Distribution System Restructuring: Distribution LMP via Unbalanced ACOPF

Restructuring of Existing Distribution System with High voltage Distribution system

The Power Requirement in urban and metro areas is very high with an exponential growth. The distribution system with LVDS results in multiple loads fed from a bulk power transformer resulting in higher regulation in the tail ends. Moreover there is an increase in the system losses, power factor, voltage profile and performance are affected in the existing distribution system. Losses in an elect...

New Adaptive Reclosing Technique in Unbalanced Distribution System

The conventional reclosing of a distribution system is performed after a fixed dead time. However, it may lead to the increased outage time due to delayed reclosing. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a new adaptive reclosing scheme. The electrostatic induction is analyzed under at during-fault and post-fault conditions. Based on this analysis, the method to judge the fault clearance us...

Power Flow Analysis of Three Phase Unbalanced Radial Distribution System

This paper provides a new approach for power flow and modeling analysis of three phase unbalanced radial distribution systems (URDS) using the simple forward/backward sweep-based algorithm. A three phase load flow solution is proposed considering voltage regulator and transformer with detailed load modeling, for the transformer modeling symmetrical components theory is used and zero sequence-vo...

Distributed Generator Placement and Sizing in Unbalanced Radial Distribution System

To minimize power losses, it is important to determine the location and size of local generators to be placed in unbalanced power distribution systems. On account of some inherent features of unbalanced distribution systems, such as radial structure, large number of nodes, a wide range of X/R ratios, the conventional techniques developed for the transmission systems generally fail on the determ...
