This paper investigates the joint effect of the interconnected (n,k)-star network topology and Multi-Agent automated control on restoration and reconfiguration of power systems. With the increasing trend in development in Multi-Agent control technologies applied to power system reconfiguration in presence of faulty components or nodes. Fault tolerance is becoming an important challenge in the d...

In this paper, authors present a comparative study of inductive and resistive superconducting fault current limiters (SFCL) from current limitation and power system transient stability point of view. Different types of SFCL can be used to decrease the amplitude of fault current in a power system. The two most used are resistive type (rSFCL) and inductive type (iSFCL). However, no studies have b...

The fault level represents the maximum short circuit current that a power system causes to flow to the point of short circuit. Due to change of network configuration, the fault level at any point of the power system network changes accordingly. It is not practical to apply full short circuit on the system in order to determine the fault level. This paper describes scheme for continuous measurin...

In most highly developed electrical power system, there are several difficulties related from generation to distribution. Usually, power generation is located at remote area from the load center. Long transmission and distribution lines have to be constructed and maintained to meet required reliability, power quality and economic point of views. Reliable, cheap, efficient conductor is required ...

Power systems for data-processing and communication equipment used in mission-critical applications that require high system availability must be implemented with fault-tolerant architectures. Generally, these fault-tolerant power architectures require that the power supplies built into data-processing/communication equipment are capable of operating from two different ac power sources. In this...
