Location and Capacity of UPFC to Improve the Operation Power System Using a Grasshopper Optimisation Algorithm
Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is one of the most efficient FACTS devices that can be individually or combinatorial on all effective parameters in the transmission power of the transmission lines. With the flexibility of effective parameters in power passage, the power system operation can be improved. in this study, the optimization algorithm based on location and optimal capacity of UPF...
متن کاملSimple approach for increasing SNR, reducing breast shading and improving fat suppression at 3T
Introduction Due to its exquisite sensitivity, breast MRI is becoming more and more popular for screening high-risk patients and for detecting high-grade ductal carcinoma in situ [1]. While 3T breast imaging yields clear benefits, such as increased SNR, allowing higher temporal or spatial resolution, it also comes with certain drawbacks. Most importantly, complaints about image shading and impr...
متن کاملTransmit B1+ field inhomogeneity and T1 estimation errors in breast DCE-MRI at 3 tesla.
PURPOSE To quantify B1+ variation across the breasts and to evaluate the accuracy of precontrast T1 estimation with and without B1+ variation in breast MRI patients at 3 Tesla (T). MATERIALS AND METHODS B1+ and variable flip angle (VFA) T1 mapping were included in our dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) breast imaging protocol to study a total of 25 patients on a 3.0T GE MR 750 system. We compute...
متن کاملImprovement in B1+-homogeneity of 3T cardiac MRI in swine with dual-source parallel RF excitation
Background Conventional MRI scanners up to a magnetic field strength of 3T use an integrated birdcage quadrature coil to generate a radio frequency (RF) excitation field (B1+). At 3T, Sung et al. observed a flip angle variation ranging from 31 to 66% over the entire left ventricle (LV) in humans as well as a flip-angle distribution from 34° to 63, for a nominal flip angle of 60°. This not only ...
متن کاملA Heuristic Approach to Distributed Generation Source Allocation for Electrical Power Distribution Systems
The recent trends in electrical power distribution system operation and management are aimed at improving system conditions in order to render good service to the customer. The reforms in distribution sector have given major scope for employment of distributed generation (DG) resources which will boost the system performance. This paper proposes a heuristic technique for allocation of distribut...
