This paper presents the effect of preload on static and dynamic performance characteristics of several gas-lubricated noncircular journal bearing configurations. The linearized system approach using finite element method is used to obtain both steady state and dynamic characteristics. The results of the investigation shows that preload has a significant effect on frictional power loss and the ...

the performance of different yield loss models from an exponential family was evaluated in safflower-redroot pigweed systems in two field experiments conducted during 2007 and 2008 growing seasons at the research field of agricultural college of shiraz university, iran. the yield loss of safflower was recorded as relative yield loss in experimental plots laid out in split plot design with three...

Abstract Reliability and active power loss are two fundamental parameters in the design and planning of distribution systems that have always attracted the attention of power distribution systems designers and engineers. The improvement of reliability and the reduction of power loss are investigated as the primary objective functions and voltage profile as the secondary objective function. A me...

In this paper, we present a modeling and implementation of new control schemes for an isolated photovoltaic (PV) using a fuzzy logic controller (FLC). The PV system is connected to a load through a DC-DC boost converter. The FLC controller provides the appropriate duty cycle (D) to the DC-DC converter for the PV system to generate maximum power. Using FLC controller block in MATLABTM/Simulink e...

In this paper, a combination of simulated annealing (SA) and intelligent water drops (IWD) algorithm is used to solve the nonlinear/complex problem of simultaneous reconfiguration with optimal allocation (size and location) of wind turbine (WT) as a distributed generation (DG) and dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) as a distributed flexible AC transmission systems (DFACT) unit in a distribution sys...

Electric power is one of the inherent things in the modern world. Recently, the renewable and non-renewable energy based Distributed Generator (DG) units are used for generation of electric power to satisfy the local load of the distribution system. This paper proposes a chaotic artificial bee colony (CABC) algorithm based optimal placement and sizing of various categories of DGs that are simul...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) operates the Marine Observation Network (MON) for NOAA's National Weather Service (NWS). The MON is a network of land and buoy-based automated platforms that collect and report meteorological and oceanographic measurements and transmit these data in near real-time through the NOAA Geostationary Operati...

In this work, the loss (including wire and converter loss) of island three-phase AC microgrid is modeled as a quadratic function current distribution coefficient, that is, concave with equality inequality constraints. On basis optimization principle, optimal coefficient distributed energy unit (DEU) calculated online by double ascent method (DAOM) to minimize loss. It proven multi-variables can...
