Development Of Hiv Model And Its Simulation, D. K. Chaturvedi, Pritam Singh, S. K. Gaur, D. S. Mishra Dec 2001

Development Of Hiv Model And Its Simulation, D. K. Chaturvedi, Pritam Singh, S. K. Gaur, D. S. Mishra

D. K. Chaturvedi Dr.

The article discusses model developmetn for HIV infected population using the System Dynamics technique. The technique has an advantage over conventional modeling technique as it is dependent more on causal relationships that involve qualitative and quantitative variables to model socioeconomic problems of a complex nature. The model has been simulated and the results haven been compared witht he available data.


Artificial Neural Network Learning Using Improved Genetic Algorithms, D. K. Chaturvedi Nov 2001

Artificial Neural Network Learning Using Improved Genetic Algorithms, D. K. Chaturvedi

D. K. Chaturvedi Dr.

The feedforward back-propagation artificial neural networks (ANN) are widely used to control the various industrial process, for modelling, simulation of systems and forecasting. The backpropagation learning has various drawbacks such as slowness in learning, stuck in local minima, requies functional derivative of aggregation function and thresholding function to minimize error function. Various researchers have suggested a number of improvement in simple back-propagation learning algorithm developed by Widrow and Holf in 1956. In this paper, a program is developed for feedforward artificial neural network with genetic algorithm (GA) as the learning mechanism to overcome some of the disadvantages of back-propagation learning …


Fuzzified Neural Network Approach For Load Forecasting Problems, D. K. Chaturvedi, P. S. Satsangi, P. K. Kalra Mar 2001

Fuzzified Neural Network Approach For Load Forecasting Problems, D. K. Chaturvedi, P. S. Satsangi, P. K. Kalra

D. K. Chaturvedi Dr.

In load forecasting, the operator or the concerned person uses his or her experience and intuitions to obtain a good guess of the load demand. This guess is normally supported by sophisticated mathematical prediction techniques. The short term load not only varies from hour to hour, but is also influenced by the nature of events, load demand, the type of the load considered, seasonal variations, weekend day or holidays, and also by sudden demand and loss of load. Accordingly, it is quite clear that the electrical load-forecasting problem is quite difficult to model with mathematical difference or differential equations. In …


Design Approach To Use Platinum Rtd Sensor In Snow Temperature Measurements, Raman Attri Jan 2001

Design Approach To Use Platinum Rtd Sensor In Snow Temperature Measurements, Raman Attri

Raman K. Attri

The snow temperature measurement is a very critical area of hydrological instrumentation. The measured data is used to assess the run-off water, snow pack strength and snow avalanche. The hydrological and snow avalanche forecast models require that temperature be measured at different points in the snow pack, above the snow pack and below the snow pack. A state-of-the-art multi-point snow temperature measurement system has been designed and developed for this purpose. The type of the temperature sensor used is a critical aspect of this physical parameter instrumentation. After lot of study of various aspects of different temperature sensing elements, the …


Use Of Energy And Power Concepts In The Analysis Of The Inter-Area Mode Phenomenon, Arturo Roman Messina Jan 2001

Use Of Energy And Power Concepts In The Analysis Of The Inter-Area Mode Phenomenon, Arturo Roman Messina

A. R. Messina

This paper presents an energy-based small signal method of analyzing low-frequency inter-area oscillations. A comprehensive framework for the analysis of system oscillations is developed based on the analysis of energy relationships in the linear state representation of the power system. This approach provides insight into the nature of the inter-area phenomenon and can be used in conjunction with modern techniques for spectral analysis of complex power systems. The practical use of the proposed methodology is tested on a complex 46-machine, 190-bus test system. Detailed non-linear time domain simulations and frequency domain studies are finally conducted to check the validity of …
