Nowadays, congestion management is one of the major tasks accomplished by system operators to warrant the operation of transmission system within operating limits. This has resulted in unanticipated congestion interfaces in regional transmission systems. The system is, however, unable to evolve at a rate which is required to meet the quickly changing demand of competitive markets. To make the m...

This study investigates the potential impact an ethernet bridge based Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) would have upon network performance. Three operating systems( OpenBSD, FreeBSD and Linux) were used to test three bridges. The impact of these bridges on network performance while running a NIDS Snort in various modes of data capture was evaluated. The results from this study reveal t...

Plexus is a networking architecture that allows applications to achieve high performance with customized protocols. Application-speciic protocols are written in a typesafe language and installed dynamically into the operating system kernel. Because these protocols execute within the kernel, they can access the network interface and other operating system services with low overhead. Protocols im...

Accurate models of Overcurrent (OC) with inverse time relay characteristics play an important role for coordination of power system protection schemes. This paper proposes a new method for modeling OC relays curves. The model is based on fuzzy logic and artificial neural networks. The feed forward multilayer perceptron neural network is used to calculate operating times of OC relays for various...

This paper describes an application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to Load Frequency Control (LFC) of nonlinear power systems. Power systems, such as other industrial processes, have parametric uncertainties that for controller design had to take the uncertainties in to account. For this reason, in the design of LFC controller the idea of robust control theories are being used. To improve ...

increases in incidents involving so-called confused persons have brought attention to the potential costs of recent changes to public mental health (pmh) services in the netherlands. decentralized under the (community) participation act (2014), local governments must find resources to compensate for reduced central funding to such services or “innovate.” but innovation, even when pressure for c...
