In this paper, a combinational optimization algorithm is introduced to obtain the best size and location of Static Compensator (STATCOM) in power systems. Its main contribution is considering contingency analysis where lines outages may lead to infeasible solutions especially at peak loads and it commonly can be vanished by load-shedding. The objective of the proposed algorithm is firstly to pr...

The presence of responsive loads in the promising active distribution networks (ADNs) would definitely affect the power system problems such as distributed generations (DGs) studies. Hence, an optimal procedure is proposed herein which takes into account the simultaneous placement of DGs and smart meters (SMs) in ADNs. SMs are taken into consideration for the sake of successful implementing of ...

o bjectives: the aim of the present randomized clinical trial was to evaluate marginal bone loss around two types of implants modified at the neck area: nobel active and nobel replace groovy, both manufactured by nobel biocare. materials and methods: a total of 25 nobel active and 21 nobel replace groovy implants were included in the present study. the implants were placed based on the relevant...

Optimal reactive power flow is an optimization problem with one or more objective of minimizing the active power losses for fixed generation schedule. The control variables are generator bus voltages, transformer tap settings and reactive power output of the compensating devices placed on different bus bars. BiogeographyBased Optimization (BBO) technique has been applied to solve different kind...

In this paper, a D-Q model of fuzzy based unified power flow controller (UPFC) has been proposed to control the active and reactive power flow through the transmission lines. Power loss reduction also intends with the proposed UPFC controller. The UPFC’s shunt and series controllers are developed based on D-Q fuzzy logic (FL) controller, which has been designed in PSCAD environment as an indepe...

The transmission of electricity from the source to load is mainly carried out using a three-phase line [...]

This paper demonstrates an enhancement of power quality in grid integrated systems with the help of the proposed control strategy for voltage source converter based active power filters. The Shunt Active Power filters (SAPF) are extensively utilized in modern grid integrated systems to diminish the power quality concerns associated with it. The SAPF is one of the various power filters, which ha...
