An Efficacious Multi-Objective Fuzzy Linear Programming Approach for Optimal Power Flow Considering Distributed Generation.

This paper proposes a new formulation for the multi-objective optimal power flow (MOOPF) problem for meshed power networks considering distributed generation. An efficacious multi-objective fuzzy linear programming optimization (MFLP) algorithm is proposed to solve the aforementioned problem with and without considering the distributed generation (DG) effect. A variant combination of objectives is considered for simultaneous optimization, including power loss, voltage stability, and shunt capacitors MVAR reserve.

Model of temperature grating relaxation times in distributed feedback dye lasers.

A theoretical model and its experimental realization for the temperature grating relaxation time constant and its impact on the temporal and the spectral profiles of a Q-switched and modelocked Nd:YAG laser pumped distributed feedback dye laser (DFDL) is reported. Boundary conditions for different types of excitation pulses have been established to predict the effect of temperature phase gratings on laser gain build-up and temporal elongation of the DFDL pulses. The proposed transient grating method is useful in measuring grating relaxation time constants for lasing dye solutions.
