Distribution system restoration in a DG environment using a heuristic constructive multi-start algorithm
(2011-05-31)
This paper proposes a heuristic constructive multi-start algorithm (HCMA) to distribution system restoration in real time considering distributed generators installed in the system. The problem is modeled as nonlinear mixed ...
Integration of the dispersed generators in the distribution management system
(2003-12-01)
Since the 80s huge efforts have been made to utilize renewable energy sources to generate electric power. An important issue about using renewable energy sources is a Distribution Management System (DMS) in presence of ...
Optimal allocation of capacitors in radial distribution systems with distributed generation
(2011-12-19)
This paper presents a mixed-integer linear programming approach to solving the optimal fixed/switched capacitors allocation (OCA) problem in radial distribution systems with distributed generation. The use of a mixed-integer ...
A proposal for reliability evaluation of components on electric power distribution system integrating probabilistic models and fuzzy inference systems
(2012-11-26)
The system reliability depends on the reliability of its components itself. Therefore, it is necessary a methodology capable of inferring the state of functionality of these components to establish reliable indices of ...
Fault location in underground systems using artificial neural networks and PSCAD/EMTDC
(2012-10-01)
The need for high reliability and environmental concerns are making the underground networks the most appropriate choice of energy distribution. However, like any other system, underground distribution systems are not free ...
Integrated planning of electric power distribution networks
(2009-12-01)
In this work, a heuristic model for integrated planning of primary distribution network and secondary distribution circuits is proposed. A Tabu Search (TS) algorithm is employed to solve the planning of primary distribution ...
A multi-objective programming approach for the optimal operation of distributed generation considering uncertainty
(2011-05-31)
Due to the renewed interest in distributed generation (DG), the number of DG units incorporated in distribution systems has been rapidly increasing in the past few years. This situation requires new analysis tools for ...
Allocation of distributed generation to minimize losses in the distribution power system
(2021-09-15)
Distributed generation (DG) has been increasing the electricity generation capacity around the world, becoming an area of great interest. DG benefits the distribution system by reducing losses and improving the energy ...
Network reconfiguration of distribution systems using metaheuristics and reliability measures
(2009-12-09)
In an evermore competitive environment, power distribution companies need to continuously monitor and improve the reliability indices of their systems. The network reconfiguration (NR) of a distribution system is a technique ...
The application of distributed virtual machines for enterprise computer management: A two-tier network file system for image provisioning and management
(2008-09-23)
In order to simplify computer management, several system administrators are adopting advanced techniques to manage software configuration of enterprise computer networks, but the tight coupling between hardware and software ...
