Distributed generation (DG) sources are becoming more prominent in distribution systems due to the incremental demands for electrical energy. Locations and capacities of DG sources have great impacts on the system losses in a distribution network. This paper presents a study aimed for optimally determining the size and location of distributed generation units in distribution systems with differ...

In distribution systems, in order to diminish power losses and keep voltage profiles within acceptable limits, network reconfiguration and capacitor placement are commonly used. In this paper, the Hybrid Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm (HSFLA) is used to optimize balanced and unbalanced radial distribution systems by means of a network reconfiguration and capacitor placement. High accuracy and ...

The LM5032 dual current mode PWM controller contains all the features needed to control an interleaved boost converter. The two outputs operate 180 degrees out of phase and have separate current limit inputs for each channel. In addition to a high input voltage range, the controller contains all the auxiliary features needed to control a complete converter. Introduction A basic boost converter ...

This paper presents a genetic algorithm-based method to determine coordinated voltage control in the unbalanced distribution radial system distributed generators. The coordinated voltage control has been done with DGs reactive power control and OLTC operation. The result indicates that involving DGs reactive powers in the voltage control will result in a reduction of number of OLTC operations a...

The fulfillment of wide variety in energy demand by growing industries and incorporation of renewable energy source in power system is made possible by multilevel inverter. From design prospective it is also important to take care of losses took place in inverter i.e. switching and conduction losses in addition to the modulation techniques which look after harmonic spectrum in output voltage/cu...

This paper analyzes one of the most important power capture challenges DC series–parallel collection system, called curtailment losses. The wind speed difference between series-connected turbines causes over- and under-voltage conditions in output voltage MVDC (medium-voltage DC) converters turbine. losses caused by upper-voltage tolerance levels are analyzed considering a redundancy-based limi...

In this paper, the impacts of installing superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL)in radial and loop power distribution system are evaluated to improve voltage sag in both cases of with and without distributed generations (DG). Among various SFCLs, the hybrid type with a superconducting element in parallel with a current limiting reactor (CLR) is selected. This is more effective than resisto...

Reactive power dispatch for voltage profile modification has been of interest Abstract to powerr utilities. Usually local bus voltages can be altered by changing generator voltages, reactive shunts, ULTC transformers and SVCs. Determination of optimum values for control parameters, however, is not simple for modern power system networks. Heuristic and rather intelligent algorithms have to be so...
