voltage control is one of the imperative issues in the smart distribution control system. while traditional distribution network is equipped with communication and monitoring equipment, the online voltage control can be perfectly achieved. with using these smart grid technologies, the distribution voltage control schemes should carry out intelligently and cover the undesirable effect of high pe...

guiding vehicles to their destination under dynamic traffic conditions is an important topic in the field of intelligent transportation systems (its). nowadays, many complex systems can be controlled by using multi agent systems. adaptation with the current condition is an important feature of the agents. in this research, formulation of dynamic guidance for vehicles has been investigated based...

Monitoring, Analysing and Predicting Network Performance in Grids by Yehia El-khatib M.Sc., Lancaster University, 2006 B.Sc., Alexandria University, 2002 Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2011 School of Computing and Communications Lancaster University The grid computing paradigm has facilitated the instrumentation of complex, highly-demanding collaborative appli...

rapid urban growth is resulting into increase in travel demand and private vehicle ownership in urban areas. in the present scenario the existing infrastructure has failed to match the demand that leads to traffic congestion, vehicular pollution and accidents. with traffic congestion augmentation on the road, delay of commuters has increased and reliability of road network has decreased. four s...

This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 14181 “Multi-agent systems and their role in future energy grids”. A number of recent events (e. g. Fukushima, Japan, and the largest blackout in history, India) have once again increased global attention on climate change and resource depletion. The evaluation of the feasibility of current approaches for future energy gener...

This chapter presents a brief overview of Grid concepts, architecture, and technology, especially as they relate to Grid networks. Because many excellent explications of Grids have been published previously, including seminal descriptions and definitions [1–3], only a few basic concepts are discussed here. This chapter also introduces the theme of extending Grid architectural principles to inco...

Isolated electrical systems lack electrical interconnection to other networks and are usually placed in geographically isolated areas—mainly islands or locations in developing countries. Until recently, only diesel generators were able to assure a safe and reliable supply in exchange for very high costs for fuel transportation and system operation. Transmission system operators (TSOs) are incre...

Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are one of the most promising technologies for decarbonizing transportation sector towards global Net-zero target. However, charging/discharging PEVs impacts electricity network’s stability, increases operating costs, and affects voltage profile. This paper proposes a flexible multi-objective optimization approach to evaluate deploy vehicle-to-grid grid-to-vehic...

In these days, remotely sensed imagery has been widely used for GIS-T (Geographic Information Systems for Transportation). As for this approach, topological measure and spatial metrics of transportation network structure such as road layer can be considered as one of important factors in urban transportation analysis. Related to this measure, it is known that the connectivity such as alpha inde...
