This study based on investigation for integration wind power into conventional power system with its impact on fossil fuel generators and their generation management. Wind power as environmental friendly energy source can reduce the operational cost of the system due to considering no cost for energizing the generator in comparing with fossil fuel generators. However due to unpredictable nature...

With the deployment of larger and larger distributed storage systems, data reliability becomes more and more of a concern. In particular, redundancy techniques that may have been appropriate in small-scale storage systems and disk arrays may not be sufficient when applied to larger scale systems. We propose a new mechanism called delayed parity generation with active data replication (DPGADR) t...

The research work done in this paper is directed into two main routes. The first one is evaluating the impact of different conventional and renewable types of generation techniques on distribution systems’ reliability. The second route is developing an appropriate algorithm to model the operation schedules of distributed generators to obtain realistic and applicable reliability analysis for dis...

Self-aligned AIGaAdGaAs Single HBTs were fabricated using different epilayers with identical layer structure and processing technology. These HBTs manifested different long-term reliability characteristics despite their identical device design and similar DC characteristics. The low-frequency noise characterization of these devices revealed generation-recombination centers with activation energ...

To maximize annual power generation and to improve firm power are important but competing goals for hydropower stations. The firm power output is decisive for the installed capacity in design, and represents the reliability of the power generation when the power plant is put into operation. To improve the firm power, the whole generation process needs to be as stable as possible, while the maxi...

A system identification methodology that makes use of data mining techniques to improve the reliability of identification is presented in this paper. An important aspect of the methodology is the generation of a population of candidate models. Indications of the reliability of system identification are obtained through an examination of the characteristics of the population. Data mining techniq...

This paper describes a new methodology based on peak load consideration for reliability evaluation of a generation system. The methodology has been developed using Simpson’s (1/3) rule for loss of load probability (LOLP) evaluation. Load models are considered as straight line and stepped load duration curve for reliability evaluation. The LOLP evaluation is based on peak load consideration. The...
