The paper describes a new approach of a flexible run-time system for handling dynamic function reconfiguration in fme-grain Virtex FPGAs, whereas the fulfillment of given real-time constraints are central. Moreover, the detailed evaluation and measurement of the power consumption situation during this dynamic reconfiguration process is essential for realistically quantifying the power loss of f...

In deregulated power systems, the transmission loss allocation plays a key role in planning and designing of the power system. In practice, these losses should be allocated to both generators and loads depending on the amount of contribution in the total power system losses. In this paper, a new methodology to optimally allocate the transmission losses to either generators or loads based on the...

This paper presents a hierarchical control strategy for heat and electric power control of a building integrating hybrid renewable power sources including photovoltaic, fuel cell and battery energy storage with Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEV) in smart distribution systems. Because of the controllability of fuel cell power, this power sources plays the main role for providing heat and electric p...

A filtering power divider/power combiner based on half mode substrate integrated waveguide technology for high power applications is proposed. This design includes one half mode substrate integrated waveguide cavity, one matched load, and four sections of quarter-wavelength transmission lines. The high isolation between output ports is obtained by combining the half mode substrate integrated wa...

Power system must be operated in such a way that both real and reactive powers are optimized simultaneously. Reactive powers should be optimized to provide better voltage profile as well as to reduce system losses. The four objectives of minimization of fuel cost, minimization of emission, minimization of losses and increasing stability by minimizing system stability index, these are conflictin...

Due to the increased importance of DFIGs in optimization of real and reactive power losses and the maintenance of voltage profile, the general methods of DG placement and sizing in the existing literature cannot be of practical importance in DFIG .In this paper a pure PSO method used in general DG is compared with a HGAPSO in the siting and sizing of DFIG with the objective of minimizing power ...

One of the most crucial functions in the operation and control of power system is reactive power dispatch (RPD).A hybrid Big Bang–Big Crunch (HBB–BC) optimization algorithm which consists of A Big Bang– Big Crunch algorithm combined with particle swarm optimization (PSO) is proposed in this paper in order to solve optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) problem. The L-index of load buses is base...
