This article presents the development of a power flow tool to analyse the impact of the integration of distributed generation on low voltage distribution networks. The work has been implemented in MATLAB-SIMULINK environment. The developed tool can be used in radial or weakly meshed 3-phase networks with the presence of distributed generation. The voltage and power magnitudes of selected nodes ...

Distribution system planning is extremely important for the end consumers of electricity; it is indeed become necessity to explore the area of real term planning of distribution system. The practical planning of distribution system incorporates the selection of optimal conductor size selection and capacitor placement in radial distribution network in distribution system. The load flow needs to ...

The nonlinear and nonconvex nature of ac power flow challenges the analysis optimization unbalanced distribution networks. To tackle this issue, paper proposes an online feedback-based linearized model for networks with both wye-connected delta-connected loads. is grounded on first-order Taylor expansion branch (BFM), updates parameters via feedback by leveraging instantaneous measurements volt...

Single-phase power flow analysis is used to study most distribution networks in Nigeria. The use of single-phase-power assumes that the network balanced and conductor phases act identically. However, Nigerian are highly imbalanced because untransposed lines, irregularly distributed loads phases, mismatched sizes, spacing. Consequently, single-phase modeling fails reflect actual behavior, result...

The unified power flow controller (UPFC) is one of the most promising flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) devices for the power flow control. The main objective of power flow control for UPFC is to improve the power flow distribution and increase the transmission capacity over the existing transmission corridor or line. This paper presents a practical engineering methodology of embedding t...

Development of distributed generations’ technology, trends in the use of these sources to improve some of the problems such as high losses, low reliability, low power quality and high costs in distributed networks. Choose the correct location to install and proper capacity of these sources, such as important things that must be considered in their use. Since distribution networks are actu...

active flow control has great importance in design of flying objects in general and control flaps in particular. using dielectric barrier discharge as plasma actuators over control flaps can cause a change in position of separation point or can eliminate it. this new flow control device produces a body force that causes generating a micro wall jet. the present study aims to investigate experime...

The power world is sauntering towards ecofriendly distributed generation (DG), their integration into the distribution network postures challenges to existing load flow techniques. This paper is concerned with developing models of various types of wind turbine generating systems (WTGSs) used as distributed generation (DG) sources and demonstrating their application for steady state analysis. As...
