The overall life of oil-immersed power transformers depends on the long-term life of the oil–paper insulation system throughout continuous operation. Studying the reliability assessment methods for oil–paper insulation can help determine the reliability level of power transformers accurately, and ensure their safe and stable operation. In the present paper, the life of oil–paper insulation is p...

This paper presents a method for assessing the voltage and reactive power control impact on the reliability indices of distribution networks. It has been achieved by including network constraints (voltage drop and feeder loading) in the predictive reliability model. The analytical method has been used to evaluate the reliability indices. The proposed method has been tested and validated, using ...

The increasing development of the use of new energies has led to the widespread use of power electronics, so that electronic power converters play an important role in extracting power from renewable sources. Power electronics can convert raw energy produced from new energy into the desired power with controlled current, voltage and frequency to be used in the power grid. Restructuring of power...

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...
