The advent of high-performance computing via many-core processors and distributed processing emphasizes the possibility for exhaustive search by multiple search agents. Despite the occurrence of elegant algorithms for solving complex problems, exhaustive search has retained its significance since many real-life problems exhibit no regular structure and exhaustive search is the only possible solution. Here we analyze the performance of exhaustive search when it is conducted by multiple search agents. Several strategies for joint search with parallel agents are evaluated. We discover that the performance of the search improves with the increase in the level of mutual help between agents. The …


New Design Of Intelligent Load Shedding Algorithm Based On Critical Line Overloads To Reduce Network Cascading Failure Risks, Mehrdad Majidi, Mohammad-Reza Aghamohammadi, Moein Manbachi Jan 2014

New Design Of Intelligent Load Shedding Algorithm Based On Critical Line Overloads To Reduce Network Cascading Failure Risks, Mehrdad Majidi, Mohammad-Reza Aghamohammadi, Moein Manbachi

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper presents a new algorithm for intelligent load shedding based on critical line overloads. This method can increase the efficiency for determining critical lines and sensitive loads. Hence, when critical lines expose an overload, the system will run an intelligent load shedding, which considerably curtails the sensitive loads of critical transmission lines. This can fully reduce the harmful risks of power system cascading failures that impose extensive losses to the economy of a country. For testing the accuracy and applicability of this technique, the IEEE 39-bus test system is applied as a standard case study.

Adaptive Feedback Control For Linear Singular Systems, Azita Azarfar, Heydar Toossian Shandiz, Masoud Shafiee

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

An adaptive state feedback control approach for linear descriptor (or singular) systems is investigated in this paper, which makes the closed-loop dynamics of this class of systems regular, impulse-free, and stable. The proposed adaptive method is based on the Lyapunov theorem to ensure the admissibility of the descriptor system and it also provides the state tracking with the desired reference trajectory. First, a control law is generated to stabilize the equilibrium point of origin, and, after that, the method is extended to a state tracking controller. The presented controller not only gets the stable output tracking asymptotically but is also …


Markovian Approach Applied To Reliability Modeling Of A Wind Farm, Mazaher Hajibashi, Akbar Ebrahimi Jan 2014

Markovian Approach Applied To Reliability Modeling Of A Wind Farm, Mazaher Hajibashi, Akbar Ebrahimi

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The exploitation of wind energy as a resource for generating electricity is going to make a leap forward. Large-scale wind farms (WFs) will be engaged with power systems in the near future and this will cause changes in the supply pattern. Wind speed has an intermittent behavior and the output power of a WF is highly variable, consistent with this fact. The Markov process could consider this characteristic of wind speed using the state transition rate probability matrix, an issue that is neglected when a probability distribution function is established to model the wind speed data. The adequacy indices of …

Statistical Approach For Determining Impulse Breakdown Voltage Distribution Under Dc Sweep Voltage, Mehmet Demi̇r, Celal Koraşli Jan 2014

Statistical Approach For Determining Impulse Breakdown Voltage Distribution Under Dc Sweep Voltage, Mehmet Demi̇r, Celal Koraşli

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper presents a comprehensive approach to the statistical characterization of impulse breakdown voltage under the effect of a DC sweep voltage. Several goodness-of-fit tests are applied to up-and-down test results obtained in the air-insulated rod-plane gap. Three distributions, normal, logistic, and Gumbel, are compared by means of the Kolmogorov--Smirnov goodness-of-fit test, and logistic distribution is also compared to 3-parameter Weibull distributions using the likelihood ratio test. Logistic distribution is found to be a possible alternative to normal and 3-parameter Weibull distributions.
