Distribution system, with its characteristic features such as radial topology, low voltage level and high ratio of resistance to inductance of lines, possess exclusive specifications. This paper presents a comprehensive study to determine importance of Locational Marginal Price (LMP) in distribution level, known as Distribution Locational Marginal Price (DLMP). Application of DLMP authorize the Distribution System Operator (DSO) to make optimal decisions in network operation as well as network planning. The standard IEEE 33-bus network has been chosen as a suitable case study, where the impact of some technical constraints on DLMP have been numerically analyzed. The obtained results indicate significant change in the market clearing price. In particular, voltage constraint and line flow limitation investigate in the presence of microgrids as a responsive load. In addition, the effect of transformer tap changer and capacitor bank, as a traditional approach in voltage control of distribution systems, has been addressed.","PeriodicalId":161929,"journal":{"name":"2017 Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering (ICEE)","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131431974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model of quarter-car is constructed using linear characteristics of damping and springs. In order to elicit Itô stochastic dynamic of vehicle, parametric perturbations of sprung damping and spring characteristics are taken into account. Furthermore, the road disturbance is considered as a Gaussian white noise process. By using stochastic Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman method, the stochastic optimal linear quadratic regulator controller for active suspension system is designed. Based on the concept of stochastic stability and using extension of Lyapunov method for Itô uncertain models, it is proven that the optimal control law, stochastically stabilizes the active perturbed suspension system. Moreover, it is shown that the well-known linear quadratic Gaussian controller cannot stabilize the perturbed system in certain conditions given by a linear matrix inequality. A simulation study is performed to evaluate the effectiveness of proposed stochastic control approach.","PeriodicalId":161929,"journal":{"name":"2017 Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering (ICEE)","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121531557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition the proposed circuit is based on an open loop architecture and solves the blind-zone and dead zone problems of the conventional circuits. Most PDs have a main problem when the phase difference of two inputs is 180°. In this situation, the loop becomes locked in wrong mode. To solve this problem, a π detection circuit is proposed which, generates an error signal to prevent from locking at π phase difference. SPICE simulation results show that, operational frequency range of proposed PD is 1MHz to 8GHz. The circuit has been designed in 0.18µm CMOS technology.

In the other words the fraction M/N is achieved by a Nested-PLL instead of delta-sigma modulator. Therefore, spurs caused by delta-sigma modulator or pulse swallower is removed.

The first proposed method just uses the first component of MP obtained by FSDA, while the second proposed method uses the whole images provided by all opening and closing filters by reconstruction. The dimensionality of each filtered image is reduced by FSDA. Then, the features are fed to a nearest neighbor classifier. Finally the decision fusion rule is used to find the label of each test face image.
