wind power has been widely considered in recent years as an available and a clean renewable energy source. the cost of wind energy production is currently the main issue, and increasing the size of wind turbines can reduce wind energy production costs. hence, megawatt wind turbines are being rapidly developed in recent years. in this paper, an aerodynamic analysis of the nrel 5mw turbine is car...

Deregulation of power system in recent years has changed static security assessment to the major concerns for which fast and accurate evaluation methodology is needed. Contingencies related to voltage violations and power line overloading have been responsible for power system collapse. This paper presents an enhanced radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) approach for on-line ranking of ...

Determination of the starter torque-speed diagram is a major task in the design or selection of a proper gas turbine starter. In this paper, the maximum power of the MGT-40 gas turbine starter was calculated based on the dynamics of the rotor, start-up logic, and compressor map. In a recent research, the pressure ratio was assumed as a linear function of the rotor speed and the required starter...

Bicycles are known to be rich source of kinetic energy, some of which is available for harvesting during speedy and balanced maneuvers by the user. A conventional dynamo attached to the rim can generate a large amount of output power at an expense of extra energy input from the user. However, when applying energy conversion technology to human powered equipments, it is important to minimize the...

Let P and Q denote the Smarandache cubic product sequences of the first kind and the second kind respectively. In this paper we prove that P contains only one power 9 and Q does not contain any power.

The significant penetration rate of wind turbines in power systems made some challenges in the operation of the systems such as large-scale power fluctuations induced by wind farms. Gas-fired plants with fast starting ability and high ramping can better handle natural uncertainties of wind power compared to other traditional plants. Therefore, the integration of electrical and natural gas syste...

this paper presents a method for damping of low frequency oscillations (lfo) in a power system. the powersystem contains static synchronous series compensators (sssc) which using a chaotic harmony searchalgorithm (chsa), optimizes the lead-lag damping stabilizer. in fact, the main target of this paper isoptimization of selected gains with the time domain-based objective function, which is solve...

let $k$ be a field of characteristic$p>0$, $k[[x]]$, the ring of formal power series over $ k$,$k((x))$, the quotient field of $ k[[x]]$, and $ k(x)$ the fieldof rational functions over $k$. we shall give somecharacterizations of an algebraic function $fin k((x))$ over $k$.let $l$ be a field of characteristic zero. the power series $finl[[x]]$ is called differentially algebraic, if it satisfies...
