This with the integration of distributed generation (DG) to meshed distribution systems, the operating time of the protective system becomes a major concern in order to avoid nuisance DG tripping. This paper proposes a new tripping characteristic for directional overcurrent relays (DOCRs) that can achieve a higher possible reduction of overall relays operating time in meshed distribution networ...

Since solar, wind and tidal energies mainly depend upon statistical parameters with respect to changing climate and environment, focus on hybrid generation system design increases the availability of the power generation system. The hybrid system also reduces the dependence on one environment parameter thus providing the consumer with reliable and cheap electricity. Therefore optimal combinatio...

This paper presents a Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) system that can detect and isolate nuclear power plant (NPP) faults occurring in interacting systems. The proposed methodology combines two tools: observer based residual generation and neural network pattern matching into a powerful, hybrid diagnostic system. A computer-based model of a commercial Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) is used as ...

Hybrid automatic repeat request (Hybrid ARQ or HARQ), an extension of ARQ that incorporates forward error correction coding (FEC), is a retransmission scheme with errorcontrol method employed in current communications systems. In standard ARQ, redundant bits are added to data to be transmitted using an error-detecting code, e.g., cyclic redundancy check (CRC). The contribution of HARQ is its ef...

Influence of distributed generation systems in the distribution systems can increase the level of short-circuit current. The effectiveness of distributed generation systems is affected by the size, location, type of distributed generation systems technology, and the methods of connecting to distribution systems. Wind turbine system is the examples of distributed generation source. Not only does...

To date there has not been any report on catan-ionic hybrid lipidic nano-carriers, let alone a report on applying them to deliver insoluble anti-tumor drugs. Catan-ionic hybrid lipidic nano-carriers containing curcumin (CUR-C-HLN) inherit the merits of catan-ionic systems, hybrid lipidic systems and nano-structured carriers (the second-generation substitute of solid lipidic nano-systems). Catan...

This paper presents a rapid prototyping technique that focuses on transition management in hybrid systems. In particular, it integrates hybrid modeling and simulation (for specifying and validating transition strategies) with a generic transition management pattern built on a RealTime CORBA-based platform for reconfigurable control systems. Code generation is performed from the hybrid models to...
