Abstract
The main focus of this paper is to find an upgrade plan for a microgrid. This plan includes system lines' upgrades, the place, and size of the new capacitors and DERs. As usual, the planning process is begun with the load forecasting. The main objectives include minimization of system upgrade cost, loss cost, loss cost in peak load, and finally demand cost. The last objective is realized here using the tap changer of the main station transformer and reactive power support of the sources available or planned for the future of the grid. This is always referred to as the conservation of voltage reduction. In order to consider the effects of bus voltages on the system demand, the ZIP model for...

Abstract
This paper describes our strategies used in the RobocupRescue simulation contest in seattle 2001[3]. we first introduce our powerful communication manager for multi-agent systems which is specially designed to work in difficult, let’s say “Hard-zone”, environment where number of communicated messages are drastically limited and also sensory noises and limited information about the environment are major problems. Also some hints are provided for developing multi-agent systems. Then we introduce our approach for solving some NP-Complete problems faced in the system. © 2002 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg
PSO based fuzzy stochastic long-term model for deployment of distributed energy resources in distribution systems with several objectives

Abstract
This paper presents a particle swarm optimization (PSO) based fuzzy stochastic long term approach for determining optimum location and size of distributed energy resources (DERs). The Monte Carlo simulation method is used to model the uncertainties associated with long-term load forecasting. A proper combination of several objectives is considered in the objective function. Reduction of loss and power purchased from the electricity market, loss reduction in peak load level, and reduction in voltage deviation are simultaneously considered as the objective functions. At first these objectives are fuzzified and designed to be comparable with each other, then they are introduced to a PSO...

Abstract
Abstract: In this paper, a secure and efficient Blind Source Separation (BSS) based cryptosystem is presented. The use of BSS in audio and image cryptography in wireless networks has attracted more attention. A BSS based cryptosystem consists of three main parts: secret data, secret keys, and mixing matrix. In this paper, we propose a new design to create a proper mixing matrix in BSS based cryptosystem. We offer a mathematical criterion to select mixing matrix elements before encryption. The proposed criterion gives a simple way to attach the secret sources to keys, which makes source separation very hard for the adversary. Versus, we show that using the random mixing matrix can lead to...
A modified differential evolution optimization algorithm with random localization for generation of best-guess properties in history matching
, Article Energy Sources, Part A: Recovery, Utilization and Environmental Effects ; Volume 33, Issue 9 , Feb , 2011 , Pages 845-858 ; 15567036 (ISSN) ; Nouri, A ; Pishvaie, M. R ; Bozorgmehri, R ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
Computer aided history matching techniques are increasingly playing a role in reservoir characterization. This article describes the implementation of a differential evolution optimization algorithm to carry out reservoir characterization by conditioning the reservoir simulation model to production data (history matching). We enhanced the differential evolution algorithm and developed the modified differential evolution optimization method with random localization. The proposed technique is simple-structured, robust, and computationally efficient. We also investigated the convergence characteristics of the algorithm in some synthetic oil reservoirs. In addition, the proposed method is...

Abstract
Uncertainties associated with bus loading and components' availability lead to uncertainties in different system variables based on the system physical and economical relationships. Line flows, bus voltages, different prices, and other variables and indices, such as available transfer capacity (ATC), are stochastic and cannot be expressed as a determined quantity. Traditionally, in order to model the stochastic nature of power systems, a stochastic power flow algorithm is used. In this paper, stochastic-algebraic method is applied to find the probability density function (pdf) of ATC. The algorithm linearizes the optimal power flow formulation and uses Gram-Charlier expansion to find the pdf...

Abstract
The objective of this study was to model the extent of improvement in the degradability of phenol dyes by SnO2/Fe3O4 nanoparticles using a photocatalytic reactor. The effect of operative parameters including catalyst concentration, initial dye concentration, stirring intensity, and UV radiation intensity on the photocatalytic batch reactor during removal of phenol red was investigated. Fractional factorial design and response surface methodology were used to design the experiment layout. The SnO2/Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized using the core-shell method. The results of x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy showed the successful synthesis of these nanoparticles. The...

Abstract
Design and construction of multi-agent systems is a challenging but an intriguing problem. It is because of the intrinsic distribution of the intelligent components. In such environments the interaction and communication between the constituent parts extends the complexity since appropriate coordination methods need to be designated and employed. In this paper a successful experiment in designing and implementing such an environment is presented1. The test bed for this research is the rescue simulation environment. The architecture of the implemented heterogeneous agents takes advantage of various algorithms. These algorithms make the agents act intelligently by themselves albeit they happen...
