Linear flux switching motors with simple passive segmented secondary, referred as Segmented Secondary Linear Flux Switching Motors (SSLFSMs), have low cost secondary and therefore are applicable to transportation systems like Maglev. However, it is shown that the SSLFSMs suffer from high thrust ripples. In this paper, minimizing SSLFSM thrust ripples besides maximizing its developed thrust are ...

Distributed energy resources (DERs) including distributed generators (DGs) and controllable loads (CLs) are managed in the form of several microgrids (MGs) in active distributions networks (ADNs) to meet the demand locally. On the other hand, some loads of distribution networks (DNs) can be supplied by retailers which participate in wholesale energy markets. Therefore, there are several decisio...

<span>Image thresholding is a well approved pre-processing methodology and enhancing the image information based on chosen threshold always preferred. This research implements mayfly optimization algorithm (MOA) multi-level-thresholding class of benchmark images dimension 512x512x1. The MOA novel with phases, such as; i) Initialization, ii) Exploration male-mayfly (MM), iii) female-mayfly...
