sleep deprivation has negative effects on performance and resulted in elevating of mortality risk, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 30 hour sleep deprivation on serum levels of c-reactive protein, blood lactate, muscular strength and physiological factors of rast test in active students. the present study was a semi-experimental on...

This paper discusses the control of flexible microgrids, consisting of a Redox Flow Batteries (RFB) and a new power conditioning system (PCS) for the RFB. Considering the importance of energy storage, this study is essential in power systems that are developed cautiously. RFB is connected to power system by a DC/DC or DC/AC converter to produce a DC voltage. It is very important that this conve...

Introducing distributed generation into a power system can lead to numerous benefits including technical, economic, environmental, etc. To attain these benefits, distributed generators with proper rating should be installed at suitable locations. Given the similar effects of distributed generators and capacitor banks on operation indices of a distribution system, simultaneous assignment of best...

Market power refers to conditions where the providers of a service can consistently charge prices above those that would be established by a competitive market. There are many well known definitions of market power, including indices intended to quantify the degree of market concentration of energy supplies. This paper explores a method by which one of the standard indices in market power analy...

wind energy today, has attracted widespread interest from among a variety of sources of renewable energy in the world. owing to the increasing demand for production of electrical energy for electricity networks by using wind power, it is essential that wind power plants are actively incorporated in the network’s performance using an appropriate control system. in general, these wind power plant...

for multi-objective optimal reactive power dispatch (morpd), a new approach is proposed where simultaneous minimization of the active power transmission loss, the bus voltage deviation and the voltage stability index of a power system are achieved. optimal settings of continuous and discrete control variables (e.g. generator voltages, tap positions of tap changing transformers and the number of...
