With the considerable increase of the losses in electric utilities of developing countries, such as Brazil, there is an investigation for loss calculation methodologies, considering both technical (inherent of the system) ...

The increase of electricity demand in Brazil, the lack of the next major hydroelectric reservoirs implementation, and the growth of environmental concerns lead utilities to seek an improved system planning to meet these ...

Electric energy demand in residences represents around 30% of the global demand. This requires a detailed knowledge about the electrical load patterns, leading to a change in final consumer behavior to reduce the general ...

The estimation of load curves by class of consumers is an information used in several studies of planning and operation of electrical distribution networks. The recharging of electric vehicles can modify these curves by ...

Este artículo presenta una metodología para la estimación de curvas de demanda de potencia diaria a nivel de consumidor, transformador y alimentador primario. La estimación de las curvas toma como referencia mediciones de ...

This paper is the result of real-scale physical modeling study designed to simulate the load-deformation characteristics of railroad foundation systems that include the railroad ties, the ballast, and the sub-base layers ...

The electricity sector, especially in emerging countries, has experienced several transformations, mainly resulting from the increase of electricity demand. This encourages more investment in the generation sector and ...
