Given the incidence of blackouts during recent years, there has been an increased interest in understanding them to increase system reliability in the future. Multiple research efforts have been devoted to cascading models, ...

This paper presents a methodology to evaluate the reliability and to calculate interruption costs at the load bus level in the bulk power system (Hierarchical Level II). The method is based on a nonsequential Monte Carlo ...

Distributed Generators (DG) are generally modeled as PQ or PV buses in power flow studies. But in order to integrate DG units into the distribution systems and control the reactive power injection it is necessary to know ...
