Steady-State Stand-Alone Power Flow Solvers for Integrated Transmission-Distribution Networks: A Comparison Study and Numerical Assessment

This paper compares and assesses several numerical methods that solve the steady-state power flow problem on integrated transmission-distribution networks. The integrated network model consists of a balanced transmission and an unbalanced distribution network. It is important to analyze these integrated electrical power systems due to the...

Feasibility study for the introduction of synchromodal freight transportation concept

The current weaknesses of the conventional intermodal freight transportation system have led to the development of the synchromodal freight transportation concept introduced and piloted in the Netherlands. The innovative concept has the advantage of adding flexibility, cost reduction, and sustainability among other things, into the freight...

Distribution of traffic over buffer space by using controlled intersections

Congestion on the road is a widely recognized problem. To improve traffic conditions on the road, several methods have been developed over the years. Dynamic traffic management is one of them and has proven to be effective. It aims at making better use of the existing network capacity and at managing traffic flows. In order to further improve...

A Multi-hop Aware Scheduling Mechanism for HSDPA and IEEE 802.11 Integrated Network

By simulating the integrated networks with multiple gateways and TCP flows, we get the unfairness in the HSDPA and IEEE 802.11 integrated networks. The unfairness has two sources: the HSDPA cellular subnetwork and the IEEE 802.11 subnetwork. A novel scheduling algorithm - Multi-hop Aware Scheduling has been proposed to resolve the unfairness...
