Journal of Operation and Automation in Power Engineering, Volume:13 Issue: 3, Autumn 2025, PP 196 -205Nowadays, with the detrimental impacts of air pollution on human health and its significant societal expenses, it has been imperative to utilize renewable energy sources (RESs) and energy storage systems (ESSs). This study introduces a new objective function aimed at achieving a long-term optimal plan where it contrasts the outcomes of meeting network load demand with and without the integration of renewable/non-renewable distributed energy resources (DERs). The analysis considers installation and operational costs, addressing uncertainties through Monte-Carlo and scenario-based methodologies. The proposed problem is structured as a convex optimization model. Simulations are conducted on the IEEE 33-bus system, showcasing the model’s efficacy through cost efficiency and reduced emission expenses. The study confirms that the investment in renewable energy resources and ESS units can be recouped in less than five years. It was observed that in the long-term, there is a cost reduction of 29.4\% when DER units are incorporated. Also, the emission cost for the horizon year is diminished by 43.2\% compared to the case where the DERs are absent.Keywords: Distribution System Planning, Renewable Energy Sources, Energy Storage Systems, Uncertainty, Convex Optimization

Journal of Operation and Automation in Power Engineering, Volume:13 Issue: 3, Autumn 2025, PP 248 -254Changes in the electric supply can significantly affect electronic devices since they are very sensitive. Due to a nonlinear system with multiple interconnected and unpredictable demands in the smart grid, the electricity system is facing several issues, including power quality, reactive power management, and voltage drop. To address these problems, a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is frequently used to compensate and correct the voltage level at the power bus voltage. In this study, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and GWO based controlled STATCOM has been developed to replace the traditional PI based controller and enhance the overall STATCOM performance. The ANN controller is preferred due to its simplicity, adaptability, resilience, and ability to consider the non-linearities of the power grid. To train the classifier offline, data from the PI controller was utilized. The MATLAB/Simulink software was employed to assess the effectiveness of STATCOM on a 25 Km transmission line during increased load and three faults. The combined results of the PI and ANN controllers indicate that the ANN controller significantly improves STATCOM efficiency under different operating conditions. Moreover, the ANN controller outperforms the traditional PI controller in terms of results.Keywords: STATCOM, ANN, Smart Grid, Grey Wolf

Journal of Operation and Automation in Power Engineering, Volume:13 Issue: 2, Summer 2025, PP 121 -126The widespread adoption of microgrids in electric power systems has brought numerous advantages such as decentralized control, reliability, cost-effectiveness, and environmental benefits. However, one of the most critical challenges faced by islanded microgrids is ensuring frequency and voltage stability. This paper addresses these stability issues that arise when microgrids operate independently, disconnected from the main network through the point of common coupling (PCC). These microgrids rely on renewable resources like photovoltaic (PV) systems, wind turbines, and energy storage systems, which often require DC to AC conversion through inverters to simulate synchronous generators. To overcome the frequency and voltage stability challenges, this research utilizes the droop control technique to regulate the active and reactive power of distribution generators (DGs). The droop control technique is implemented and simulated using MATLAB software, specifically employing a multi-DC bus-based inverter. The simulation results demonstrate that the DGs successfully supply the required total power to meet load demands while maintaining frequency and voltage stability. Through the droop control technique, active and reactive power sharing is achieved, ensuring stability at nominal values. The DGs can effectively maintain a constant power profile at desired values, even in the presence of static and dynamic loads.Keywords: Droop Control Technique, Frequency, Voltage Stability, Microgrid, Multi-DC Bus-Based Inverter

