presence of distributed generation (dg) in electric distribution systems provides an attractive new alternative in capacity expansion planning of these systems. in this paper a new model is developed for solving simultaneous placement of hv/mv substations and dg units as a static planning tool. this model aims to minimize fixed and variable costs of planning. constraints related to dgs, substat...

In this paper we present a model predictive control algorithm for scheduling electric vehicle charging. The model accounts for distribution network constraints and seeks to minimize the cost of procuring energy from the real-time market for electric vehicle charging. We present a case study for an IEEE test case distribution system.

In the last few years, integration of renewable distributed generation (RDG) in electrical distribution network (EDN) has become a favorable solution that guarantees and keeps satisfying balance between production consumption energy. this work, various metaheuristic algorithms were implemented to perform validation their efficiency delivering optimal allocation both RDGs based on multiple photo...

The oviduct is an active contractile tube that provides the proper environment for sperm transport, capacitation and survival. Oviductal contractions are regulated by autocrine/paracrine secretion of several factors, such as prostaglandins (PGs) and endothelin-1 (EDN-1). We have previously shown that during the preovulatory stage, sperm are exposed to polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) in the...
