in this paper, we present a new method to determine the optimal location and parameter settings of unifiedpower flow controller (upfc) for removing voltage violations and transmission lines overloading. upfc isconsidered as the most powerful member of the facts devices, that it can control shunt and series power flow.this option gives to upfc the power to control the voltage profile and transmi...

Abstract The location selection (LS) problem identifies an optimal site to place a new facility such that its influence on given objects can be maximized. With the proliferation of GPS-enabled mobile devices, LS studies have made progress for moving objects. However, state-of-the-art techniques over assume has no competitor, which is too restrictive and unrealistic real-world business. In this ...

Abstract The facility location of a competing firm in market has great importance supply chain management. two-stage competitive model formulates the decision process an entrant facing both and price competition. In this paper, we incorporated quantity as variable into with objective maximized profit. Sequential mode simultaneous were applied to simulate different behavior. We developed approxi...
