in recent years, in iran and other countries the power systems are going to move toward creating a competition structure for selling and buying electrical energy. these changes and the numerous advantages of dgs have made more incentives to use these kinds of generators than before. therefore, it is necessary to study all aspects of dgs, such as size selection and optimal placement and impact o...

Owing to the portability and flexibility of mobile energy storage systems (MESSs), they seem to be a promising solution to improve the resilience of the distribution system (DS). So, this paper presents a rolling optimization mechanism for dispatching MESSs and other resources in microgrids in case of a natural disaster occurrence. The proposed mechanism aims to minimize the total system cost b...

Two pathways regulate planar polarity: the core proteins and the Fat-Dachsous-Four-jointed (Ft-Ds-Fj) system. Morphogens specify complementary expression patterns of Ds and Fj that potentially act as polarizing cues. It has been suggested that Ft-Ds-Fj-mediated cues are weak and that the core proteins amplify them. Another view is that the two pathways act independently to generate and propagat...

Article presents results of study on possibility of increasing the efficiency of drilling directional straight sections of wells using screw downhole motors (SDM) with a combined method of drilling with rotation of drilling string (DS). Goal is to ensure steady-state operation of SDM with simultaneous rotation of DS by reducing the amplitude of oscillations with adjusting the parameters of dril...

Abstract: One of the equipment that can help improve distribution system status today and reduce the cost of fault time is remote control switches (RCS). Finding the optimal location and number of these switches in the distribution system can be modeled with various objective functions as a nonlinear optimization problem to improve system reliability and cost. In this article, a particle swarm ...

This paper proposes differential search (DS) algorithm to solve distribution system reliability optimization problem. Optimum number and location of remote control switch (RCS) have been found, in order to enhance reliability of a radial distribution system. A multi-objective formulation has been considered with a view to enhance reliability at a compromised cost. DS algorithm utilizes the Brow...
