Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titlePower Outage, Business Continuity and Businesses' Choices of Power Outage Mitigation MeasuresAli Asgary, Yeganeh Mousavi-JahromiProblem statement: Power outage has been mentioned as one of the most experienced and perceived risks by various types of businesses and organizations. Thus, reducing the impacts of power outage has become a key agenda in business continuity planning. Back-up or stand-by generators are among the most well known measures taken by power consumers to tackle the power outage problem. … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 8 Apr 2011 · 7,678 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsObject Oriented Modeling of Thermostatically Controlled Devices for Cold Load Pick-upAlexandre de Assis Mota, Lia Toledo Moreira Mota, Claudia Cotrim PezzutoProblem statement: During service restoration, the power level at buses can significantly differ from the one presented under steady-state conditions, demanding an amount of electric power significantly higher than the normal load. Hence, their post-outage behavior must be adequately forecasted in order to permit the development of reliable restoration plans, or to avoid inadequate actions that may lead to a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 6,847 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputing Amplify-and-Forward Relay Amplification Factor to Improve Total Capacity at DestinationOlalekan Bello, Hushairi Zen, Al-Khalid Othman, Khairuddin Abdul HamidIn this study, we propose a new Amplify-and-Forward (AF) amplification factor to improve the error performances of the current AF schemes and thus enhance the total capacity at the destination terminal. The proposed scheme has two degrees of freedom, meaning that it contains two variable parameters that can simultaneously vary the amplification factor instead of one as in traditional variable-gain … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 8 · 12 Sep 2015 · 7,095 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImplementation of Line Stability Index for Contingency Analysis and Screening in Power SystemsC. Subramani, Subhransu Sekhar Dash, Vivek Kumar, Harish KiranProblem statement: Estimating the margin in the loadability of the power system is essential in the real time voltage stability assessment. Voltage stability is currently one of the most important research areas in the field of electrical power system. In power system operation unpredictable events is termed as contingency and may be caused by line outage in the system which … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 11 Feb 2012 · 7,132 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Evaluation of Wireless Sensor Network Channel in Agricultural ApplicationNaseer Sabri, S. A. Aljunid, R. B. Ahmad et al.Problem statement: In this study, the behavior of small scale fading channel due to a moving sink node of a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) or moving of surrounding objects is presented. Approach: Specifically, this research introduces the effects of multipath and scattering on the transmitted signal due to mobile sink node within forest or closed field filled of reflectors and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 24 Nov 2011 · 7,096 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReduction of Over Line Current in Power System from Short Circuit Effect Using Static Synchronous Series CompensatorPrechanon KumkratugProblem statement: One of the major problems in power system is the over line current from short circuit effect. It may cause in the electrical apparatus outages. Approach: Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) is a power electronic based device that has the capability of controlling the line current. This study applies the SSSC to decrease the over line current in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2011 · 7,304 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of New Load Shedding Special Protection Schemes for a Double Area Power SystemH. Seyedi, M. Sanaye-PasandIn this paper several Under Frequency Load Shedding (UFLS) schemes are designed as special protection schemes to preserve the integrity of islands, formed following the outage of tie lines connecting two areas in a double area power system. For the purpose of analysis, the Iranian interconnected grid is simulated in a suitable power system analysis software. The grid is connected … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,572 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSchedule Planning for Repairing Power Supply SystemKuo-Wei Lin, Chein-Jen KangProblem statement: Taiwan is located in the tropical ocean areas. The strong typhoon in summer often causes the collapse of electric transmission towers and results in power outages that seriously affect people’s lives and industrial production. Approach: In light of this situation, this study aims to employ project management techniques of Theory of Constraints (TOC) to develop a practical TOC … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 24 Mar 2012 · 7,172 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputer Aided Transient Stability AnalysisNihad M. Al-Rawi, Afaneen Anwar, Ahmed M. Abdul-MajeedA program for handling and improving the transient stability of the Iraqi Super Grid electrical network was developed. The idea was demonstrated by applying it to the outages of the main generating units. The methodology was built upon a state of increasing power transfer through the healthy portion of network during disturbances. There were three parts concerned; the first part … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 6,943 accessesView PDFCite
