In practical situations, distribution network loads are the mixtures of residential, industrial, and commercial types. This paper presents a hybrid optimization algorithm for the optimal placement of shunt capacitor banks in radial distribution networks in the presence of different voltage-dependent load models. The algorithm is based on the combination of Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Binary Part...

Received Feb 4, 2017 Revised Apr 4, 2017 Accepted Apr 18, 2017 DC-DC buck converters are used for battery chargers in many applications including renewable energy sources, inverters, electric vehicles and robots. In this paper a buck converter was built and its controller was developed using peak current control mode for current loop and phase lag for voltage loop. This paper proposes a formula...

distributed generation (dg) sources are becoming more prominent indistribution systems due to the incremental demands for electrical energy. locationsand capacities of dg sources have great impacts on the system losses in adistribution network. this paper presents a study aimed for optimally determiningthe size and location of distributed generation units in distribution systems withdifferent l...

In this paper we systematically derive a linear model for an n bus m machine system with nonlinear voltage dependent loads at the network buses. The model is versatile and can be used to study diierent phenomena such as steady-state stability, voltage stability, etc. In addition to obtaining the system A matrix, we also obtain a transfer function between load voltages/angles and real/reactive p...

microgrids are nowadays used to produce electric energy with more efficiency and advantage. however, the use of microgrids presents some challenges. one of the main problems of the microgrids widely used in electrical power systems is the control of voltage, frequency and load sharing balance among inverter- based distributed generators (dgs) in islanded mode. droop method performance degrades ...

The parallel operation of voltage regulator modules (VRMs) for high-end microprocessors requires a current-sharing (CS) circuit to provide a uniform load distribution among the modules. A good dynamic performance of the CS circuit is very important since the microprocessors present highly dynamic loads to the VRMs. Stability and dynamic performance of the CS control are considered. To assess th...

The Analyses for power systems are more necessary the designing, operating phase execution control and to make sure safe network operations by sufficient protection project settings. In this article, we have prepared a scientific survey about electrical model of 340 MW integrated solar combined cycle system (ISCCS) located in Iraqi southern, is developed simulation program called Electrical Tra...

damping of a full-scale cable with a pair of passive–on magnetorheological (mr) dampers was tested. a cable of 215.58m long with the first mode frequency of 0.658hz was tensioned horizontally in cable prefabrication factory. two mr dampers were attached to the cable in an angle in the plane perpendicularly to the cable axis in 5m length from the cable anchorage. the applied voltage level was 0v...

in conventional direct torque control (dtc), the stator flux is usually kept constant by controlling the x-axis component of the stator voltage in the stator flux reference frame. the torque is then controlled by the y-axis component of stator voltage. in this scenario, the stator current does not exceed its permissible value. however, in the so-called optimal efficiency mode, the induction mot...
