By increasing the use of distributed generation (DG) in the distribution network operation, an entity called virtual power plant (VPP) has been introduced to control, dispatch and aggregate the generation of DGs, enabling them to participate either in the electricity market or the distribution network operation. The participation of VPPs in the electricity market has made challenges to fairly a...

The presence of a significant DG capacity in distribution networks will result in some conflicts with the operation of the system, mainly because, unlike the meshed transmission system, the distribution system is usually designed as a “passive” radial system. In general, the impact of DG depends on its penetration level in distribution network as well as on DG technology (e.g. synchronous gener...

ac railway traction loads are usually huge single phase loads. as a result, a significant amount of negative sequence current (nsc) is injected into utility grid. moreover, harmonics and consumption ofreactive power are further power quality problems that the supply network is encountering. in this paper, acompensation strategy with the aid of railway power conditioner (rpc) is proposed to over...

Real-time fault detection in power distribution networks has become a popular issue current systems. However, the low and computational capabilities of edge devices often fail to meet requirements real-time detection. To overcome these challenges, this paper proposes lightweight algorithm, named Comprehensive-YOLOv5, for identifying defects networks. The proposed method focuses on achieving rap...

This paper concentrates on compensating the power quality issues which have been increased in day-to-day life due to enormous usage of loads with electronic control. One such solution is devices like Pension Protection Fund (PPF), Active filter (APF), hybrid (HPF), etc., are used overcome Power Quality (PQ) issues. The proposed method here an active compensator called unified conditioner (UPQC)...
