This paper present a conceptual possibilistic approach using fuzzy set theory to manage the uncertainties in the given reliability input date of the practical power system. In this paper, an algorithm is introduced to calculate the possibilstic reliability indices according to the degree of uncertainty in the given data. The probability distribution function can be transformed into an appropriate possibilstic representation using the probability-Possibility Consistency principle(PPCP) algorithm. In this the algorithm, the transformation is performation by making a compromise between the transformation consistency and the human updating experience. Fuzzy classifcation theory is applied to reduced the number of load data. The fuzzy classification method determines the closeness of load data points by assigning them to various clusters and then determening the distance between the clusters. The IEEE-RTS with 32-generating units is used to demonstrate the capability of the proposed algorithm.

A unified framework for statistical inference for the mean of the normal distribution to derive point estimates, confidence intervals and statistical tests is proposed. This optimal design is justified after investigating the basic information and requirements that are possible and impossible to control when specifying practical and statistical requirements. Point estimation is only credible when viewed in the larger context of interval estimation, since the information required for optimal point estimation is unspecifiable. Triple sampling is proposed and justified as a reasonable sampling vehicle to achieve the specifiable requirements within the unified framework.

The problem addressed is that of sequentially estimating the difference between the means of two populations with respect to the squared error loss, where each population distribution is a member of the one-parameter exponential family. A Bayesian approach is adopted in which the population means are estimated by the posterior means at each stage of the sampling process and the prior distributions are not specified but have twice continuously differentiable density functions. The main result determines an asymptotic second-order lower bound, as t → ∞, for the Bayes risk of a sequential procedure that takes M observations from the first population and t - M from the second population, where M is determined according to a sequential design, and t denotes the total number of observations sampled from both populations.

This paper proposes a new approach that converts continuous-valued attributes to categorical-valued ones considering the distribution of target attributes(classes). In this approach, It can be possible to get optimal interval boundaries by considering the distribution of data itself without any requirements of parameters. For each attributes, the distribution of target attributes is projected to one-dimensional space. And this space is clustered according to the criteria like as the density value of each target attributes and the amount of overlapped areas among each density values of target attributes. Clusters which are made in this ways are based on the probabilities that can predict a target attribute of instances. Therefore it has an interval boundaries that minimize a loss of information of original data. An improved performance of proposed discretization method can be validated using C4.5 algorithm and UCI Machine Learning Data Repository data sets.

The objective of the current study is to introduce detailed process for a preliminary combustor design, and to develop a computer code for it. The program includes various empirical and semi-empirical methodologies for diffuser deign, combustor sizing, air distribution, and sub-component design such as primary and secondary zones. Using the developed program, the combustor sizing results are shown from an assumption of simple annual combustor cycle analysis. Two options are employed, 1) pressure loss approach, and 2) velocity assumption approach. Design results show that there are no significant differences in combustor sizing between two design options. Further code improvement is required for performance and emission evaluations of the designed combustor.

A semi-empirical method to determine the electrostatic characteristics of a diode type corona aerosol charger based on ion current measurement and electrostatic charging theory was presented. Results from mathematical model were in agreement with those from experimental investigation of the charger. Current-voltage characteristics, $N_{i}t$ product and charge distribution against aerosol size were obtained. It was shown that the space charge was significant and must be taken into account at high ion number concentration and low flow rate. Additionally, significant particle loss was evident for particles smaller than 20 nm in diameter where their electrical mobility was high. Increase in charging efficiency may be achieved by introducing surrounding sheath flow and applying AC high voltage. Overall, the approach was found to be useful in characterizing the aerosol charger.

This paper presents a new approach for power flow calculation, which minimizes the transmission losses in power systems with the control of voltage magnitudes on P-V nodes. In this approach, the transmission losses are re-distributed to each P-V node, at each iteration, to reduce the effect of slack. The steepest descent method is adopted, in this study, to minimize the transmission losses augmented with penalty functions to account for voltage constraints. IEEE 14 and 30 buses test systems were used for the performance demonstration of the proposed method in this paper. The simulation results showed that the proposed method can reduce transmission losses and improve voltage profiles of power systems.

Consider a Rayleigh distribution with $$pdf\;p(x/{\theta})\;=\;2x{\theta}^{-1}\;{\exp}\;({-x^2}/{\theta})$$ and mean lifetime ${\mu}\;=\;\sqrt{\pi\theta}/2$. We study the two-action problem of testing the hypotheses $H_{0}\;:\;{\mu}{\leq}{\mu}_{0}$ against $H_{1}\;:\;{\mu}\;>\;{\mu}_{0}$ using a linear error loss of ${\mid}{\mu}\;-\;{\mu}_{0}{\mid}$ via the empirical Bayes approach. We construct a monotone empirical Bayes test ${\delta}^{*}_{n}$ and study its associated asymptotic optimality. It is shown that the regret of ${\delta}^{*}_{n}$ converges to zero at a rate $\frac{{\ln}^{2}n}{n}$, where n is the number of past data available when the present testing problem is considered.

A distribution systems loss minimum reconfiguration method by simulated annealing is proposed. The problem is a complex mixed integer programming problem and is very difficult to solve by a mathematical programming approach. Simulated annealing generates feasible solutions randomly and moves among these solutions using a strategy leading to a global minimum with high probabilities. The solution algorithm has been implemented in developed software package and tested on 32-bus system.

This thesis has suggested a method of applying the Maximum Principle of Pontryagin to the optimal control of distributive electrical networks. In general, electrical networks consist of branches, nodes, sources and loads. The effective values of steady state currents and voltages are independent of time but only expressed as the functions of position. Moreover, most of the node voltages and branch currents are not predetermined, that is, initially unknown, and their inherent loop characteristics satisfy only Kirchhoff's current and voltage laws. The Maximum Principle, however, needs the initial fixed values of all state variables for its standand way of application. In spite of this inconsistency this thesis has undertaken to suggest a new approach to the successful solution of the above mentioned networks by introducing scaling factors and a state variable change technique which transform the boundary-value unknown problem into the boundary-value partially fixed and partially free problem. For the examples of applying the method suggested, the control problems for minimizing copper quantity in a distribution line have been solved with voltage drop constraint imposed on. In the case of uniform load distribution it has been shown that the optimal wire diameter of the distribution line is reciprocally proportional to the root of distance. For the same load pattern as above the wire diameter giving the minimum copper loss in the distribution line has been shown to be reciprocally proportional to distance.