Journal of Operation and Automation in Power Engineering, Volume:13 Issue: 2, Summer 2025, PP 110 -120Microgrid operators (MGOs) try to restore as much demand as possible when they are faced with electrical power outages corre-sponding to extreme events. This work suggests an outage management strategy (OMS) to improve microgrid resilience by using two optimal actions that are distribution feeder reconfiguration (DFR) and scheduling of the distributed energy resources (DERs). Later happening a line fault, the radial network topology is determined by the proposed model using an evaluation of the inci-dence matrix. The presented work handles the uncertain behavior of non-dispatchable DERs and the electrical loads which model by the robust optimization approach. To expand the flexibility of the proposed model, the demand response program (DRP) is treated as the curtailed demand. The aim of optimization is the minimization of the total cost for dispatchable DER operation and electrical load decrease. The recommended robust linear problem (RLP) model is simulated by the CPLEX solver in GAMS software. Applying the suggested model in the 69-bus unbalanced test system demonstrate that the proposed model averagely decreases total operation cost and execution time by 10.62% and 22.23% on all scenarios in comparison with the de-terministic model.Keywords: Distributed Energy Resource, Distribution Feeder Reconfiguration, Resilience, Robust Optimization, Outage Management Strategy

Journal of Operation and Automation in Power Engineering, Volume:13 Issue: 2, Summer 2025, PP 174 -183Conventional overcurrent protection schemes may not be sufficient to provide the complete protection of microgrids, especially in the islanded mode (ISM) of operation. Directional overcurrent relays (DOCRs) in microgrid may malfunction due to significant changes in fault current level and change in topology from grid-connected mode (GCM) to ISM. The novel contribution of this study is to determine the optimal settings of time-voltage-current-based dual-setting DOCRs with mixed inverse characteristics, valid in both GCM and ISM, without any miscoordination of relay pairs. The relay coordination problem is formulated as a mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problem and optimally solved using an improved environmental adaption method (IEAM). The proposed relay coordination scheme has been tested on a 7-bus microgrid, the low-voltage section of the modified IEEE-14 bus benchmark system. The performance of the proposed protection scheme has been compared with the existing schemes, considering conventional DOCRs, time-voltage-current-based DOCRs, and dual-setting DOCRs.Keywords: Microgrid, Distributed Generator, Dual-Setting Docrs, Protection Coordination, IEAM

To meet the system's requirements, optimal design of high-performance antenna arrays is essential. Therefore, this paper proposes the design and performance analysis of metamaterial-inspired millimeter-wave antenna arrays in single, 2x1, and 4x1 configurations. The antenna elements, operating at a center frequency of 38 GHz, are designed using Rogers 5880 as the substrate material with a dielectric constant of 2.2 and a thickness of 0.35 mm. In the simulated design of the single, 2x1, and 4x1 arrays, the return loss, bandwidth, gain, voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), and total efficiency are -82.95 dB, -67.1 dB, -69.12 dB; 1.971 GHz, 2.278 GHz, 4.704 GHz; 7.36 dB, 9.11 dB, 11.4 dB; 1.001432, 1.0009, 1.0007; and 95.55%, 94.01%, 95.87%, respectively. Compared to previous works, considering the impact of metamaterials on the radiator and ground plane of microstrip patch antennas, improved performance is achieved. The selected type of metamaterial alters the radiation current distribution of the patch, enhancing the edge fields at the patch edges, which improves antenna radiation and reduces surface wave losses in the ground plane of the radiators. The proposed antenna arrays address the shortcomings of older designs and meet the needs of 5G communication systems.

For this purpose, the deceptive jammer receives the enemy's radar signal and after applying the appropriate frequency shift and time shift on it, it deceives the radar by the DRFM system located on the jammer and sending a set of these fake signals to the enemy's radar. . Now, the basic issue in this method is, what should be the appropriate time shift and frequency shift interval to create deception signals? If the frequency and time shift distance is small, it means that the number of decoy signals should be increased, which has the advantage that it is easy to hide the internal target from the enemy's radar, but the problem will be that the PAPR value of the system will increase. The search and efficiency of the jammer decreases, and if the frequency and time shift distance increases, because the number of fake signals decreases, so there is an advantage that the PAPR value will not increase, but there will be a problem that the internal target will not be easily hidden from the enemy's radar. stayed Therefore, the frequency and time shift distance should be calculated in such a way that both the PAPR criterion does not increase and the target is easily hidden from the enemy's radar.Keywords: Deceptive Jammer, PAPR, Jsrmin, Decoy Signal, Frequency Shift, Time Shift

