This technique is modified to allow for the use of fixed capacitor thyristor controlled reactor (FCTCR) for loss reduction and voltage profile improvement for radial distribution feeders. The paper concentrates on the contribution and use of static var compensator (SVC) for the minimization of distribution feeder's losses, rather than using fixed or switched capacitors alone. The SVC can respond continuously to the load variation ensuring a maximum reduction of active losses at all load levels. The proposed method has been tested for two radial distribution feeders available in the literature with superior results. The effect of load variation is also studied and results show that the method leads to reducing losses during different load levels.","PeriodicalId":180043,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering, 2004.

As a case study, this PSO technique is applied to the solution of the economic dispatch (ED) problem of thermal generating units. A piecewise quadratic function is used to represent the fuel cost of each generating unit. The B-coefficient method is used to model the transmission losses. A modification to the standard PSO algorithm is proposed to allow dealing with the power balance equality constraint. Unlike the traditional methods, this modification does not depend on penalizing the infeasible solutions using a pre-defined penalty function. The application of the proposed method to several case studies shows that it is applicable to large networks with multigenerating units including transmission losses with very promising results.","PeriodicalId":180043,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering, 2004.

Then a considerable improvement of the parasitic series resistance on port X is done by proposing a new structure. A reduction of RX by nearly a factor of 10 is observed leading to a notable improvement of the frequency behaviour of the proposed oscillator. As an application example, a current controlled oscillator covering [IOOMHz600MHzI frequency range is proposed.

In this context, the FPGA could offer an efficient technology to realize a pattern classification strategy. A speaker identification system can be implemented using many classification approaches, one of these , the artificial neural network (ANN), which is considered one of the most powerful classification techniques. Implementing a Neural Network on. an FPGA is a challenging task because of the complexity of the required arithmetic operations.
