In this paper, the state estimation (SE) problem is formulated as a general nonlinear programming problem with equality constraints and boundary limits on the state variables. The objective of this paper is to incorporate the Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) into the SE algorithm. UPFC has the potential to independently control the voltage, active and reactive power flows in the system. In ...

Specialty oils differ in fatty acid, phytosterol and antioxidant content, impacting their benefits for cardiovascular health. The lipid (fatty acid, phytosterol) and antioxidant (total phenolics, radical scavenging capacity) profiles of grapeseed (GSO), corn (CO) and coconut (CNO) oils and their physiological (triacylglycerides, total and HDL-cholesterol and antioxidant capacity (FRAP) in serum...

Levels of power flux-density (pfd) and fractional degradation in performance are presented as thresholds for coordination of frequency assignments for non-geostationary orbit (non-GSO) space station transmitters in the mobile-satellite service MSS and receiving stations in the fixed service (FS) in frequency bands shared between these services in the 1-3 GHz frequency range. In the annexes, the...

In recent years, soft computing methods have generated a large research interest. The synthesis of the fuzzy logic and the evolutionary algorithms is one of these methods. A particular evolutionary algorithm (EA) is differential evolution (DE). As for any EA, DE algorithm also requires parameters tuning to achieve desirable performance. In this paper tuning the perturbation factor vector of DE ...

In this paper we address the problem of multiple odor source localization using mobile robot swarms modelled as network robot systems. These networked robots are used to locate multiple radiation/odor sources like oil spills, leaks in pressurized systems, hazardous plumes/aerosols resulting from nuclear/chemical spills, deepsea hydrothermal vent plumes, fire-origins in forest fires, and hazardo...

Software defect prediction has turned into an expected requirement for organizations to guarantee quality and reliability of software products. The early defect prediction can encourage managers to amend and improve reliability of product. Methodologies, for example, machine learning and neural network have ended up as eminent solution for training and classification of data and can be importan...
