Hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) have been introduced to overcome intermittent nature of single-source renewable energy generation. In order to utilize HRES optimally, two issues must be considered: optimal sizing and optimal operation. The first issue has been considered vastly in several articles but the second one needs more attention and work. The performance of hybrid renewable energ...

A novel hybrid genetic algorithm (GA) for jointly optimizing source and channel codes is presented in this paper. The algorithm first uses GA for the coarse search of source and channel codes. An iterative search is then followed for the refinement of the coarse search. The hybrid GA enhances the robustness of the design of source and channel codes. The distributed GA scheme can also be used in...

In this paper a hybrid active DC line conditioner for fluctuations and ripples reduction in voltage and current of DC power systems is proposed. Malfunctions in operation of equipments and systems which are supplied by low quality distribution power systems are one of the main effects of DC voltage ripple. In the proposed configuration a hybrid system including series and shunt active line ...

Single-source binary hybrid multilevel inverters with cascaded transformers have a bulky transformer connected to their main H-bridge cells in each phase. This bulky transformer has been eliminated in this work without any effect on operation and modulation strategies. The proposed topology has significant advantages from view point of dimensions and number of transformers, design of transforme...

A scalable source coder was designed for a hybrid HDTV terrestrial broadcasting system. The hybrid combination of analog and digital methods allows for both high video compression ratios and eecient utilization of the available channel capacity. EEcient channel utilization enables closer receivers to decode high quality video, and allows further receivers to decode natural looking, though lower...
