Economic load dispatch (ELD) is an important optimization task in power system. It is the process of allocating generation among the committed units such that the constraints imposed are satisfied and the energy requirements are minimized. There are three criteria in solving the economic load dispatch problem. They are minimizing the total generator operating cost, total emission cost and sched...

This paper proposes a pulsed power generator which consists of two types of switched-capacitor booster modules. A doubling mode module employed to elevate the input voltage to a specified level and, constant mode module is used to increase the elevated voltage into the finally intended bipolar output voltage. Also, the proposed modular structure does not utilize any switches across the load. Ot...

This paper describes the fuzzy modeling of permanent magnet generator for studying its mechanical dynamic analysis. Firstly electromagnetic torque analysis of the generator is carried out using finite element based package. Then fuzzy model of the generator is developed. Performance was evaluated by comparing, integrated fuzzy model, individual fuzzy model and finite element model for the gener...

objective(s): gallium‐68 (ga‐68) is an ideal research and hospital‐based pet radioisotope. currently, the main form of ga‐68 radiopharmaceutical that is being synthesised in‐house is ga‐68 conjugated with dota based derivatives. the development of automated synthesis systems has increased the reliability, reproducibility and safety of radiopharmaceutical productions. here we report on our three...

The Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) problems in power generation systems are to reduce the fuel cost by reducing the total cost for the generation of electric power. This paper presents an efficient Modified Firefly Algorithm (MFA), for solving ELD Problem. The main objective of the problems is to minimize the total fuel cost of the generating units having quadratic cost functions subjected to lim...

As FPGAs increase in size there is a need for improved productivity, and this includes new design flows and tools. System Generator, from Xilinx, is a high-level block-based design tool that offers bit and cycle accurate simulation. In this paper, we discuss the use of System Generator to design a reconfigurable video encryption system. It includes the design of the AES (Advanced Encryption Sys...

The use of the combination of photovoltaic energy source and the wind energy source as a hybrid configuration has become an alternative solution to produce power energy to fed industrial and domestic applications. In order to fully exploit the energy provided by both sources and ensure a very high efficiency it is necessary to oblige the hybrid power system to produce the maximum possible power...

I describe the work of the CEDAR collaboration in developing tools for tuning and validating Monte Carlo event generator programs. The core CEDAR task is to interface the Durham HepData database of experimental measurements to event generator validation tools such as the UCL JetWeb system — this has necessitated the migration of HepData to a new relational database system and a Java-based inter...

Wind power resource development is increasingly becoming the focus of the current research and development in various countries' relevant scientific institutions. To make sure the secure and reliable operation of wind turbine generator, the study develops the wind turbine generator dynamic reliability test system. When the fault of gearbox and spindle occurs, their features of vibration signals...
