voltage stability may be improved by various control functions. in this paper, it is shown that how high side voltage control (hivc) may be employed for this purpose. two test systems, namely a 22- bus and ieee u8-bus systems are used to demonstrate the proposed tuning strategy for hsvc control parameters.

Our goal is to specify the retinex model as precisely as possible. The core retinex computation is clearly specified in the recent MATLAB implementation; however, there remain several free parameters which introduce significant variability into the model’s predictions. In this paper, we extend previous work on specifying these parameters. In particular, instead of looking for fixed values for t...

Considering the stress cycles in the joints and members due to wave induced forces on offshore platforms, fatigue analysis is therefore one of the most important analyses in the offshore platforms design. Although most of the steel jacket type platforms are designed and located in areas with relatively high ratios of operational sea-states, for maximum environmental events, would have acceptabl...

Self-tuning adaptive control technique has the advantage of being able to track the system operating conditions so that satisfactory control action can always be produced. Self-tuning algorithms can be implemented easily. Because the power systems are usually time varying non-linear systems and their parameters vary, adaptive controllers are very suitable for power systems. Characteristics of a...

Word alignment is the basis of statistical machine translation. GIZA++ is a popular tool for producing word alignments and translation models. It uses a set of parameters that affect the quality of word alignments and translation models. These parameters exist to overcome some problems such as overfitting. This paper addresses the problem of tuning GIZA++ parameter for better translation qualit...

In the design and manufacture of mechanical devices, there are parameters whose values are determined by the manufacturing process in response to errors introduced in the device’s manufacture or operating environment. Such parameters are termed tuning parameters, and are distinct from design parameters which the designer selects values for as a part of the design process. This paper introduces ...

Random Early Detection (RED) [1] is a widely deployed active queue management scheme in packetswitched networks. Although RED can improve packet loss rates, its performance depends severely on the tuning of its operating parameters. To alleviate the problem of parameter dependence, we propose an algorithm to adaptively vary the queue weight wq in conjunction with the maximum packet dropping pro...
