In this paper we propose a new scheduling policy namely IRD (Intelligence Request Dispatcher) for web switches operating at layer-7 of OSI protocol stack in a web server farm .we classify dynamic and static requests. A hybrid Neuro-Fuzzy and LARD like approach is used to make route decision of dynamic and static requests separately. IRD select server with lower response time in an adaptive disp...

Wind-farms have negative impacts on the environment, mainly through habitat destruction and bird mortality, making it urgent to design predictive tools to use in landscape planning. A frequent assumption of wind-farm assessment studies is that bird distribution and abundance and bird mortality through collision with turbines are closely related. However, previous results are contradictory and q...

Nowadays using of new energies in the form of dispersed resources in the worlds is wide spreading. In this article we will design a dispersed production source in the form of a solar/wind hybrid power plant in order to supply the energy of a residential unit according to a sample load pattern. The aim of aforementioned design is to reduce its costs in a period of 20 years. In order to optimi...

With increasing wind farm integrations, unit commitment (UC) is more difficult to solve because of the intermittent and fluctuation nature of wind power. In this paper, scenario generation and reduction technique is applied to simulate the impacts of its uncertainty on system operation. And then a model of thermal UC problem with wind power integration (UCW) is established. Combination of quant...

In this paper, a method for extracting edges from Imperialistic competition evolutionary algorithm is used. The edges of this method are obtained in two distinct ways: The first method of imperialistic competitive algorithm for optimizing the parameters of a decision threshold. The method is useful to derive the standard Sobel edge operator and improved Sobel operator productivity. The second m...

The multiple traveling salesman problem (MTSP) is a generalization of the famous traveling salesman problem (TSP), where more than one salesman is used in the solution. Although the MTSP is a typical kind of computationally complex combinatorial optimization problem, it can be extended to a wide variety of routing problems. This paper presents an efficient and evolutionary optimization algorith...

Planning of modifications of existing wind farms by adding or replacing turbines makes new demands on wind farm modelling. Emphasis shifts from the calculation of the mean efficiency of the farm to that of individual turbines. Additionally, modelling has to deal with different turbine types and hub heights combined in one farm. Full scale measurements at two wind farms in Northern Germany provi...

The fluctuation of active power output of wind farm has many negative impacts on large-scale wind power integration into power grid. In this paper, flywheel energy storage system (FESS) was connected to AC side of the doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) wind farm to realize smooth control of wind power output. Based on improved wind power prediction algorithm and wind speed-power curve modeli...

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious disease of livestock that has serious consequences on livestock production and trade. In Australia, preparedness and planning includes the development of decision-support tools that would assist priority setting and resource management in the event of an incursion. In this paper we describe an integrated modelling approach using geographic inf...
