The distribution system is prone to failures and disturbances due to weather related issues and human errors. The distributed generation is expected to play a key role in the power system. The reliability of the power supply can be improved in the presence of distributed generation (DG). In this paper, general assessment of the impact of distributed generation (DG) on the distribution system re...

This study based on investigation for integration wind power into conventional power system with its impact on fossil fuel generators and their generation management. Wind power as environmental friendly energy source can reduce the operational cost of the system due to considering no cost for energizing the generator in comparing with fossil fuel generators. However due to unpredictable nature...

in this paper, multi-microgrids (mmg) are considered as future smart distribution grids, in which small scale energy resources (sser) are main power generation units with small scales. optimal operation of microgrids in defined intervals is carried out to achieve economic conditions in distribution systems. the defined operating problem is optimized using a heuristic algorithm considering uncer...

This paper is aimed at analyzing the possible power options and configurations for remote locations in the oil and gas industry with the view of proposing a cost effect power supply option suitable for the different operational requirements at these remote locations. It reviews the different power options available and presents selection criteria for the optimum choice of power generation techn...

This paper presents the correlation between the reliability and the weather scenario of Bangladesh Power System (BPS). Reliability of the power system is one of the major features of power quality. The variation of electrical demand above its base value is its common characteristic. The weather dependent variation of demand, especially where the weather is severe in nature, requires a significa...
