Energy networks should strive for reliability. How can it be assessed, measured, and improved? What are the best trade-offs between investments their worth? The flow-based framework reliability assessment of energy proposed in this paper addresses these questions with a focus on power distribution networks. introduces concept iflows, or interruption flows, which translate analytical evaluation ...

This paper presents a fuzzy system for reliability-based power distribution network planning. The proposed Mamdani type inference with subsequent application of the Bellman-Zadeh decision-making method is used to evaluate reliability line feeders as criteria Unplanned outages components, Energy Not Supplied (ENS) and age lines are input variables fuzzified using triangular functions. model was ...

the paper tries to present an improved mathematical model for distribution companies (discos) in order to solve distribution network expansion planning (dnep) problems in the presence of certain resources of distributed generations (dgs) entitled small scale gas engines in the medium voltage grids. with the aim of minimizing investment and operation costs, the recommended model combines a compr...

The control of disturbances due to fuel quality variation is important development area in the grate combustion technology. Main challenges in the control of the grate combustion are inhomogeneous fuel, variation in fuel moisture content, non-uniform distribution of fuel on the grate area and high percentage of combustibles in ash. Information on events which occur in the furnace plays an impor...

Generalized Pareto distribution play an important role in reliability, extreme value theory, and other branches of applied probability and statistics. This family of distributions includes exponential distribution, Pareto distribution, and Power distribution. In this paper, we established exact expressions and recurrence relations satisfied by the quotient moments of generalized order statistic...

The knowledge of the reliability of distribution network components is important consideration in the system planning and operation, without such knowledge it could be impossible to conduct meaningful reliability studies on power distribution systems. However, the valid data are expensive to collect. The component reliability performance statistics are not easy to obtain. There is always uncert...

Are required, but the resultant improved system reliability is often worth the price.advantages of the radial system in figure 2 but also gives greater reliability since the. The radial systems shown in figures 5-2 and 5-3 can be expanded by the. The loop system arrangement is one of several arrangements that can allow one. Typical equipment for this arrangement is low voltage power circuit-bre...

Using Micro-Grid (MG) as energy sources changes the reliability of distribution power systems. This paper studies the effects of MG on the reliability of a distribution power system. The method is based on the value-based method for a MG located in Iran. The obtained results show that when the MG capacity changes, then the reliability of the power system varies non-linear. Therefore, the optima...