One of the very important challenges in plasma antennas is the coupling of the RF signals to the plasma column. RF signal coupling significantly affects the antenna efficiency, antenna implementation cost, structure implementation complexity, antenna pattern shape, and final structure size, weight, and volume. In this article, firstly the various methods of coupling were introduced, described, and compared. Then the capacitive coupling, direct coupling, and sleeve coupling were presented, and their advantages and disadvantages were mentioned and compared. A plasma-folded monopole antenna with sleeve coupling was designed, simulated, fabricated, and measured as a sample of this RF coupling method. By comparing these different coupling methods, one can conclude that the sleeve coupling method is the most suitable. This method has the least sensitivity to change the dimensions of the antenna. It is also easy and cheap to implement. In this type of RF signal coupling method, the efficiency of the Nesta antenna is suitable and the coupling structure adds very small weight and volume to the antenna structure.

This design is based on a 2 to 1 coaxial adder and a coaxial coupler and a stub in the two arms of the adder. 7.16 and 1.58 connectors have been used in the inputs and outputs of this collector, respectively, due to the ability to transfer high power. The dimensions of this collector, along with the coaxial coupler and stubs, are 300 mm*192 mm*270 mm. A full-wave collector prototype has been evaluated. It is shown that the proposed high power combiner has better than 20dB return loss, less than 0.1dB amplitude imbalance in the 750MHz to 950MHz band. The proposed structure can reduce the second harmonic by -50dB. Since this collector is placed at the output of a high power transmitter, a coupler is used in its output arm to test the amplifier and to know its output power. This coaxial coupler has 34dB coupling and 30dB directivity.

Journal of Contributions of Science and Technology for Engineering, Volume:1 Issue: 4, Autumn 2024, PP 35 -43This paper refers to a FEM-based parametric study of the influence of FRP sheets on the performance of post-tensioned RC shear walls due to lateral loads. Based on this, changes in the length (85 and 170 cm), width (20 and 40 cm), and angle of FRP sheet arrangement relative to the horizontal axis (0°,45° and 90°) have been used as parameters affecting the performance of post-tensioned RC shear walls against lateral loads. In this regard, an experimental campaign taken from the literature is introduced. A FE model is created to simulate the experiments. The results of these experiments are compared with the FE model for validation purposes. Afterwards, FRP sheets are incorporated into the FE model. The main innovation refers to a sensitivity analysis of the influence of different geometries of the FRP sheets on the performance of the wall. Results are obtained while using FRP sheets of different parameters. It is concluded that FRP sheets exhibiting larger width, and angle of inclination correspond to an overall better lateral load bearing capacity of the post-tensioned shear walls. This capacity increase varies from 1.5% to above and will reach nearly 10% in the best case.Keywords: Prestressing, Post-Tensioned, Precast Concrete Shear Walls, FRP Sheets, Abaqus Software

Journal of Contributions of Science and Technology for Engineering, Volume:1 Issue: 4, Autumn 2024, PP 44 -57This paper explores the challenges in developing AsyncAPI specifications by presenting the design and evaluation of a dedicated graphical editor. This research aims at enhancing usability and productivity and reducing errors associated with AsyncAPI modeling compared to traditional textual and tree-based approaches. The research method involved the design of a graphical editor integrated into the Eclipse environment by using Eclipse Sirius with a model-driven development approach based on the Ecore metamodeling framework. The evaluation was based on four case studies with varying levels of complexity and a questionnaire for 40 participants in which the graphical editor was compared to YAML and tree-based representations regarding its understandability, proneness to errors, and modeling efficiency. The discussion focused on the users' feedback on. The results show that the graphical editor significantly improves usability and reduces errors, particularly for complex cases, thus facilitating a faster grasp of component interrelationships and efficient error detection. While the editor was generally positively assessed, some problems related to scalability for large models and the Eclipse-based infrastructure were reported. In summary, this study illustrates the capacity of graphical modeling to revolutionize AsyncAPI development by providing a more intuitive and effective alternative to conventional textual approaches; however, subsequent research must focus on scalability and platform accessibility in order to enhance widespread utilization.Keywords: Graphical Modeling Editor, Usability, User Experience, Message-Driven Architecture

