Measures of network structural integrity useful in the analysis and synthesis of power systems are discussed. Signal flow methodology is applied to derive an expression for the paths between sources and sinks in a power network. Connectivity and reach ability properties of the network are obtained using the minors of a modified connectivity matrix. Node-connectivity, branch connectivity and mix...

this paper presents as a brief introduction , the basic principles of matrix algebra for an alysing the power system problems with digital computers. the material contained in the text are as follows: primitive network, topology of electrical network, transformation of coordinates, bus admittance and bus impedance matrix.

according to this fact that wind is now a part of global energy portfolio and due to unreliable and discontinuous production of wind energy; prediction of wind power value is proposed as a main necessity. in recent years, various methods have been proposed for wind power prediction. in this paper the prediction structure involves feature selection and use of artificial neural network (ann). in ...

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...

With the development of critical loads, power quality problem has become particularly important and poor power quality will be cause many adverse effects and the cost of many deaths will follow. To improve power quality and protection of sensitive loads against grid disturbances have been used new equipment based on power electronics similar FACTs devices, they are Custom Power. One of the most...

State estimation is used in power systems to estimate grid variables based on meter measurements. Unfortunately, power grids are vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Reducing cyber-attacks against state estimation is necessary to ensure power system safe and reliable operation. False data injection (FDI) is a type of cyber-attack that tampers with measurements. This paper proposes network reconfigurati...

This study is an applied study conducted to evaluate and compare the efficiency of Iran's regional power companies using conventional and network Data Envelopment Analysis methods. Iran's regional power companies use two- phased process to transmit power. Using applied approach, the performance and efficiency of these companies were measured with network and conventional methods, and they were ...
