Proper location of DGs in power systems is important for obtaining their maximum potential benefits. This paper deals with DG for minimizing active power loss and D-statcom for reactive power loss minimization is considered. The proper siting of DG and D-statcom is a recently developed combination with the aim of reducing line loss in a radial distribution system. Loss Sensitivity Factor (LSF) ...

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...

The objective of optimal feeder reconfiguration of radial distribution system problem is to obtain the best set of branches to be opened, one each from each loop, such that the resulting radial distribution system has the desired performance. This paper presents a feeder reconfiguration problem in the presence of distributed generators to minimize the system power loss while satisfying operatin...

This paper reports on an efficient method of power flow analysis for solving balanced and unbalanced radial distribution systems. The radial distribution system is modelled as a series of interconnected single feeders. Using Kirchoff’s laws, a set of iterative power flow equations was developed to conduct the power flow studies. Due to the voltage dependency of loads in distribution systems, va...

This paper describes an application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to Load Frequency Control (LFC) of nonlinear power systems. Power systems, such as other industrial processes, have parametric uncertainties that for controller design had to take the uncertainties in to account. For this reason, in the design of LFC controller the idea of robust control theories are being used. To improve ...
