Load-shedding is necessary to prevent phenomena such as voltage collapse and line over load which may lead to cascade outages and then black-out. In this paper, a new optimal load-shedding approach is presented. One of the important specifications of this method is that amount of load shed from each bus is determined. In this research, studies consist of critical single line and generator outage based on contingency ranking. The optimal load-shedding is formulated as a nonlinear optimization problem subject to operation and security constraints, where objective function is the service interruption cost. Finally, the load-shedding problem is also solved by genetic and particle swarm optimization algorithms, in which weighting factors are determined using AHP method. The proposed method is tested on the IEEE 30 bus system, and the results are presented.","PeriodicalId":244464,"journal":{"name":"2008 11th International Conference on Optimization of Electrical and Electronic Equipment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125506096","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}

To investigate the characteristics of this method in 2003 a mobile electroporation device for mash treatment has been built. In 2007 some improvements on this device have been performed in order to solve problems with blocking of the mash and tripping of the residual current protective device (RCD). A re-design of the piping system for the mash including the electroporation reactor and the method of pressure regulation became necessary. As a reason for tripping of the RCD pulse currents in the ground system caused by a switching process could be identified. A delayed switching of a group of devices reduced the energy of this pulse current below the sensitivity threshold of the RCD. The experiments performed during the wine campaign 2007 showed the success of the modifications.

The suitable control scheme for this type of converter necessitates equal voltage sharing for input- series connected modules and output current sharing for the output-parallel connected modules for all operating conditions even with existence of dissimilarity in devices and components used in each module. Such control scheme consisting of several controllers can be implemented using analog controllers. This paper presents a genetic algorithm (GA) which optimizes the parameters of analog controllers for each control loop in the control scheme of an ISOP connected converter. Using GA eliminates the need for tedious and time consuming small signal analysis of multi- module converters. Moreover, because GA chooses the best value for each parameters in different control loops simultaneously it can best consider the interaction among all loops and results in better large signal performance especially in the case of large variations in the parameters or considerable difference among modules of converter.","PeriodicalId":244464,"journal":{"name":"2008 11th International Conference on Optimization of Electrical and Electronic Equipment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133810849","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}
