Complex power loss minimization is an important aspect of modern distribution systems. Complex power loss minimization leads to capacity reduction with improved voltage profile besides active power loss minimization under certain justified assumptions. This paper presents a simple, efficient and direct method for minimum complex power loss radial feeder reconfiguration in response to changing o...

Applying Rankine cycles to smelter off-gas could increase the required fan power in an order of magnitude equivalent production. Predicting is not straightforward since it affected two contradictory ways: 1) heat recovery exchanger creates additional pressure loss, increasing power; 2) cooling reduces loss handling system downstream cycle, reducing power. The purpose our study analyze effect on...

This paper proposes a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) based technique for the optimal allocation of Distributed Generation (DG) units in the power systems. In this paper our aim is to decide optimal number, type, size and location of DG units for voltage profile improvement and power loss reduction in distribution network. Two types of DGs are considered and the distribution load flow is used...

Due to the increasing interest on renewable sources in recent years, the studies on integration of distributed generation to the power grid have rapidly increased. In order to minimize line losses of power systems, it is crucially important to define the size and location of local generation to be placed. Minimizing the losses in the system would bring two types of saving, in real life, one is ...

background: due to the wholesome benefits of nuts increased consumption of them has been recommended. however, because of nut’s high energy density, the role of them in the treatment of overweight and obesity is vague. this current clinical trial study aims to investigate the effects of a balanced hypocaloric almond-enriched diet (aed) (almond group) in comparison to a balanced hypocaloric nu...

This paper presents an algorithm based on multi-objective approach for network reconfiguration. Multiple objectives are considered for reduction in the system power loss, deviations of the nodes voltage and transformers loading imbalance, while subject to a radial network structure in which all the loads must be energized and no branch current constraint is violated. These three objectives are ...

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 portable generators are the main means of compensating the shortage of national electricity power as in Iraq. However, their noise causes a huge disturbance, uncomforting and loss of concentration of the nearby resident. This problem requires a solution because most shops and residential houses use generators. Covering method is a simple and relatively low cost one for reduction of generato...
