Minimization of power consumption is a critical design goal for wireless-relay networks comprised of battery-powered sensor devices. In the paper, we consider a source-initiated (one-to-all) broadcast scenario in wirelessly-relay sensor networks (WSNs) with a high delivery probability requirement. We analyze both the transmission and the reception power to gain insights into the optimization of...

Transmission network expansion planning (TNEP) is an important component of power system planning that its task is to minimize the network construction and operational cost while satisfying the demand increasing, imposed technical and economic conditions. Up till now, various methods have been presented to solve the static transmission network expansion planning (STNEP) problem. But in all of t...

Uncertainty of system operating conditions is one of the causative reasons which may render to the instability of a transmission system. For that reason, accurate assessment of transmission reliability margin (TRM) is essential to ensure effective power transfer between areas during the occurrence of system uncertainties. The power transfer is also called as the available transfer capability (A...

This letter concerns optimal power transmission line inspection formulated as a proposed generalization of the traveling salesman problem for multi-route one-depot scenario. The is an vehicle with limited travel budget. Therefore, solution can be composed multiple runs to provide full coverage given lines. Besides, indicates how many vehicles perform in single run. solved by Integer Linear Prog...

A new market based approach for transmission expansion planning in deregulated environments is presented in this paper. In this approach, transmission-planning decisions are made based on the electric power market conditions. The main contribution of this research is 1) Introducing a new probabilistic tool for analyzing the electric market conditions, 2) Defining new criteria for ranking transm...

The work includes monitoring the performance of existing transmission systems, planning, design, testing and operational issues of the new projects. The scope of B4 addresses all the relevant target groups in the power industry interested in power electronics. Economic and environmental subjects of this techn...

Communication networks are becoming more essential for our daily lives and critically important for industry and governments. The intense growth in the backbone traffic implies an increment of the power demands of the transmission systems. This power usage might have a significant negative effect on the environment in general. In network planning there are existing planning models focused on Qo...
