In recent years, the use of renewable energy sources in micro-grids has become an effective means of power decentralization especially in remote areas where the extension of the main power grid is an impediment. Despite the huge deposit of natural resources in Africa, the continent still remains in energy poverty. Majority of the African countries could not meet the electricity demand of their ...

Reduction of maximum demand With the rising cost of electricity, there are large incentives There are three main ways in which maximum demand can to reduce the maximum demand charges incurred at a sugar be reduced; mill. The advantages of good maximum demand control, the power factor correction, control Strategy used to implement Such a system and a dedistributing loads more evenly, scription o...

Moving object environments are characterized by large numbers of objects continuously sending location updates. At times, data arrival rates may spike up, causing the load on the system to exceed its capacity. This may result in increased output latencies, potentially leading to invalid or obsolete answers. Dropping data randomly, the most frequently used approach in the literature for load she...

This paper presents the design of adaptive load-shedding strategy by executing the artificial neural network (ANN) and transient stability analysis for an Industrial cogeneration facility. To prepare the training data set for ANN, the transient stability analysis has been p...

when a distribution network consisting of distributed generations (dgs) is disconnected from upstream network, the system may be exposed to severe power imbalance. in order to prevent the damage of power plants, frequency relays operate and remove dgs from the network. in contrast to traditional methods, the main objective in new methods is to keep dg units in service in the islanded distributi...
