allium cepa bulbs were germinated in pots for three days on treatment area on which 380 kv high voltage power lines are passing. ten bulbs were set up for each treatment area (0 m (meter), 10 m, 25 m, 50 m and 100+ m for control from power lines). triticum baeoticum boiss. subsp. baeoticum seeds were collected at same distance from power lines on planted field. ten seeds from each area were ger...

In the United States, the development of biofuels has been presented as a potential way for America to become less dependent on foreign oil, while at the same time reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Both of these potential benefits are appealing, but the feasibility of biofuels, from both scientific and economic perspectives, is still an open question and much debated. In December, President Bu...

the interline power flow controller (ipfc) is a concept of the facts controller for series compensation which can inject a voltage with controllable magnitude and phase angle among multi lines. this paper proposes a novel ipfc-based damping neuro-control scheme using pso for damping oscil la t i o ns in a power system to improve power system stability. the add i tion of a supplementary controll...

In this paper, we present a new method to determine the optimal location and parameter settings of UnifiedPower Flow Controller (UPFC) for removing voltage violations and transmission lines overloading. UPFC isconsidered as the most powerful member of the FACTS devices, that it can control shunt and series power flow.This option gives to UPFC the power to control the voltage profile and transmi...

We give an overview of the Power Line Communications (PLC) technology, its importance, its standards and an overview of the HomePlug standards associated with it. This is done is two parts due to publication constraints. In this part, we will concentrate on the PLC applications and the technical issues regarding it. We will also see the layers and methods that are needed to make it work.

Today, the electricity power system is the most complicated engineering system has ever been made. The integrated power generating stations with power transmission lines has created a network, called complex power network. The reliability estimation of such complex power networks is a very challenging problem, as one cannot find any immediate solution methods in current literature. In this pape...
