Static synchronous compensators (STATCOMs) utilize multilevel converters due to the following: 1) lower harmonic injection into the power system; 2) decreased stress on the electronic components due to decreased voltages; and 3) lower switching losses. One disadvantage, however, is the increased likelihood of a switch failure due to the increased number of switches in a multilevel converter. A ...

The aim of this paper is to optimize the system after restoring and reconfigure the faulted area in a distribution network after isolating the faulted block. Restoration involves changing the switch status to maximize the supply to loads that are left unsupplied after fault removal. After system optimization using reconfiguration, Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is used in order to control...

Because they require no assumption besides the preimage or collision resistance of hash functions, hash-based signatures are a unique and very attractive class of post-quantum primitives. Among them, the schemes of the sphincs family are arguably the most practical stateless schemes, and can be implemented on embedded devices such as FPGAs or smart cards. This naturally raises the question of t...

The increasing use of modern measuring devices, such as Feeder Terminal Units (FTUs), on power networks can provide multiple types of information for fault location on distribution systems. Using these devices, in this paper, a novel automatic matrix-based algorithm for the identification and isolation of faulted feeder sections on distribution systems is proposed. The algorithm works in two st...

This paper describes the concept and characteristics of smart grid distribution systems, basic difference between conventional and smart grid distribution systems, functional management and reliability evaluation of smart grid distribution systems. In smart grid distribution system, remotely controlled high rated power electronic switches are used in the place of normal disconnecting switches o...
