Hybrid AC/DC microgrids facilitate the procedure of DC power connection into the conventional AC power system by developing the distributed generations (DGs) technologies. The conversion processes between AC and DC electrical powers are more convenient by hybrid systems. In this paper, an energy management system (EMS) for a hybrid microgrid network is proposed due to the optimal utilization of...

The present investigation deals with a machine repair problem consisting of cold and warm standby machines. The machines are subject to breakdown and are repaired by the permanent repairman operating under N-policy. There is provision of one additional removable repairman who is called upon when the work load of failed machines crosses a certain threshold level and is removed as soon as the wor...

In this paper controlled electrical drives for Rail Mounted Wide Span Gantry Cranes are analyzed. The modern solution considers the application of frequency converters for all drives. Special attention is payed to multi-motor drives of horizontal movement in the sense of load distribution. Although it can be considered that motors are rigid coupled by mechanical construction, they do not need a...

Task migration and load sharing algorithms are two load balancing strategies that are essential in distributed memory multiprocessor as well as in multicomputer environments. Dynamic load balancing is more suitable in heterogeneous systems. Various load sharing and global centralized algorithms have been proposed in the literature. These algorithms demand careful investigation about their suita...

Unit commitment optimization for the scheduling of units and effective load sharing among thermal units is extensively used in electrical power system planning. The target of unit commitment optimization will be economical when the criteria is to test the best combination of thermal units to serve the load with the optimium load sharing among units satisfying various constraints like load deman...
