This paper presents a new and useful methodology for simultaneous allocation of sectionalizer switches and distributed energy resources (DERs) considering both reliability and supply security aspects. The proposed algorithm defines the proper locations of sectionalizer switching devices in radial distribution networks considering the effect of DER units in the presented cost function and other ...

Conventional passive distribution networks are changing to modern active distribution networks which are not radial. Conventional load flow methods should be modified for new distribution networks analysis. In modern distribution networks distributed generation (DG) units are embedded with conventional and/or renewable resources. DG units are generally modeled as PV or PQ nodes which inject ...

We analyzed published measurements of the bronchial circulation and airway wall (Anderson JC, Bernard SL, Luchtel DL, Babb AL, and Hlastala MP. Respir Physiol Neurobiol 132: 329-339, 2002) and determined that the radial distribution of bronchial capillary cross-sectional area was fractal. We limited our analysis to bronchial capillaries, diameter < or =10 mum, that resided between the epithelia...

Deep CCD photometry and positions for a new sample of ≃ 250 dwarf elliptical (dE) galaxies in the Coma cluster core are analyzed. A significant color gradient is detected in their projected radial distribution, given by ∆(B–R)/∆(logRcc) = −0.08± 0.02 mag. Calibrating these dE galaxies against Galactic globular clusters yields a corresponding metallicity gradient which goes as Z ∝ R cc . Simulat...

introduction low dose rate brachytherapy sources have been widely used for interstitial implants in tumor sites, particularly in prostate. dosimetric characteristics of a new irseed 125i brachytherapy source have been determined using the lif thermoluminescent dosimeter (tld) chips. materials and methods dose rate constant, radial dose function, and anisotropy function around the irseed 125i so...

in this research, the spatial distribution of electrical conductivity and ph of springs, ghanats and the base flow concentration places on the streams of central and south-west and central parts of the hamedan-bahar plain were evaluated. using different geostatistical methods such as kriging, minimum curvature, inverse distance, natural neighbor, local polynomial and radial basis functions, 108...

introduction: clinical application of encapsulated radioactive brachytherapy sources has a major role in cancer treatment. in the present research, the effects of different tissue densities on the dose distribution of a 103pd brachytherapy source in a spherical phantom of 50 cm radius have been studied. material and methods: as is well known, absorbed dose in tissue depends to its density, but ...
