Nature-inspired population-based metaheuristic flower pollination algorithm is proposed in solving load flow forecasting problem in smart distribution grid environment. The efficient approach involves training a feedforward neural network (FNN) with a new flower pollination algorithm (FPA). The idea is to perform short-term load flow forecasting in smart distribution network, thus maintaining system...
This paper investigates wind power potential assessment of Kano, located at North-Western region of Nigeria where the wind is highly variable and energy demand is high. Weibull probability density function is used to analyze Kano wind speed data obtained from Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET). The analysis shows that average monthly wind power density of Kano varies from 213.913 W/m2 to 735.925...
In analytical optical character recognition, effects of noise and overlapping character blocks constitute a major problem to feature extraction algorithms. This problem degrades the performance of the recognition stage. In this approach, an adaptive clustering algorithm and Hamming Distance computation are proposed to aid the extraction and recognition processes. Initially a line is picked from the...
In this paper, an electromagnetic transient model of embedded Distribution Static Compensator (D-STATCOM) and that of Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) are established in a state-of-the-art PSCAD/ETDMC environment. This is aimed at improving reliability and alleviating voltage sags and swell at load point in a distribution network. Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) is used to monitor the Voltage...
