This paper shows the feasibility of using an accurate 3D ultrasonic position estimation system for realtime image guided neurosurgery. Current image guided systems use camera based technology that is space-intensive, have an accuracy of about 2mm, and are prone to occasional failures. The 3D system presented in this paper eliminates the space intensive camera, has an accuracy better than 2mm in the operating range of about 20–40cm, makes the system independent of line-of-sight occlusion problems, and is expected to pave the way for accurate fusion models of MRI and ultrasonography to account for brain shifts during surgery. This paper presents the system formulation, optimal placement of receivers using an innovative genetic algorithm approach, a scheme for automatic installation and calibration, and finally some preliminary experimental results within a laboratory environment.

Distributed Generation (DG) connection in a power system tends to increase the short circuit level in the entire system which, in turn, could eliminate the protection coordination between the existing relays. Fault Current Limiters (FCLs) are often used to reduce the short-circuit level of the network to a desirable level, provided that they are dully placed and appropriately sized. In this paper, a method is proposed for optimal placement of FCLs and optimal determination of their impedance values by which the relay operation time, the number and size of the FCL are minimized while maintaining the relay coordination before and after DG connection. The proposed method adopts the removal of low-impact FCLs and uses a hybrid Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization scheme to determine the optimal placement of FCLs and the values of their impedances. The suitability of the proposed method is demonstrated by examining the results of relay coordination in a typical DG network before and after DG connection.
