Software product to reduce commercial energy losses

Voluntary Contributions to Reduce Expected Public Losses

Analysis of Defect History for a Large Commercial Software Product

The analysis of information from large-scale software development projects has been of considerable use in the formation of theories and models for project management. Of particular relevance is the landmark work of Barry Boehm /1/; extensive use was made of case study data in the development and validation of the COCOMO model for estimation. Other studies worthy of mention include Glass /2/ an...

Reviewing the Impact of FACTS Devices to Reduce Losses and Voltage Profile in the Pool Market

Abstract: In this paper, a generalized Lagrangian-based algorithm (TRALM) and gravitational search algorithm (GSA) are used to solve the Optimal Load Distribution Problem (OPF) in the presence of FACTS equipment. Four TCSC, TCPST UPFC and SVC equipment’s have been tested. Modeling of FACTS equipment is based on power injection method. To optimally manage production, losses and voltage profiles,...

Reconfiguration of distribution systems to improve reliability and reduce power losses using Imperialist Competitive Algorithm

Distribution systems can be operated in multiple configurations since they are possible combinations of radial and loop feeders. Each configuration leads to its own power losses and reliability level of supplying electric energy to customers. In order to obtain the optimal configuration of power networks, their reconfiguration is formulated as a complex optimization problem with different objec...

Animal management to reduce phosphorus losses to the environment.

Water quality in the United States is threatened by contamination with nutrients, primarily nitrogen and phosphorus. Animal manure can be a valuable resource for farmers, providing nutrients, improving soil structure, and increasing vegetative cover to decrease erosion potential. At the same time, application of manure nutrients in excess of crop requirements can result in environmental contami...
