The paper presents a modeling framework to analyze some important issues associated with operation planning of a power system. Major activities involved in operations planning of large integrated power systems are considered simultaneously to ensure optimal utilization of generation and transmission capacity. The model also examines optimal transmission expansion plans vis-aÁ -vis fuel supply i...

Manufacturing enterprises are now moving towards open architectures for integrating their activities with those of their suppliers and customers within wide supply chain networks. Traditional knowledge engineering approaches with large scale or very large scale knowledge bases are not suited for such widely distributed systems. Agent-based technology provides a natural way for resolving this pr...

under the smart grid environment, demand response resources (drrs) are introduced as a virtual power plant to enhance power system adequacy. drrs often fail to reduce their load due to some external factors. in this paper, a reliability model of a drr is constructed as multi-state conventional generation units, where the probability, frequency of occurrence, and departure rate of each state can...

In passenger railway optimization one of the main goals is to make efficient plans that can accommodate all passengers or, if that is not possible, that minimize the seat shortages. In the planning process, a railway operator tries to match the demand by first selecting an appropriate timetable followed by a matching rolling stock schedule. We focus on the second stage where a rolling stock sch...

The power system becomes more severe under contingency conditions. In general, the contingencies may be outage of transmission lines or generators. To identify the effect of outages on system security, the contingency analysis is one of the analytical tools. The congestion on a system must be manages using generation rescheduling and with the proper control of the compensation equipments. The t...

Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) are critical, self-configurable wireless networks for communication among vehicles and between vehicles and roadside equipment. VANET communication protocols must ensure safe and efficient communication among all network nodes within the signal range, in the context of high node mobility and rapidly changing network topology. In this paper we carry out a forma...

In production management, efficient scheduling is key towards smooth and balanced production. Scheduling can be well-supported by real-time data acquisition systems, resulting in decisions that rely on actual or predicted status of environment jobs progress. Utilizing advanced monitoring prediction-based rescheduling method proposed react in-process scrap predictions, performed machine learning...

This paper present, a new Velocity Feedback Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization (VFAPSO) algorithm for Congestion Management (CM) using optimal re-scheduling of both real and reactive power generation with capacitor reactive support. The optimal rescheduling of powers in a pool model is formulated as a constrained nonlinear optimization problem. The paper proposes the application of VFAPSO alg...
