The energy crisis and environmental concerns have accelerated the development of active distribution network (ADN) with a high proportion renewable energy, which poses challenge to operation power system. Moreover, using management means promote consumption is an important task ADN. Therefore, as means, reconfiguration used enhance adjustable capacity system at planning stage. Firstly, “wind–li...

Context-awareness is an essential requirement for pervasive computing applications, which enables them to adapt and perform tasks based on context. One of the adaptive features of context-awareness is contextual reconfiguration. Contextual reconfiguration involves discovering remote service(s) based on context and binding them to the application components to realize new behaviors, which may be...

Dynamic reconfiguration of high speed switched network is the process of changing from one routing function to another while the network remains in running mode. Current distributed switch-based interconnected systems require high performance, reliability and availability. These systems changes their topologies due to hot expansion of components, link or node activation and deactivation. Theref...

As the process of deregulation of the electric utility industry proceeds, the importance of power quality is increasing. A fundamental aspect of power quality is the continuity of power supply that is the absence of momentary, temporary and sustained power interruptions. In this paper a network reconfiguration strategy is proposed which allows the distribution network to separate into a certain...

Network reconfiguration aims to minimize network real power loss through rearranging the status of open switches. The consumers of the distribution networks need a better voltage profile for efficient operation of various gadgets. This paper thus attempts to develop a new reconfiguration algorithm with an objective of improving the voltage profile of the distribution network without incurring a...

The strategies of distribution network reconfiguration are applicable for minimizing power loss and saving electrical energy in the distribution system. Network reconfiguration is usually represented by constant load demand so ignoring the variability of load demand causes uncertainty and misleading results in the minimization of power loss. This paper consists of two parts: first, the reconfig...

In this paper, reconfiguration problem of distribution network has been investigated toimprove reliability and reduce power loss by placement of renewable energy sources; i.e. solarcell and wind turbine. For this, four reliability indices are considered in objective function;which are as follows: System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI), System AverageInterruption Duration Index (SAI...

Efficient reconfiguration of optical multicast trees in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks is required. Multimedia applications which consume a huge bandwidth, require multicasting. So, multicast concept is extended to optical networks to improve performance. Today, networks are facing many phenomena such as changes in the traffic model, failures, additions or deletions of some net...
