical system and used to produce the small-signal and transient characteristics of the converter. Results obtained in the analysis of the high voltage and high power design examp...

In this paper, we explore the impacts of utilizing intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS) in a power-splitting based simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (PS-SWIPT) system and compare its performance with the traditional decode and forward relaying system. To analyze a more practical system, it is also assumed that the receiving nodes are subject to decoding cost, and they are on...
