conventional passive distribution networks are changing to modern active distribution networks which are not radial. conventional load flow methods should be modified for new distribution networks analysis. in modern distribution networks distributed generation (dg) units are embedded with conventional and/or renewable resources. dg units are generally modeled as pv or pq nodes which inject ...

voltage profile and losses are important factors in a distribution network in which there arevariety of ways to improve them. in this paper, distributed generation (dg) is used as a solutionto improve the above characteristics. backward/forward sweep load flow algorithm is used dueto the inefficiency of usual load flow algorithms because of high r/x ratio and their lack ofconvergence in distrib...

a detailed model of wind power station, including double fed induction generator, dfig is presented in this paper. two control mechanisms are included in the model. the inner control system uses stator flux oriented control for the rotor side converter and grid voltage vector control for the grid side converter. the outer control system is used for wind turbine pitch angle. pscad/emtdc is used ...

Fuel cells belong to an avant-garde technology family for a wide variety of applications including micro-power, transportation power, stationary power for buildings and other distributed generation applications. The first objective of this contribution is to find a suitable reduced model of a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC). The derived reduced model is then used to design a state estimator. I...

This paper presents a new islanding detection method based on the difference of the power transfer angle between the distributed generation and local load. After islanding, current id and iq will be changed by adding the variation to d_q transformation block of current. This makes voltage and frequency disturbance and therefore islanding is recognized. Active islanding detection method usually ...
