IMPROVED PSO BASED AUTOMATIC GENERATION CONTROL OF MULTI-SOURCE NONLINEAR POWER SYSTEMS INTERCONNECTED BY AC/DC LINKS

Improved PSO based automatic generation control of multi-source nonlinear power systems interconnected by AC/DC links

This paper presents the automatic generation control of two unequal areas with diverse power generation sources like thermal, hydro, wind and diesel power plants.Three evolutionary optimization techniques named Bacteria Foraging algorithm, Particle swarm optimization (PSO) elliot pecan tree for sale and Improved PSO (IPSO) have been applied to tune

Development of a small autonomous pipe inspection robot (Modularization of hardware using the technique of wooden mosaic work)

Since 1965, the number of cities constructing and operating sewerage systems had been on the rise, with waterway overhaul now prevalent in many parts of Japan.However, as the number of facilities under management has increased, their decrepitness has become obvious.The average service life of sewer pipe has been determined to be 50 years, but in re

Community-directed vector control to supplement mass drug distribution for onchocerciasis elimination in the Madi mid-North focus of Northern Uganda.

BACKGROUND:Onchocerciasis a neglected tropical disease that historically has been a major cause of morbidity and an obstacle to economic development in the developing world.It is caused by infection with Onchocerca volvulus, which is transmitted by black flies of the genus Simulium.The discovery of the potent effect of Mectizan (ivermectin) on O.vo

Changing the Chevreul illusion by a background luminance ramp: lateral inhibition fails at its traditional stronghold--a psychophysical refutation.

The Chevreul illusion is a well-known 19(th) century brightness illusion, comprising adjacent homogeneous grey bands of different luminance, which are perceived as inhomogeneous.It is generally explained by lateral inhibition, according to which brighter areas projected to the here retina inhibit the sensitivity of neighbouring retinal areas.Latera
