Optimal Reactive Power Flow Solution In Multiterminal Ac-Dc Systems Based On Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm, Faruk Yalçin, Uğur Ari̇foğlu
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Active power loss optimization is one of the important goals in electrical power systems and it is provided by optimal reactive power flow (ORPF). In this study, a new approach for the solution of the ORPF in multiterminal AC-DC systems is proposed. This approach provides 3 main contributions. First, the convergence problem in the AC-DC power flow is solved. Second, the problem of getting stuck in local minima during the optimization process is overcome. Third, a better global optimum point is obtained for the ORPF. Active power loss optimization is implemented through the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm, which is …

Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images support important information about brain diseases for physicians. Morphological alterations in brain tissues indicate the probable existence of a disease in many cases. Proper estimation of these tissues, measuring their sizes, and analyzing their image patterns are parts of the diagnosis process. Therefore, the interpretability and perceptibility level of the MRI image is valuable for physicians. In this paper, a new image contrast enhancement algorithm based on linear combinations is presented. The proposed algorithm is focused on improving the interpretability and perceptibility of the image information. An MRI image is presented to the algorithm, …
