The inability of experts to articulate the knowledge required to solve a problem is, arguably, the greatest challenge to building an expert system. The problem is made worse in situations where the response of the expert ...

Although for many years scientists and engineers have been faced with the problem of optimizing discrete functions, no general analytical method has been proposed for multidimensional discrete optimization. All the methods ...

To design a safe substation grounding grid, it is necessary to compute the split factor for earth fault current and also current distribution in other possible paths. In this paper, a novel, simple and accurate method is ...

This paper presents a new structure to overcome some of the difficulties in axial-flux permanent magnet surface-mounted generators. In the new structure with a non-ferromagnetic holder, the centrifugal force acting on ...

Application of the network equivalent concept for external system representation for power system transient analysis is well known. However, the challenge to utilize an equivalent network, approximated by a rational function, ...

Power system restructuring and deregulation introduces new functions, the so-called open access to transmission network, for transmission system providers. Transmission system operators are dealing with facilitating more ...

This paper presents a valued-based approach to select system enhancement alternatives based on the proposed system well-being analysis technique. The technique is used to rank the various system enhancement alternatives ...
