Biomass, that is carbon neutral and a renewable resource, becomes attractive after the decision of Biomass-Nippon strategy in Japan. We are trying to construct a database concerning utilization of woody biomass. There are many kind of biomass and the conversion technologies are also manifold. Therefore, in this study, biomass-fired power generation was aimed because it has been already substant...

Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices have shown satisfactory performance in alleviating the problems of electrical transmission systems. Optimal FACTS allocation problem, which includes finding optimal type and location of these devices, have been widely studied by researchers for improving variety of power system technical parameters. In this paper, a DIgSILENT-based Discrete Parti...

The England and Wales wholesale electricity market is about to undergo major reform (NETA). I describe and analyse the proposed arrangements, contrasting them with those currently in operation. I argue that while NETA will remove one or two of the Pool’s problems, particularly by eliminating capacity payments, there is no reason to expect that it will significantly improve outcomes. Market powe...

This paper revisits the study of the Slotted ALOHA protocol with J = 2 terminals. Unlike previous approaches, this work employs multi-objective optimization tools. The work is focused on the characterization of the boundary (envelope) or Pareto optimal front curve of different types of trade-off region: the conventional throughput region, sum-throughput vs. fairness, and sum-throughput vs. tran...

in this paper power system model is represented in a new domain that relates to multi-resolution analysis (mra) space. by developing mathematical model of elements in this space using galerkin method, a new alternative method for power system simulation in nonsinusoidal and periodic conditions is developed. the mathematical formulation and characteristics of new proposed space is expressed. als...

Distributed flexible AC- transmission system (D-FACTS) is a recently advanced FACTS device with high flexibility and smaller size. The DPFC can control power flow in transmission lines, regulate bus voltages and it can also enhance stability margin in power grids. Adaptive-neural network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) combines features of artificial neural network and fuzzy controller. Th...

In this paper, we are discussing concept of transmitting power without wires. The various technologies are now evolved for wireless transmission of electricity and the need for a wireless system of energy transmission is being discussed here to find its possibility in actual practices, their advantages, disadvantages and their feasibility. Many theories, research papers, patents are available o...

In this paper, we have presented the concept of cable less transmission i.e. power without the usage of any kind of the electrical conductor or wires. We present an idea discussed here, how energy can be transmitted as microwaves, so as to reduce the transmission and allocation losses, known as Microwave Power transmission (MPT). We have also cited several aspects relating to history of wireles...
