this paper proposes an optimal power flow (opf) algorithm by direct load control (dlc) programs to optimize the operational cost of smart grids considering various scenarios based on different constraints. the cost function includes active power production cost of available power sources and a novel flexible load curtailment cost associated with dlc programs. the load curtailment cost is based ...

One problem common to all virtualization techniques is the efficient injection of emulation code into the guest operating systems (guest OSs). Emulation is needed to limit the effects of virtualization sensitive instructions to the appropriate virtual machine. For instance, privilege mode changes, processor halting or resetting, and device accesses must be redirected to the executing virtual ma...

In this research, Ride quality of a three-axle truck is investigated to understand its vibration specifications and influence of it on special load. The truck is Benz 2624, and the load is rather sensitive to vibrations. The system is considered for an off-road duty. Hence, the vehicle is modeled as a nineteen-degree of freedom system and its equations of motion are derived by employing Lagrang...

Current microbial methodologies to determine fish quality are laborious and have long time required to obtain results. The impediometric technique as a rapid sensitive method was used to determine the correlation between impedance detection times (IDTs) and conventional reference psychrophilic and mesophilic plate counts of fish in order to develop models for predicting the microbial quality an...

This paper discusses design and simulation of dynamic voltage restorer for improve power quality & reduce the harmonics distortion of sensitive load. Electronics devices are very sensitive load against harmonics. DVR proposed not only to improve PQ but also to reduce HD due to the presence of non-linear load. The DVR consists of injection transformer, filter, ESS, VSI and control system. The ba...

BACKGROUND It remains unclear how hemodynamic overload induces cardiac hypertrophy. Recently, activation of calcium-dependent phosphatase, calcineurin, has been elucidated to induce cardiac hypertrophy. In the present study, we examined the role of calcineurin in load-induced cardiac hypertrophy by using Dahl salt-sensitive (DS) rats, which develop both pressure and volume overload when fed a h...

ower system loads are sensitive to frequency and following system frequency changes the aggregate load change follows the frequency deviation. When a generating unit is tripped or additional load is added to the system, the power mismatch is initially compensated by an extraction of the kinetic energy from the system inertial storage (the spinning masses) that causes a system frequency drop. As...
