Transient Minimization Within Static Var Compensated Distribution Systems

Voltage Stability Improvement using Static Var Compensator in Power Systems

This paper investigates the effects of Static Var Compensator (SVC) on voltage stability of a power system. The functional structure for SVC built with a Thyristor Controlled Reactor (TCR) and its model are described. The model is based on representing the controller as variable impedance that changes with the firing angle of the TCR. A Power System Computer Aided Design /Electromagnetic Transi...

Motion-compensated Image Reconstruction with Alternating Minimization

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) is important for its use in diagnosing heart disease. Motion artifacts are a significant issue for cardiac CT image reconstruction. Motioncompensated image reconstruction (MCIR) has the potential to overcome the drawbacks of conventional gated reconstruction methods by exploiting all the measurement data and using motion information. However, MCIR methods are co...

Optimal Control Pressure for Leakage Minimization in Water Distribution Systems Using Imperialist Competitive Algorithm

One of the key factors affecting leakage in water distribution systems is network pressure management by putting Pressure Reduce Valves (PRV) in the flow path and optimal regulation of these vales in water networks. This study aimed at investigating optimal pressure management problems so as to minimize leakage in water distribution networks. To do so, an approach was proposed for both optimal ...

Crossing Minimization within Graph Embeddings Crossing Minimization within Graph Embeddings

We propose a novel optimization-based approach to embedding heterogeneous high-dimensional data characterized by a graph. The goal is to create a two-dimensional visualization of the graph structure such that edge-crossings are minimized while preserving proximity relations between nodes. This paper provides a fundamentally new approach for addressing the crossing minimization criteria that exp...

Static Var Compensator ( SVC ) for Offshore Applications

Design of Microcontroller Based Static VAR Compensator

The change in system voltage and frequency with changing load creates problem in power system stability. For the sake of system stability and reliability, the reactive power compensation is essential for flexible AC transmission system (FACTS). The variation of reactive power causes impact on the generating units, lines, circuit breakers, transformers, relays and isolators. However the reactive...
