an approach for assignment of the optimal location and tap changer adjustment related to flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiters with tap changer (tc-flsfcl) is used in this paper by debating the reduction of fault current flowing from each device and enhancement of reliability varying with customer type in a distribution network connected with distribution generation (dg). tc-fls...

This paper proposes a new location problem of competitive facilities, e.g. shops and stores, with uncertain demands in the plane. By representing the demands for facilities as random variables, the location problem is formulated to a stochastic programming problem, and for finding its solution, three deterministic programming problems: expectation maximizing problem, probability maximizing prob...

This chapter examines optimal path finding problems with direction, location and time dependent environments. The dependence of the cost function and path constraints on the location of the mobile agent and time creates the need for a dynamic navigation algorithm, capable of adjusting the path in real-time as more information about the environment becomes available. In addition, the direction-d...

We present a novel adaptive algorithm in the frequency d e main with a low order of arithmetic complexity for simultaneously performing beamforming, source direction finding and array shape calibration. The algorithm is proposed for multiple wideband sources, but could be applied to the narrowband case or to a single wideband source. The source signals are first estimated using a set of beamfor...

254 INTRODUCTION The detection, classification, and geo-location of ground-based signal sources is one of the primary missions of modern military surveillance aircraft. Example signals of interest are the search radar of an enemy missile site, the radio communications between enemy combatants, and the distress radio beacon being transmitted by a downed friendly pilot. The ability to locate such...

This paper describes a method to nd initial estimates of face location in an image where the orientation and viewpoint of the faces are not known. Features such as eyes, nose and mouth are detected from the image using quadrature phase lters and grouped into potential face candidates. AAne invariants are used in grouping to overcome the problem of variation in viewpoint. An eecient searching al...

Proper location of DGs in power systems is important for obtaining their maximum potential benefits. This paper deals with DG for minimizing active power loss and D-statcom for reactive power loss minimization is considered. The proper siting of DG and D-statcom is a recently developed combination with the aim of reducing line loss in a radial distribution system. Loss Sensitivity Factor (LSF) ...

In recent years, significant research efforts have been devoted to the optimal planning of power systems. Substation Expansion Planning (SEP) as a sub-system of power system planning consists of finding the most economical solution with the optimal location and size of future substations and/or feeders to meet the future load demand. The large number of design variables and combination of discr...

Using several spatially separated receivers, nowadays positioning techniques, which are implemented to determine the location of the transmitter, are often required for several important disciplines such as military, security, medical, and commercial applications. In this study, localization is carried out by particle swarm optimization using time difference of arrival. In order to increase the...

Abstract: One of the equipment that can help improve distribution system status today and reduce the cost of fault time is remote control switches (RCS). Finding the optimal location and number of these switches in the distribution system can be modeled with various objective functions as a nonlinear optimization problem to improve system reliability and cost. In this article, a particle swarm ...
