Saving energy through the minimization of power losses in a distribution system is key activity for efficient operation. Distributed Generation (DG) one most approaches to minimize losses. With increase installation Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCSs) Electrical Vehicles (EVs) larger scale, optimal planning EVCSs becomes major challenge operator. increased EV load penetration electricity...

Heron is a platform for object-oriented distributed computing in an open systems environment. We try to achieve a degree of distribution transparency previously known only from special distributed programming systems, while at the same time accommodating heterogeneous, autonomous computer systems. Distributed programs are written in Eiiel. The Eiiel language system is not modiied; Heron employs...

In order to decouple traditional levitation windings and armature windings, a new selfdecoupling magnetic levitation generator (SDMLG) is proposed for wind turbines. This new generator adopts double-stator structure. The armature windings are in the outer stator, and the levitation windings are in the inner stator. The rotor is made of a distributed hollow structure, so that it can effectively ...

The classical blackboard model employs a number of relaxations of team decision theory that are commonly organized into three panels of AI heuristics, including: 1) a shared information panel that offers a capability for ensuring agent knowledge sharing, 2) a contract formalism for the agent and event scheduling, coordinating, and control panel, and 3) a blackboard panel for metalevel planning ...

This thesis presents a method of detecting electrical islands in low voltage distributed generator networks by measuring negative sequence impedance differences between islanded and utility connections. Extensive testing was conducted on a commercial building and 25 kV distributed generator fed network by measuring naturally occurring and artificially injected negative sequence components. Simi...

We have built a biologically and neurally inspired autonomous mobile robotic worm. The main aim of the project is to demonstrate elegant motion on a robot with a large number of degrees of freedom (DOFs) under the control of a simple distributed neural system as found in many animals’ spinal cord. Our robot consists of individually controlled segments that exhibit Central-Pattern-Generator (CPG...

This paper presents a method for the optimal location and sizing of generator in Distributed generation in distribution systems. In this paper, our aim would be optimal distributed generation location and size for Power loss reduction in distribution network. In this paper, Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used for determine optimal location and size for placement distributed generators which referrin...

A multi-site weather generator has been developed using the concept of spatial autocorrelation. The multi-site generation approach reproduces the spatial autocorrelations observed between a set of weather stations as well as the correlations between each pair of stations. Its performance has been assessed in two previous studies using both precipitation and temperature data. The main objective ...

Up till now, the high penetration of intermittent distributed generation (DG) has posed great challenges to the planning and operation of the grid. To achieve the best balance between economic cost and acceptable capacity of DG, this paper proposes a new integrated planning method of the active distribution network while considering voltage control cost. Firstly, characteristics of decentralize...
