Fault Classification in Radial Distribution Feeder

Robust feeder reconfiguration in radial distribution networks

Distribution feeder reconfiguration has been an active field of research for many years. Some recent theoretical studies have highlighted the importance of smart reconfiguration for the operating conditions of such radial networks. In general, this problem has been tackled using a multi-objective formulation with simplified assumptions, in which the uncertainties related to network components h...

fault location in power distribution networks using matching algorithm

چکیده رساله/پایان نامه : تاکنون روش‏های متعددی در ارتباط با مکان یابی خطا در شبکه انتقال ارائه شده است. استفاده مستقیم از این روش‏ها در شبکه توزیع به دلایلی همچون وجود انشعاب‏های متعدد، غیر یکنواختی فیدرها (خطوط کابلی، خطوط هوایی، سطح مقطع متفاوت انشعاب ها و تنه اصلی فیدر)، نامتعادلی (عدم جابجا شدگی خطوط، بارهای تک‏فاز و سه فاز)، ثابت نبودن بار و اندازه گیری مقادیر ولتاژ و جریان فقط در ابتدای...

Simulated Annealing for Feeder Routing of Radial Distribution System

The main objective of the distribution system planning is to determine the substation location, size and its service area, number of feeders and their routes. The planning problem is solved by classical methods to non traditional soft computing techniques, hence in this work, soft computing technique known as Simulated Annealing is used. Simulated Annealing is a thermal process for obtaining lo...

Multi-sensor-based Fault Detection and Classification Method for Radial Power Distribution Systems

Combination of Fuzzy and Second Order PSO based Capacitor Placement in Radial Distribution Feeder

A new method of Second order PSO for a more effective capacitor sizing in radial distribution feeders to reduce the real power loss and to improve the voltage profile is proposed. The location of the nodes where the capacitors should be placed is decided by a set of rules given by the fuzzy expert system and the sizing of the capacitors is modeled by the objective function to obtain maximum sav...
