A robust defensive strategy for active distribution networks considering multi-uncertainties and island restoration is studied. Firstly, the authors take triple uncertainties into consideration, that is, attack strategy, amount of wind power generation solar irradiation. Next, a trilevel defender-attacker-defender (DAD) two-stage mathematical model established to make full use energy storage su...

An islanding operation of distributed generations (DGs) in emergencies due to a fault distribution systems can be means power supply for important loads outage areas by facilitating the self-sufficient capability DGs forming microgrids. This paper presents an optimization-based intentional scheme derive near-optimal service restoration (SR) plan. The anti-parallel is considered new constraint t...

Survivability is a critical network design issue for optical networks since even a single failure for a short duration may result in huge data loss due to the large capacity of optical fibers. However, few studies have been done on this issue for optical burst switching (OBS) networks. In this paper, we extend our early work on the fast restoration technique for OBS networks and present a novel...

Abstract This paper proposes a new link restoration scheme for optical networks. Our scheme uses dynamic provisioning of bypass routes to effectively utilize bandwidth for restoration. The bypasses are pre-selected but not reserved. Bandwidth is requested in aggregate, resulting in control traffic savings. A unique idea of over-protecting channels on the links for future work savings has been p...

We look to a particular social-ecological system, the restoration community in Rhode Island, USA and the rivers, wetlands, marshes, and estuaries they work to protect, to draw connections between communication, community involvement, and ecological restoration project success. Offering real-world examples drawn from interviews with 27 local, state, federal, and nonprofit restoration managers, w...

This paper introduces a new image restoration method based on a 1-D Kalman ltering. Using the model of tuned channels, the corrupted image is decomposed into a set of perceptual components characterized by diierent orientations and frequencies. The restoration step is then performed on each component in one dimension following the appropriate orientation with the well-known Kalman algorithm. Si...

The loss of ecosystem services due to climate change and coastal development is projected have significant impacts on local economies conservation natural resources. Consequently, there has been an increase in management activities such as living shorelines, oyster reef restoration, marsh beach dune nourishment, revegetation projects. Coastal decisions are complex include challenging trade-offs...

This paper presents the method to solve the over loading problem and service restoration strategies for affected zones due to fault in a three feeder distribution network which deals with the estimation of load changes through feeder reconfiguration using the heuristic search technique. This method is based on minimum number of switching operations and minimum total IR losses. Software has been...

Osteotomy procedures around the knee can alter the biomechanical axis of the knee, thereby shifting the load from one compartment to another. This can be used to unload an arthritic painful compartment or to decrease the weight experienced by a cartilage restoration procedure. Recent clinical and biomechanical studies have emphasized the importance of correcting the weight bearing axis in a car...
