presence of distributed generation (dg) in electric distribution systems provides an attractive new alternative in capacity expansion planning of these systems. in this paper a new model is developed for solving simultaneous placement of hv/mv substations and dg units as a static planning tool. this model aims to minimize fixed and variable costs of planning. constraints related to dgs, substat...

The prospect of independent ownership for distributed technologies is being encouraged by the current deregulation of the industry, and it is possible that the new generators will be independently operated as well as independently owned. The siting of numerous small-scale generators in distribution feeders is likely to have an impact on the operations and control of the power system, a system d...

This paper proposes a novel consensus-based distributed control algorithm for solving the economic dispatch problem of distributed generators. A legacy central controller can be eliminated in order to avoid a single point of failure, relieve computational burden, maintain data privacy, and support plug-and-play functionalities. The optimal economic dispatch is achieved by allowing the iterative...

The research work done in this paper is directed into two main routes. The first one is evaluating the impact of different conventional and renewable types of generation techniques on distribution systems’ reliability. The second route is developing an appropriate algorithm to model the operation schedules of distributed generators to obtain realistic and applicable reliability analysis for dis...

We consider actions of the free semigroup with two generators on the real line, where the generators act as affine maps, one contracting and one expanding, with distinct fixed points. Then every orbit is dense in a half-line, which leads to the question whether it is, in some sense, uniformly distributed. We present answers to this question for various interpretations of the phrase “uniformly d...

The paper highlights on a new method to solve the network reconfiguration problem. The uncertainty of system loads vary from time to time and makes the distribution system operation and control more complex. Thus for a feeder system power loss is not at its minimum. In this context a methodology to reconfigure the microgrid and also to facilitate its operation in autonomous mode is being discus...

The main objective of this paper is to construct a distributed environment through which the capacitance requirements of self excited induction generators can be monitored and controlled. A single-server/multi-client architecture has been proposed which enables the self excited induction generators to access the remote server at any time, being able with their respective data to get the minimum...
