Effect of work related variables on human errors in measurement

What one cannot measure one cannot control. Measurement plays a key role in science, technology and industry. Where there are measurements there is associated errors. Study of measurement errors has a long history. Attempts have been made to classify and understand the factors that contribute to errors in measurement. The understanding of this is useful for error reduction and also providing the margin for errors and...

Congestion management in deregulated power sector using fuzzy based optimal location technique for series flexible alternative current transmission system (FACTS) device

The deregulated power sectors suffer from congestion management problems. The congestion occurs when the generation and consumption of electric power causes the transmission system to operate beyond transfer limits. Flexible alternative current transmission system (FACTS) devices can be used to reduce the flows in heavily loaded lines, resulting in low power loss and improved stability of the system. In this paper, a...
