this paper presents the hardware simulation (based on vhdl code) of a multiple-fault tolerant cellular genetic algorithm. this study aims to increase the immunity of cellular genetic algorithm in multiple-fault situation. here, multiple-fault refers to the situation that seu (single event upset) occurs simultaneously at two or more bits of the chromosome and fitness registers. the fault model i...

in this paper, in order to increase the efficiency, to reduce the cost and to prevent the failures of wind turbines, which lead to an extensive break down, a robust fault diagnosis system is proposed for v47/660kw wind turbine operated in manjil wind farm, gilan province, iran. according to the acquired data from iran wind turbine industry, common faults of the wind turbine such as sensor fault...

Faults in computer networks may result in millions of dollars in cost. Faults in a network need to be localized and repaired to keep the health of the network. Fault management systems are used to keep today’s complex networks running without significant cost, either by using active techniques or passive techniques. In this paper, we propose a novel approach based on imperialist competitive alg...

This paper is concentrated on the optimization of equivalent reduced networks for power system relaying purposes. For the parameter identification of reduced networks in time domain the EMTP program is applied. Moreover, the sensitiveness criterion has been used for the optimum choice of reduced network parameters. The accurate model is based on the precise representation of the transmission li...

In a gravel pit (SE Vienna basin), metre-thick bedded successions of conglomerate and sand layers of Miocene age are exceptionally well exposed along a W-E-striking wall. The sediments are cut by numerous N-Sstriking, high-angle normal faults. The faults have a marked displacement gradient and offset marker layers of up to several metres. Using ground penetrating radar, we measured ten sections...

1 INTRODUCTION Electric power utilities have sustained significant damage from lightning. The occurrence of line faults is one result of lightning damage. To prevent it, power utilities adopt various measures of protection from lightning. Transmission line overhead ground wires greatly contribute to a decrease in the number of line faults by preventing direct hits to the power lines. Lightning ...

This study presents a novel method of detection of inter turn shorts based on k means clustering technique. In addition to inter turn short detection, the other faults like open, short, phase to phase faults and DC voltage faults are detected through wavelet transforms and k means clustering. Open and short faults are classified using artificial neural network. All other faults are classified u...

This paper proposes an approach to software faults diagnosis in complex fault tolerant systems, encompassing the phases of error detection, fault location, and system recovery. Errors are detected in the first phase, exploiting the operating system support. Faults are identified during the location phase, through a machine learning based approach. Then, the best recovery action is triggered onc...

In this paper, a developed simulation of photovoltaic (PV) station that includes PV module, grid-connected inverter, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) system, and DC link capacitor was discussed. The MPPT uses proportional integral derivative (PID) incremental conductance controller. Due to make it simple control monitor the station, Simulink dashboard is used develop an interface resembles s...
