Optimal Distributed Generation Planning in Radial Distribution Networks Considering Protection Coordination Limits

Distributed generation (DG) has been widely used in distribution network to reduce the energy losses, improve voltage profile and system reliability, etc.  The location and capacity of DG units can influence on probability of protection mal-operation in distribution networks. In this paper, a novel model for DG planning is proposed to find the optimum DG location and sizing in radial distr...

I-Globe: Distributed Planning and Coordination of Mixed-initiative Activities

We present an approach to distributed planning and coordination architecture for dynamic non-deterministic multiactor mixed-initiative environment. The system provides flexible planning, replanning, and task allocation. The key idea of the presented approach is in integration of (i) I-X hierarchical planner with (ii) agent-based architecture and (iii) commitment-based plan representation. The i...

Integrating Network Technique into Distributed Agent-Oriented Software Development Projects

The management of local software projects is challenging, due to its complexity. In case of distributed development projects, the complexity in project management increases even more [1]. In this publication we introduce and adapt the well-proven network technique into Paose, a distributed agent-oriented software development approach, by directly integrating a modeling tool for network techniqu...

A Customer Oriented Approach for Distribution System Reliability Improvement using Optimal Distributed Generation and Switch Placement

The reliability of distribution networks is inherently low due to their radial nature, consequently distribution companies (DisCos) usually seek to improve the system reliability indices with the minimum possible investment cost. This can be known as system-oriented reliability planning (SORP). However, there can exist some customers that are not satisfied by their reliability determined by ado...
