, smart grid power systemattracts more and more attention. The research and implementation of this power system areconvinced to contribute to job creation, preservation and economic recovery. Moreover, thissystem can incorporate distributed energy storage and distributed renewable energy resources,including solar, wind, biomass, and tidal energy. This will reduce the dependence on importedoil and gas and improve energy security. Therefore, it also Lower emissions of greenhouse gases.It is estimated that up to 280,000 nationwide jobs can be created directly from the deployment ofsmart grid technologies (see table 1). Over 150,000 of these jobs would be created by the end of2009, and nearly 140,000 newly created high-value positions would become

Introduction Recently, many researchers around the globe have given a considerable amount of attention to anumber of methods that use non-traditional system models to solve complex problems. Among these methods,neural networks, fuzzy logic, and genetic algorithms are most prominent. All three methods simulate thedynamics of a system without relying on rigorous mathematical models. To those who are not familiar with thenew methods, such approaches may seem inadequate without mathematical rigor, but the techniques aresuperior to conventional methods in a variety of advanced problems: inverted pendulum control problem using 1 2neural networks , Sendai train control using fuzzy logic

Each week a presenter shares his or her professionalexperience with the seminar class and talks about career paths, ethics, continuing education, andthe “dos” and “don’ts” of a professional. The summaries are read for both content and proper useof grammar and sentence structure, and points are deducted for improper use of grammar andmisspelled words.
