Generation expansion planning is one of the major modules of power system planning studies, normally performed for the next 10-30 years. Optimal generation expansion planning is a non-linear and limited optimization problem. ...

This paper presents a long-term dynamic multi-objective model for distributed generation investment. The proposed model optimizes three objectives, namely active losses, costs and environmental emissions and determines the ...

Distribution systems management is becoming an increasingly complicated issue due to the introduction of new technologies, new energy trading strategies and a new deregulated environment. In the new deregulated energy ...

Safety-critical systems such as medical and avionic ones are the systems in which failure to satisfy the user requirements may put man's life and resources in jeopardy. Since the adequate reliability of the software of ...

We present a new and efficient method for identifying the modulation type of a bursty QAM signal in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) in unknown fading channels and with unknown carrier phase. Our approach ...

To determine a safe substation grounding grid in power systems, it is important to compute the split factor for earth fault current including the proximity influences among the grid and the earthing systems of the ...
