This paper presents the technical performance measurements of biogas premixed charge diesel dual fuelled engine. A 4-stroke research diesel engine was used for the performance analysis. The performance parameters like engine brake power, brake specific fuel consumption, volumetric efficiency and brake thermal efficiency were measured and compared with conventional diesel with different proporti...

An Enhanced genetic algorithm (EGA) which is used to the solution of the optimal load flow (OPF) with both continuous and discrete control variables. The tenuous control variables modeled are unit active power outputs and generator–bus voltage magnitudes while the discrete ones are transformer – tap settings and switchable shunt devices. A number of functional operating constraints, such as bra...

This paper proposes an Optimal Power Flow (OPF) algorithm by Direct Load Control (DLC) programs to optimize the operational cost of smart grids considering various scenarios based on different constraints. The cost function includes active power production cost of available power sources and a novel flexible load curtailment cost associated with DLC programs. The load curtailment cost is based ...

The ill-conditioned load flow algorithm is important to power plan and analysis on security, stability in power system. The new ill-conditioned load flow algorithm based on node lopsided powers is proposed by transforming power flow equations to non-linear programming. It has the all-right astringency arose from the beginning value and no feasible solution in the power flow calculating progress...

Load flow is a very significant and essential tool for the analysis of any power system and is used in the operational as well as development stages. In this work, a modified load flow method is formulated for radial distribution systems. The topological characteristics of distribution systems are employed to make proposed load flow solution possible. The proposed method makes use of two matric...

The load balancer is a fundamental building block for implementing high-throughput applications on multi-core architectures (e.g., network processors). In this paper, we consider two canonical load balancing schemes in the context of packet processing systems: (1) packet-level load balancing that determines the mapping of a packet to processor independently for each packet; and (2) flow-level l...
