This paper studies optimal taxation in dynamic economies with increasing returns. We show that if there exists a stable open-loop Stackelberg equilibrium, the optimal rate of tax on capital income in the steady state is negative in order to eliminate the wedge between the private and the social...

An attempt has been made for the effective application of biogeography based optimization and its modified version to solve load frequency control (LFC) problem. Two-area interconnected multi-unit multi-source power system having thermal, hydro and gas power plant without and with AC-DC link is...

Abstract This paper investigates a more general transient shared load k -out-of- n : G system subject to multiple failure modes and repair facilities, with overhauling service (preventive maintenance) of the system. Expressions for the reliability function, the failure density function and...

This paper proposes a methodology for interfacing the frequency-domain harmonic electromagnetic models of complex grounding systems (buried in horizontally stratified multilayer medium) with the EMTP-ATP software package, for the purpose of transient analysis of electrical power systems. It...

The paper deals with transient analysis of grounding systems wind turbines. A typical wind turbine grounding system arrangement based on ring electrode is analyzed. Special attention is focused to the influence of additional vertical and horizontal electrodes, respectively. Influence of...

Measuring the I–V characteristics is of high importance since it can be considered as a quality and performance certificate for each PV generator. The most precise and inexpensive measuring method is represented in capacitor charging by the PV generator. Using the equivalent circuit of the PV...

An unsteady state analysis of a liquid solar collector is presented. The physical parameters, which govern the system, are identified. The governing equations have been solved using the fourth order Runge-Kutta method for various values of the parameters. The analysis is carried out for both...
