The optimum penetration of distributed generations into the distribution grid provides several technical and economic benefits. However, computational time required to solve constrained optimization problems increases with increasing network scale may be too long for online implementations. This paper presents a parallel solution multi-objective generation (DG) allocation sizing problem handle ...

Selection of each major type of Reciprocating, Rotary, Centrifugal and axial Compressor is briefly reviewed. It ls explained how the nondimensional scales of Specific Speed and Speclfic Diameter can be used to select any of the above configuration of Compression machinery at its optimum efficiency range. The paper presents the approach of Engineers Constructors in selecting compressors in petro...

Intraspecific variation and trade-off in aerobic and anaerobic traits remain poorly understood in aquatic locomotion. Using gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) and Trinidadian guppy (Poecilia reticulata), both axial swimmers, this study tested four hypotheses: (1) gait transition from steady to unsteady (i.e., burst-assisted) swimming is associated with anaerobic metabolism evidenced as excess p...

By using techniques for precision ophthalmic tinting, individuals who report perceptual distortion of text can often find a colour of illumination that eliminates the distortions and increases reading speed. Most individuals choose green or blue hues, but there is considerable variability. We investigated how specific the colour has to be to obtain optimal reading speed. Individuals who habitua...

Sigmoid surface controller has been proved to be effective in motion control of autonomous underwater vehicles, but it is hard to adjust its control parameters. Improved particle swarm optimization of sigmoid surface controller was proposed in this paper, which solves the problems that particle swarm optimization may be trapped in local optimum and fails to converge to global optimum. Moreover,...

Asso. Prof.,Dept. of Mech. Engg. G.I.E.T, Rajahmundry, A.P, India DGM (Retd.), B.H.E.L, R&D, Balanagar, Hyderabad, A.P, India Abstract Surface roughness, an indicator of surface quality is one of the most specified customer requirements in a machining process. For efficient use of machine tools, optimum cutting parameters (speed, feed and depth of cut) are required. So it is necessary to find a...

This paper presents an approach to the wordlength allocation and optimization problem for linear digital signal processing systems implemented as custom parallel processing units. Two techniques are proposed, one which guarantees an optimum set of wordlengths for each internal variable, and one which is a heuristic approach. Both techniques allow the user to tradeoff implementation area for ari...

In this study, the influence air fuel ratio and injection timing on the engine performance of 4-cylinder direct injection hydrogen fueled engine was investigated. The effect of air fuel ratio (AFR) and engine speed on optimum injection timing is presented. The 4-cylinder direct injection hydrogen engine model was developed utilizing the GTPower commercial software. This model employed one dimen...

The basic ant colony algorithm is easy to fall into local optimum and its convergent speed is slow for solving multiple QoS multicast routing problems. Therefore, a crowding ant colony algorithm is proposed in this paper to solve the problems. Crowded degree in artificial fish swarm algorithm is used to adjust nodes transition strategy dynamically according to the congestion of nodes. Stagnatio...
