The optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) is a very important problem aspect of power system planning and is a highly nonlinear, non-convex optimization problem because consist of both continuous and discrete control variables. Since the power system has inherent uncertainty, hereby, this paper presents both of the deterministic and stochastic models for ORPD problem in multi objective and sin...

In order to research how to availably reduce the active power loss value in power grid system when the power system is operating, it offers a quantitative research in theory through conceiving the unbalanced losses of power grid system under the overloading bus as the investigative object, and establishing an active power loss mathematical model. It carries out online real-time optimal flow cal...

Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch (ORPD) is a multi-variable problem with nonlinear constraints and continuous/discrete decision variables. Due to the stochastic behavior of loads, the ORPD requires a probabilistic mathematical model. In this paper, Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) is used for modeling of load uncertainties in the ORPD problem. The problem is formulated as a nonlinear constrained mul...

Introduction Rowing performance depends on maximization of mechanical power delivered by the rower(s) and minimization of power losses [1]. Though reductions of power losses may increase the average velocity of a boat, traditional feedback methods lack the accuracy to differentiate between small variations in this power losses. Therefore, we developed a feedback tool to provide real-time feedba...

optimal capacitor placement, considering power system loss reduction, voltage profile improvement, line reactive power decrease and power factor correction, is of particular importance in power system planning and control. the distribution system operator calculates the optimal place, number and capacity of capacitors based on two major purposes: active power loss reduction and return on invest...

GSA; Real power loss; Reactive power planning; FACTS; Optimization Abstract In this paper, Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) is used as optimization method in reactive power planning using FACTS (Flexible AC transmission system) devices. The planning problem is formulated as a single objective optimization problem where the real power loss and bus voltage deviations are minimized under diffe...

—Home networking is becoming an attractive application not only for the Internet access but also for home automation. Being a high-speed and dominant standard presently, HomePlug has an important role in home LAN connecting to the Internet. For industrial applications, the Power Line Communication also has significant advances. However, the PHY/MAC technology provided by HomePlug still cannot b...

due to the increasing interest on renewable sources in recent years, the studies on integration of distributed generation to the power grid have rapidly increased. in order to minimize line losses of power systems, it is crucially important to define the size and location of local generation to be placed. minimizing the losses in the system would bring two types of saving, in real life, one is ...
