The amount of integrated solar power generation capacity within the UK distribution networks is expected to continue to increase within the next few years. However, the grid has a fixed power transfer capacity, and to avoid the extra cost of power system upgrade or curtailment of renewable power, it would be necessary to store the surplus power from such nondispatchable renewable resources usin...

In modern power system, voltage stability is a major concern. To maintain voltage stability, it is desirable to assess effect of any unforeseen events and identify the nodes which are more sensitive. The most important task for distribution engineer is to efficiently simulate the system so that effective corrective actions can be taken. Load flow analysis is one of the techniques to simulate th...

Electromagnetic forces in power transformer windings are produced by interaction between the leakage fluxes and current passing them. Since the leakage flux distribution along the windings height is in two axial and radial directions, so the electromagnetic forces have two components, radial and axial. There is a risk that a large electromagnetic force due to the short circuit or inrush current...

-The penetration of DGs would drastically affect the traditional distribution power system fault current level and the characteristics of fault currents, consequently, the traditional protection arrangements developed in radial systems are difficult in coordination, and also the reclosing scheme would be affected. With the rapid developments in distribution system automation and communication t...

One of the most important issues in power system restoration is overvoltages caused by transformer switching. These overvoltages might damage some equipment and delay power system restoration. This paper presents a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) to study transformer switching overvoltages. To achieve good generalization capability for developed RBFNN, equivalent parameters of the ...

in this research between 3-dimensional and axisymmetric modeling for movement of nano-particles in passing through a aerodynamic lens, and also between these models and famous model of wang & liu was compared. for this purpose, output of nano-particles penetration, divergence angel, and nano-particle velocity with wang & liu model was compared. geometrical model used for aerodynamic lens compar...

This paper attempts to identify some basic relations between damping of the oscillation modes and voltage stability through the analysis of a simplified yet realistic two-area test system. The system consists of four equivalent generators, one of which represents a sizeable wind farm connected to the transmission system through a weak radial. The approach chosen has been to perform different ty...

Using the Frobenius series method (FSM), an analytical solution is developed to obtain mechanical stresses of thick spherical pressure vessels made of functionally graded materials (FGMs). The cylinder pressure vessel is subjected to uniform internal pressure. The modulus of elasticity is graded along the radial direction according to power functions of the radial direction. It is assumed that ...
