This work presents a case study of short term load forecasting to assist in the power exchange real time dispatch operation between Brazil and Paraguay at Itaipu Dam. A classical method with statistical approach, Seasonal ...

An important alteration of the equivalent loads profile has been observed in the electrical energy distribution systems, for the last years. Such fact is due to the significant increment of the electronic processors of ...

Multipulse rectifier topologies based on autoconnections, or differential connections, are more and more applied as interface stages between the mains and power converters. These topologies mitigate many low-order current ...

Abstract. In this paper, we give an overview of efforts to improve current techniques of load-balancing and efficiency of finite element method (FEM) computations on large-scale parallel machines and introduce a multilevel ...

The magnitude and geographic location of electricity demand in the planning horizon are vital pieces of information for power distribution companies in planning future network expansion and operation. Such information is ...

A new generation of smart meters are called cognitive meters, which are essentially based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and load disaggregation methods for Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM). Thus, modern NILM may ...

A novel PWM voltage source rectifier, controlled by the load de current instead of the de voltage, has been developed. Its main characteristics are: a) there is neither input current sensors nor de voltage sensor; b) it ...

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 ...
