This paper presents a new technique for the voltage regulation of a radial medium voltage (MV) distribution grid in presence of distributed generation (DG) units. The proposed technique consists of the coordinated action of on-load tap changer (OLTC) of transformer and reactive power compensation by D-STATCOM. Managing the system voltage using the action of OLTC is one of the most common ways f...

This paper presents an algorithm based on multi-objective approach for network reconfiguration. Multiple objectives are considered for reduction in the system power loss, deviations of the nodes voltage and transformers loading imbalance, while subject to a radial network structure in which all the loads must be energized and no branch current constraint is violated. These three objectives are ...

To minimize power losses, it is important to determine the location and size of local generators to be placed in unbalanced power distribution systems. On account of some inherent features of unbalanced distribution systems, such as radial structure, large number of nodes, a wide range of X/R ratios, the conventional techniques developed for the transmission systems generally fail on the determ...

This paper proposes a Particle Swarm Optimization method for optimal placement of capacitors in radial distribution system. Because of simple design and low cost radial distribution systems are more popular. But in distribution system, when buses moved away from the substation, the voltage drop increases and losses are also high. Lack of reactive power is the reason for voltage drops and high l...

Capacitors in radial/mesh distribution systems are used to supply reactive power to minimize loss and to improve the voltage profile. The appropriate placement of capacitors is also important to ensure that system power losses and total investment capacitor costs are minimal. The capacitor placement problem consists of finding specific sitting and sizing to install capacitor banks in an electri...

This paper presents the Power generation with renewable energy sources is essential in now a days to control the atmospheric pollution and global warming. But interconnection of these sources to the power system brings problem of voltage fluctuation and harmonic distortion. The wind energy conversion system is designed and it is synchronized with a 14-Bus radial distribution system through the ...

Misalignment and unbalance are the major concerns in rotating machinery. When the power supply to any rotating system is cutoff, the system begins to lose the momentum gained during sustained operation and finally comes to rest. The exact time period from when the power is cutoff until the rotor comes to rest is called Coast Down Time. The CDTs for different shaft cutoff speeds were recorded at...
