Abstract: A new method of Second order PSO for a more effective capacitor sizing in radial distribution feeders to reduce the real power loss and to improve the voltage profile is proposed. The location of the nodes where the capacitors should be placed is decided by a set of rules given by the fuzzy expert system and the sizing of the capacitors is modeled by the objective function to obtain maximum savings using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The newer upgrade to PSO enables the problem to use the knowledge of past solutions into present sizing and hence a second level of optimization procedure to provide better results. A case study with IEEE 15-bus and 34-bus radial distribution feeders is presented to illustrate the applicability of the newer algorithm

Abstract: The paper presents an issue of updating methods of commanding personnel’s training course on commanding police operations by means of simulator of police activities in crisis. With regard to fundamental forms of simulations used in armed forces’ combat operations, the article describes a prototype of a simulator of police operations in crisis. The prototype which is under construction will be oriented at improvement of the process of commanding the Police force at all levels (as far as its function is considered) and will be used to simulate physical (real) phenomena in artificially created environment. The proposed solution is a computer system which by means of modeling and simulation techniques will present interesting for executives’ training course fragment of reality. The article also presents principles of creating and applying simulation solutions by means of AI systems in trainings of security services. The presented prototype of a simulator will enable future commanding offic
