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 ...

The classical minimization of power losses in transmission lines is dominated by artificial intelligence techniques, which do not guarantee global optimum amidst local minima. Revolutionary and evolutionary techniques are encumbered with sophisticated transformations, weaken the techniques. Power loss crucial to efficient design operation lines. Minimization one way meet steady grid supply, esp...

This paper furnish the new Metaheuristic algorithm called Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA) for solving optimal power flow (OPF) problem with minimization of real power generation cost. The CSA is found to be the most efficient algorithm for solving single objective optimal power flow problems. The CSA performance is tested on IEEE 57 bus test system with real power generation cost minimization as ...

In this paper, a dynamic model of Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is developed to improve the power transfer capability (PTC) through the transmission line. Improvement of the bus voltages profiles along with the reduction of total power losses is also intended with UPFC’s presence. The UPFC shunt and series controllers are developed based on Fuzzy Logic (FL) which has been designed as a s...

The efficiency of induction motor drives under variable operating conditions can be improved by predicting the optimum flux that guarantees loss minimization. In this research, a loss-minimization scalar controller, based on determining of modulation index of IGBT inverter-based AC-to-AC converter, which corresponds to optimum flux, is proposed. For this purpose, mathematical models for total p...

Power Doppler imaging (PDI) has been shown to be influenced by the wall filter when assessing arterial stenoses. Real-time 3-D Doppler imaging may likely become a widespread practice in the near future, but how the wall filter could affect PDI during the cardiac cycle has not been investigated. The objective of the study was to demonstrate that the wall filter may produce unexpected major signa...

An algorithm suitable for correction to steering of multiple-charge-state beams in heavy-ion linacs operating at high currents has been developed [1]. It follows a fourdimensional minimization procedure that includes coupling of the transverse beam motions. A major requirement is that it obeys the restricted lattice design imposed by the acceleration of multiple-charge-state heavy-ion beams [2]...
