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...
متن کاملReasoning about Reliability and Cost using Decision Diagrams and Syntax Trees
Reliability is an increasingly important aspect in the design of systems, especially networks and service offerings. Optimization here is a multi-criteria process finding the right compromise between cost and quality. At the same time, results should be explored online, either as part of interactive, user-centric design tools or for Web based service negotiation. In this paper we consider a gen...
متن کاملUsing Argument Diagrams 1 Using Argument Diagrams to Improve Critical Thinking Skills in Introductory Philosophy
In an experiment involving 139 students in an introductory philosophy course we tested whether students were improving their ability to think critically about arguments and whether using argument diagramming as an analysis aid contributed to this improvement. We determined that the students did develop this skill over the course of the semester. We also determined that the students in one secti...
متن کاملA Novel Approach to Reliability Analysis Using Petri Nets and Ladder Logic Diagrams
In this paper the dynamic modeling of repairable and standby components of complex systems is analyzed using Petri Nets and ladder logic diagrams. The use of Petri Nets as modelling of a complex system avoids two basic disadvantages of Markov chain analysis. First, the Petri Net model does not grow in size as increasing the number of components and second, Markov chain has been limited to the e...
متن کاملReliability Block Diagrams based Analysis: A Survey
Reliability Block Diagrams (RBDs) allow us to model the failure relationships of complex systems and their sub-components and are extensively used for system reliability, availability, dependability and maintainability analyses of many engineering systems. Traditionally, Reliability Block Diagrams (RBD) are analyzed using paper-and-pencil proofs or computer simulations. Recently, formal techniq...
