Abstract As the proportion of photovoltaic grid-connected systems increases year by year, uncertainty output and load has an increasingly significant impact on stable operation distribution network. In this paper, a access location-capacity optimization method in lines based quantification photovoltaic-load is proposed, propagation PV model parameters network power flow calculation node voltage...

Stochastic programming constitutes a useful tool to address investment problems. This technique represents uncertain input data using a set of scenarios, which should accurately describe the involved uncertainty. In this paper, we propose two alternative methodologies to efficiently generate electric load and wind-power production scenarios, which are used as input data for investment problems....

With the rapid advances in mobile computing technologies and mobile devices, it is an important issue to maximize the number of served tasks for quality of service (QoS) provisioning in a mobile computing environment. One of many potential approaches is based on radio resource management (RRM). However, RRM suffers a problem that the task arrival rate, the task duration and the communication ov...

In structural engineering, a distinction can be made between a structure’s resistance and its stress. A failure may then be defined as the event in which—due to deterioration—the resistance drops below the stress. This paper proposes a method to combine the two stochastic processes of deteriorating resistance and fluctuating load for computing the time-dependent reliability of a structural syst...

An indirect simulation-optimization model framework with enhanced computational efficiency and risk-based decision-making capability was developed to determine optimal total maximum daily load (TMDL) allocation under uncertainty. To convert the traditional direct simulation-optimization model into our indirect equivalent model framework, we proposed a two-step strategy: (1) application of inter...

Mobile Ad-hoc networks are constrained by constantly changing topology, uncertain channel conditions and limited resources. Routing overhead increases with increased number of nodes and increased traffic. Multipath routing is popular technique used to improve the throughput and provide load balancing. To further enhance scalability and to achieve better quality of service ,mobile nodes can be g...

The clinical importance of pulmonary cytomegalovirus (CMV) co-infection in patients with Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) is uncertain. We therefore determined the association of CMV infection with outcomes in non-HIV-infected patients with PCP by assessing CMV viral load and CMV-specific T-cell response.We prospectively enrolled all non-HIV-infected patients with confirmed PCP, over a 2-...

Previous work has demonstrated that balanced scheduling is able to tolerate memory latency more effectively than traditional instruction scheduling algorithms. Traditional list schedulers order instructions based on an optimistic estimate of the load latency imposed by the architecture. Therefore, they cannot respond to variations in load latencies, due to cache hits/misses or congestion in the...
