        Due to increasing expansion of energy consumption and also the decrease and tendency towardsending fossil energy reserves, the current energy cycle needs to use alternative energy speciallywind energy, because it’s considerably cheaper than other recycling sources. The presentresearch investigates suitable possibility of exploiting wind energy to create wind power stationin Soltanieh zone of Zanajn province by considering technical cases. Some researches have beencarried out on possibility assessment, measurement and comparison of power density. Intechnical possibility investigation, several turbines were investigated to calculate obtainableannual energy capacity coefficient of each turbine. Then these were compared to select the besttype of turbine. According to the results, wind turbine owned by Vestas Company, model V100,rated power of 1800 kW and capacity coefficient of 33.1% was selected as the best turbine. Manuscript profile

        Nowadays, Robots account for most part of our lives in such a way that it is impossible for usto do many of affairs without them. Increasingly, the application of robots is developing fastand their functions become more sensitive and complex. One of the important requirements ofRobot use is a reliable software operation. For enhancement of reliability, it is a necessity todesign the fault tolerance system. In this paper, we will present a genetic algorithm andlearning automata with high reliability to evaluate the software designed into the robotagainst soft-error with minimum performance over-head. This method relies on experiment;hence, we use the program sets as criteria in evaluation stages. Indeed, we have used the errorinjection method in the execution of experimental processes. Relevant data, regardingprogram execution behavior were collected and then analyzed. To evaluate the behavior ofprogram, errors entered using the simple scalar simulation software. Manuscript profile

        A Back Propagation Artificial Neural Network (BPANN) is a well-known learning algorithmpredicated on a gradient descent method that minimizes the square error involving the networkoutput and the goal of output values. In this study, 261 GPS/Leveling and 8869 gravity intensityvalues of Iran were selected, then the geoid with three methods “ellipsoidal stokes integral”,“BPANN”, and “collocation” were evaluated. Finally obtained results were compared and bestthe method was introduced. In Iran, the consequences showed that “BPANN” has been superiorthan other methods. Root Mean Square Error of this algorithm was less than ±0.292 m.Therefore, we concluded that BPANN can be used for geoid determination as an excellentalternative to the classic methods.

        This paper expands a model different from existing models to analyze the cost and benefit of areinforced concrete solar chimney power plant (RCSCPP) built in the desert regions of Iran.Based on the model and some assumptions for values of parameters, this paper calculates totalnet present value (TNPV) and the minimum electricity price in each phase by dividing the wholeservice period into four phases. The results showed that the minimum electricity price in the firstphase is higher than the current market price of electricity, but the minimum prices in the otherphases are far less than the current market price. The analysis indicated that huge advantages ofthe RCSCPP over coal-fired power plants could be embodied in phases 2–4. In addition, thesensitivity analysis performed in this paper discovered that TNPV is very sensitive to changes inthe solar electricity price and inflation rate, but responds only slightly to changes in carboncredits price, income tax rate and interest rate of loans. Our analysis predicts that RCSCPPshave very good application prospect. Manuscript profile

        This study on the design of PID controllers for flexible single-arm robot system optimizationPSO method is focused so that the coefficients of the PID controller are reduced. In this study,PID controller and PSO algorithm have been described and then by using MATLAB, PIDcontrol was simulated. Then by PSO algorithm, attempts to reduce the PID coefficients are givenby simulation. Finally PID coefficients' values were compared with and without the PSOalgorithm. The results showed that by using the number of birds and birds number steps, bothequal to 30 (the sixth), the lowest values of the coefficients p K , d K , i K are 0.741, 0.1491and0, respectively.

        In this article, the effect of cells' radius on the behavior of wavelength switching optical filter andthe effect of the radius of the optical filters' key characteristics such as wavelength resonance onan optical filter based on photonic crystals, have been investigated. Currently, the most commonapplied mechanism for designing optical filter based on photonic crystals is using twomechanisms such as (a) The resonant cavities and (b) Ring resonators. The applied mechanism inoptical filter used in this article is the resonant cavities. In this filter, filtering act is operated byusing cavity located between output Waveguide and input waveguide and it has been used todesign filter at the first extracted band structure and we have applied forbidden band photonicbased-crystal by using PWE method. Then, the calculations related to filter output spectrum werecarried out by using an FDTD method. Thus, the effect of cells' radius on the behavior ofwavelength switching optical filter has been investigated in this study. Manuscript profile
