The electric vehicle (EV) is considered a premium solution to global warming and various types of pollution. Nonetheless, a key concern is the recharging of EV batteries. Therefore, this study proposes a novel approach that considers the costs of transportation loss, buildup, and substation energy loss and that incorporates harmonic power loss into optimal rapid charging station (RCS) planning....

As it is well known, different Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) may be utilized for collecting field data in any given substation. If substation automation systems are installed, data integration using a substation PC is a relatively easy task. What are the benefits of utilizing the substation data for various purposes remains the subject of a discussion in the industry. Protection and EMS...

Based on Multi-Agent (MA) technology and Artificial Immune (AI) theory, a novel substation fault diagnosis approach is proposed in the paper. The method firstly considers substation fault diagnosis a global complicated problem in uncertainty environment, and decomposes it into several relatively-simple local sub-problems based on ontology concept. Then diagnosis agent is respectively designed f...

this paper develops a model for distribution network expansion planning (dnep) considering reliability issues. with simultaneous switch placement and dnep, the proposed model tries to adequately consider the reliability issues in the planning stage in a way that the designed network has suitable performance from the reliability viewpoint. the reinforcement or installation of mv feeders and hv/m...

With the development of substation automation technology, unmanned substation operation mode has become a trend, at present, many substations to achieve the "remote viewing" function, will be the scene of the substation, the equipment state to video image transmission to the remote control center (set control station). And scheduling center (set control station) on live video equipment to contr...

The paper discusses automated substation data integration and analysis. Recorded data collected from various substation IEDs is stored into a substation data warehouse that utilizes standardized file formats and database interface. The data warehouse allows different software agents to convert raw data to useful information and represents an interface for functional integration of different app...
