in practical situations, distribution network loads are the mixtures of residential, industrial, and commercial types. this paper presents a hybrid optimization algorithm for the optimal placement of shunt capacitor banks in radial distribution networks in the presence of different voltage-dependent load models. the algorithm is based on the combination of genetic algorithm (ga) and binary part...

Bill Pollak: Welcome to the SEI podcast series, a production of the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute. The SEI is a federally funded research and development center at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. A transcript of today’s podcast is posted on the SEI website at sei.cmu.edu/podcasts. My name is Bill Pollak, and today I am pleased to introduce to you Peter F...

In this chapter, we characterize problems for web applications, examine existing testing techniques that are potentially applicable to the web environment, and introduce a strategy for web testing aimed at improving web software reliability by reducing web problems closely identified with web source contents and navigations. Using information about web accesses and related failures extracted fr...

. Periodically conducting a benchmark test with estimated uncertainty is important to improve the quality of resistance predictions and understand influence instrumentation, testing procedures analysis techniques. The LHI-007 Ro-Ro Ferry ship model, made available by Maritime Research Institute Netherlands (MARIN), was used for from 2010 2018 at Indonesian Hydrodynamic Laboratory. Comparisons w...

The nature of electro-optical equipment in various industries and the pursuit of the goal of reducing costs demand high reliability on the part of electro-optical systems. In this respect, reliability improvement could be addressed through a reliability allocation problem. Subsystem reliability must be increased such that the requirements as well as defined requisite functions are ensured in ac...

The objective of this research paper is to study about the software reliability metrics. Reliability is one of the important aspects of any software that cannot be ignored and hard to measure. According to ANSI, “Software Reliability is defined as the probability of failure-free software operation for a specified period of time in a specified environment”. Software Reliability is different from...

in this paper, reconfiguration problem of distribution network has been investigated toimprove reliability and reduce power loss by placement of renewable energy sources; i.e. solarcell and wind turbine. for this, four reliability indices are considered in objective function;which are as follows: system average interruption frequency index (saifi), system averageinterruption duration index (sai...
