in emerging electric power systems, increased transactions often lead to the situations where the system no longer remains in secure operating region. the flexible ac transmission system (facts) controllers can play an important role in the power system security enhancement. however, due to high capital investment, it is necessary to locate these controllers optimally in the power system. facts...

Review and classification of electric load forecasting (LF) techniques based on artificial neuralnetworks (ANN) is presented. A basic ANNs architectures used in LF reviewed. A wide range of ANNoriented applications for forecasting are given in the literature. These are classified into five groups:(1) ANNs in short-term LF, (2) ANNs in mid-term LF, (3) ANNs in long-term LF, (4) Hybrid ANNs inLF,...

Objective: In this article, a numerical study is conducted on mixing of two fluids in the liquid phase with two different concentrations of a chemical species in the electro-osmotic flow. Methods: The base liquid is an electrolyte which flows in a two-dimensional micro-channel having electrically charged walls. Lorentz electric force, which is used as stimulating flow factor, is created by appl...

transmission network expansion planning (tnep) is an important component of power system planning. itdetermines the characteristics and performance of the future electric power network and influences the powersystem operation directly. different methods have been proposed for the solution of the static transmissionnetwork expansion planning (stnep) problem till now. but in all of them, stnep pr...

Practical application of thermionic space nuclear power systems necessitates the investigation of such systems responses to changes in operation and design parameters as well as load-following characteristics. The principle building block in these systems is the thermionic fuel element (TFE). A Thermionic Transient Analysis Model (TUAM) is developed to simulates transient and steady-state opera...

In this paper, an intelligent control strategy based on combination of the “flatness based control technique” and the “perturbation and observation (P&O) MPPT algorithm” is developed and investigated to control a hybrid electric energy source (HEPS). This EHPS is composed of a fuel cell system (FC) and a solar panel (SP), as the main source and a supercapacitor bank (SC), as the auxiliary sourc...

Load frequency control forms an essential component of Automatic Generation Control, which helps to maintain the power system frequency constant while maintaining the tie-line power flow with neighbouring áreas at scheduled values for an interconnected power system. With deregulation, the structure of electric power industry is changed thoroughly with multiple bilateral transactions taking plac...