Journal of Contributions of Science and Technology for Engineering, Volume:1 Issue: 4, Autumn 2024, PP 16 -27This study, investigates the factors impacting on sloshing phenomenon of the tank structures including geometry, burial rate, and installation of T-shaped baffles under two different earthquake records. The results indicate that the tanks with larger dimensions will experience less sloshing height. Moreover, length, height, and the freeboard, respectively, are effective in lowering the roof force. However, freeboard plays a more important role comparing with the burial rate of the tank in reducing the roof force. Note that as the freeboard and burial rate increase, the roof force decreases. The results represent that decreasing the height to length ratio of the tank reduces the maximum sloshing height. Finally, using the energy dissipation ratio concept, it is observed that the tank with baffles shows much better performance with the energy dissipation ratio of about 96%, comparing with the burial approach in which even the tank under 100% burial rate just dissipates less than 50% the energy induced by the sloshing waves.Keywords: Rectangular Tank, Sloshing Height, Upward Roof Force, Energy Dissipation Ratio, Burial Rate, Baffles

The proliferation of renewable energy sources, with their inherent uncertainty in smart microgrids, necessitates the use of flexible resources to maintain grid stability. However, implementing these flexibility-based approaches can have a multidimensional impact, including economic, technical, social, and environmental considerations. This study investigates these effects, with a particular focus on how flexibility provision influences battery aging, which is a critical aspect since batteries are the primary source of flexibility in microgrids. Here, a Lexicographic approach is used to optimize the multi-objective operation problem by minimizing costs while maximizing flexibility. Batteries act as the main source of flexibility and compensate for the uncertainty associated with solar energy production; therefore, it is important to investigate the battery's aging upon flexibility provision. The analysis shows a trade-off between flexibility and economic efficiency. Hence, from an economic point of view, increasing reliance on batteries and micro turbine production to improve flexibility leads to higher operating costs. From a social perspective, the proposed approach increases microgrid reliability by minimizing the cost of energy not supplied. Considering the technical aspect, the results indicate that increasing the use of batteries in order to increase microgrids' flexibility accelerates their aging, hence decreasing their corresponding state of health. Further, the simulation results show that flexibility comes with an environmental cost. Therefore, increasing reliance on micro turbine production and the possibility of purchasing energy from sources with more emissions to provide the required flexibility can lead to an increase in the cost of pollution.Keywords: Flexibility, Battery Aging, Smart Micro Grid, Uncertainty, Lexicographic Method

Low inertia is one of the most important challenges for frequency maintenance in islanded microgrids. To address this issue, the innovative concept of Virtual Inertia Control (VIC) has emerged as a promising solution for enhancing frequency stability in such systems. This paper presents an advanced controller, the PD-FOPID, as a highly effective technique for improving the efficiency of VIC in islanded microgrids. By leveraging the Rain Optimization Algorithm (ROA), this approach enables precise fine-tuning of the controller's parameters. A key advantage of the proposed method is its inherent resilience to disruptions and uncertainties caused by parameter fluctuations in islanded microgrids. To evaluate its performance and compare it with alternative control methods, extensive assessments were conducted across various scenarios. The comparison includes VIC based on an H-infinity controller (Controller 1), VIC based on an MPC controller (Controller 2), Adaptive VIC (Controller 3), VIC based on an optimized PI controller (Controller 4), conventional VIC (Controller 5), and systems without VIC (Controller 6). The results demonstrate that the proposed methodology significantly outperforms existing approaches in the field of VIC. The simulations were conducted using MATLAB software.

