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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Investigation into the impact of embedded generators on distribution system performance using theorem of superposition
(2005-12-01)
Since the 1980s, huge efforts have been made to utilise renewable energy sources to generate electric power. One of the interesting issues about embedded generators is the question of optimal placement and sizing of the ...
A set of linear equations to calculate the steady-state operation of an electrical distribution system
(2011-12-19)
In this paper, the calculation of the steady-state operation of a radial/meshed electrical distribution system (EDS) through solving a system of linear equations (non-iterative load flow) is presented. The constant power ...
Fuzzy distributed artificial intelligence systems
(1994-12-01)
In this paper, we introduce a DAI approach called hereinafter Fuzzy Distributed Artificial Intelligence (FDAI). Through the use of fuzzy logic, we have been able to develop mechanisms that we feel may effectively improve ...
