Power systems are subjected to small–signal oscillations that can be caused by sudden change in the value of large loads. To avoid the dangers of these oscillations, the Power System Stabilizers (PSSs) are used. When the PSSs can not be effective enough, installation of the Thyristor–based compensators to increase the oscillations damping is a suitable method. In this paper, a Static Synchronou...

The task of speaker diarization is to answer the question "who spoke when?" In this paper, we present different clustering approaches which consist of Evolutionary Computation Algorithms (ECAs) such as Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, and Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm as well as Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO) technique as a new optimizati...

The robust Newton–Raphson method is suggested to solve the power flow equations. Newton power flow algorithms do not automatically minimize objective function such as real power losses. Hence, this paper presents teaching learning based optimization (TLBO) approach to minimize power lossesby the optimal allocation of reactive power sources considering placement and value in restructured power s...

This study provides a teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) path planning method for an autonomous vehicle in cluttered environment, which takes into account smoothness and the possibility of collision with nearby obstacles. The problem is tackled as multiobjective order to plan efficient that allows travel autonomously crowded settings. TLBO algorithm is used find ideal path, goals fin...

Seismic isolation systems exposed to far-fault earthquakes can reduce floor accelerations and story drift ratios acceptable levels. However, they exhibit different structural performances in each earthquake due excitation frequency contents. By optimizing the system parameters, their performance may be maintained at best level under earthquakes. In this study, optimization of parameters nonline...
