A Practical Approach to Optimal Selection of Conductors Planning Radial Distribution Systems for Productivity Improvement[ ]


Selecting the optimum type and size of conductors for planning and optimization of distribution networks is an essential part of the design process. In this paper, a new and efficient algorithm to the optimal selection of conductors of feeder sections of radial distribution networks is proposed. In optimization procedure, cost of conducting material, cost of energy losses, bus voltage profile and current carrying capacity of conductors are considered. The availability of an adequate amount of electricity and its utilization is essential for the growth and development of the country. Development of distribution systems result in higher system losses and poor voltage regulation. This paper presents optimal branch conductor selection of radial distribution systems using intelligent methods for based of CSA and compared with algorithm PSO to minimize the overall cost of annual energy losses and unavailability of conductors in order to improve productivity. Simulations are carried out on 69-bus & 30-bus radial distribution networks optimization methods. Results obtained with the proposed approaches are compared.

Study of heat and mass transport in a temperature dependent viscosity fluid layer under temperature modulation[ ]


In this paper, we study the thermosolutal convection in a horizontal temperature dependant viscous fluid layer. The considered temperature profile consists of two parts: a steady part and a time-dependent periodic part that oscillates with time. A weak nonlinear stability analysis has been performed by using power series expansion in terms of the amplitude of temperature modulation, which is assumed to be small. The Nusselt and Sherwood numbers have been obtained in terms of the amplitude of convection which is governed by the non autonomous Ginzburg-Landau equation derived for the stationary mode of convection. Effects of various parameters such as frequency and amplitude of modulation, Prandtl number, diffusivity ratio and solute Rayleigh number, have been analyzed on heat and mass transfer. It is found that heat and mass transport can be controlled by suitably adjusting the external parameters of the system. It is also found that the thermo-rheological parameter is to destabilize the system.

OPTIMIZATION AND DESIGNING OF PID, FUZZY & PID-FUZZY CONTROLLER[ ]


Measuring the flow of liquid is a critical need in many industrial plants. The aim of this paper is to do the comparative study of conventional PID, fuzzy logic controller and PID-Fuzzy controller in the area of liquid flow control. In this paper, performance analysis of conventional PID, fuzzy logic and PID-Fuzzy has been done by the use of MATLAB and simulink and in the end comparison of various time domain parameter is done to prove that the PID-Fuzzy logic controller has small overshoot and fast response as compared to PID controller. PID controller is the most widely used control strategy in industry. The popularity of PID controller can be attributed partly to their robust performance and partly to their functional simplicity. In this paper, the response of the PID and PD controller is oscillatory which damage the system. But the response of the fuzzy logic controller AND PID-Fuzzy is free from these dangerous oscillation in transient period. Hence the Fuzzy logic and PID-Fuzzy logic controller is better than the conventionally used PID controller.
