reliability evaluation of a large-scale composite power system faces to numerous events/outage and consequently imposes an extensive burden of calculations. in order to simplify the problem, determination of an equivalent system for large-scale power system is inevitable. this paper proposes a framework as reduction technique to separate a composite power system to three areas: external area, o...

Advances in wireless power transfer technology provide the possibility to construct electrified roads and charge electric vehicles driving on road. Dynamic charging mode enables contactless interaction of with grid has a promising prospect, but it may also bring about potential challenges such as reliability deterioration. Electric buses serve forerunner use this new due their fixed patterns. T...

Power distribution networks are recognized as the constituent part of power systems with the highest concentration of failure events. Even though the faults in distribution networks have a local effect when compared to the generation and transmission sides, major contingency escalation events are being more frequently reported from this section. The various aspects regarding the reliability and...

Embedded Generation (EG) is a small scale production of power, typically located close to electricity consumers. Technologies used for EG include combined head and power, solar, wind, biomass, and gas. In Ontario, as a result of the Standard Offer Program (SOP), a large amount of EG projects has been proposed to be directly connected to distribution systems in the IESOControlled Grid (ICG). The...

This Technical Note presents an overview of the adverse effects on connected equipment of transient overvoltages that can occur on the electricity distribution network, and how to provide protection against them. Integral Energy, your local Distribution Network Service Provider or the Integral Energy Power Quality and Reliability Centre can give you additional advice if you have particular conc...

Distributed generation (DG) integrated into Smart grid is the future of distribution systems. The expected impact is wide in terms of control, management, supply and use. In particular, in order to integrate DG based on renewable sources in distribution networks without compromising the integrity of the grid, it needs to develop proper control techniques to allow power delivery to customers in ...