The concept of an energy hub (EH) has been utilized to address the issue of performing concurrent operations of various energy generation and transmission infrastructures. One of the primary concerns for investors is the efficient utilization of EH to effectively manage energy carriers, particularly in transactions with the upstream grid. In this paper the proposed smart energy hubs (SEH) manage dispatchable generation, i.e. Combined Cooling, Heat, and power (CCHP), and non-dispatchable generation, i.e. Photovoltaic (PV). SEHs consider Ice Storage Conditioner (ISC) as well as Thermal Energy Storage System (TESS) as the Energy Storage System (ESS). To mitigate dependence on gas and electricity utility companies, a peer-to-peer (P2P) energy sharing strategy has been executed. The implementation of demand response (DR) is directed toward shiftable electrical loads. The thermodynamic model of heating and cooling loads is developed with flexibility as integrated demand response (IDR) based on the desired temperature. The objective of optimization is to minimize operation and environmental costs.. The flexibility constraint serves in particular to enhance the flexibility of the interrelationships between MG and the upstream network. The suggested model incorporates the probabilistic nature of PV generation as well as the electrical, thermal, and cooling demands in various scenarios. The proposed model is a Mix Integer Non-Linear Problem (MINLP), which was solved using SCIP solver in GAMS software. Implementation of the proposed framework on the typical EHs shows the impact of P2P transactive energy and flexibility constraint performance on elements such as operation costs, emissions and flexibility of the system.Keywords: Demand Response, Energy Managment, Flexibility, Smart Energy Hubs

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the utilization of renewable resources for electricity generation. Consequently, accurate short-term forecasting of renewable power production has become crucial for power system operations. However, Renewable Power Production Forecasting (RPPF) presents unique challenges due to the intermittent and uncertain nature of renewable energy sources. This paper proposes a novel approach to short-term RPPF. The proposed model integrates various techniques, including Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). The aim is to enhance the accuracy and predictive performance of renewable power production forecasts. The suggested hybrid model employs the Modified Relief-Mutual Information (MRMI) feature selection technique to identify the most influential input data for prediction. Subsequently, the combined model generates a 24-hour ahead RPP prediction using a weighted output approach. By capitalizing on the strengths of each individual model, the combined method mitigates their weaknesses, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the forecasting process. The accuracy and performance of the proposed method are evaluated through two case studies involving solar farm power generation at the Mahan, Iran and Rafsanjan, Iran sites. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the hybrid model in enhancing the accuracy of short-term RPPF. By combining multiple forecasting methods and utilizing the MRMI feature selection technique, the proposed method significantly improves prediction accuracy.Keywords: Gated Recurrent Unit, LSTM, MRMI Feature Selection, Renewable Energy Resources

In recent years, the technology of plasma processing and thin film deposition using electron cyclotron resonance plasma (ECR) sources has been developed and widely utilized in plasma processing at low pressures due to its higher ionization rate compared to DC and RF plasma sources, as well as its lower sheath potential. One of the challenges of ECR plasma processing systems is the requirement for expensive magnetic field generation systems. This issue can be addressed by using permanent magnets instead of magnetic coils for generating magnetic fields. In this article, magnetic field profile of four NdFeB grade 42 permanent block magnets have been computed using Magnetic Field No Current (MFNC) module of COMSOL software and the optimal arrangement of magnets, for which resonant surfaces are placed inside the discharge chamber, has been determined. Then, microwave generated discharge in the presence of permanent magnets have been computed using Plasma and Electromagnetic Wave (EMW) modules. Additionally, we calculated characteristics of the discharge such as plasma density and microwave power absorption.
