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 ...

In this paper, the nonlinear free vibration of fiber-reinforced lamina micro-switches is investigated, and a sensitivity analysis (SA) is given. The switches are modeled as solid rectangular beams consisting of an isotropic matrix with transversely and longitudinally isotropic reinforcements, incorporating a higher order Hamiltonian approach. An SA of the proposed micro-switch is presented by c...

In this paper we develop a numerical procedure using finite element and augmented Lagrangian meth-ods that simulates electro-mechanical pull-in states of both cantilever and fixed beams in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) switches. We devise the augmented Lagrangian methods for the well-known Euler-Bernoulli beam equation which also takes into consideration of the fringing effect of electr...

This paper proposes a single-phase five-level inverter with a modified pulse width-modulated (PWM)control scheme. The modified pulse width-modulation technique is developed to reduce switching loss.Also, the proposed multilevel inverter can reduce the requirement of power switches compared to aconventional cascaded multilevel inverter. The modes of operation, control signals, and operatingprinc...

The automatization of Multi-Object Tracking becomes a demanding task in real unconstrained scenarios, where the algorithms have to deal with crowds, crossing people, occlusions, disappearances and presence visually similar individuals. In those circumstances, data association between incoming detections their corresponding identities could miss some tracks or produce identity switches. order re...

Modeling and simulation of communication circuits at high frequency are important challenges ahead in the design and construction of these circuits. Knowing the fact that the lumped element model is not valid at high frequency, distributed analysis is presented based on active and passive transmission lines theory. In this paper, a lossy transmission line model of traveling wave switch (TWSW) i...

Scheduling algorithms for input-queued switches have been widely researched. It has been shown that various classes of scheduling algorithms guarantee the stability of single switches. However, recent research has demonstrated that most of these scheduling algorithms do not the guarantee stability for networks of switches. Most of the research that treats networks of switches proposes switching...
