This paper presents a new and useful methodology for simultaneous allocation of sectionalizer switches and distributed energy resources (DERs) considering both reliability and supply security aspects. The proposed algorithm defines the proper locations of sectionalizer switching devices in radial distribution networks considering the effect of DER units in the presented cost function and other ...

The value algorithms of classical function approximation theory have a common drawback: the compute-intensive, poor adaptability, high model and data demanding and the limitation in practical applications. Neural network can calculate the complex relationship between input and output, therefore, neural network has a strong function approximation capability. This paper describes the application ...

We study the problem of analyzing indoor location estimation by statistical radial distribution model. In this study, we suppose the observed distance data between transmitter and receiver as a statistical radial distribution. The proposed method is based on the marginal likelihoods of radial distribution generated by positive distribution among the several transmitter radio sites placed in the...

This paper reports on an efficient method of power flow analysis for solving balanced and unbalanced radial distribution systems. The radial distribution system is modelled as a series of interconnected single feeders. Using Kirchoff’s laws, a set of iterative power flow equations was developed to conduct the power flow studies. Due to the voltage dependency of loads in distribution systems, va...

The reliability of distribution networks is inherently low due to their radial nature, consequently distribution companies (DisCos) usually seek to improve the system reliability indices with the minimum possible investment cost. This can be known as system-oriented reliability planning (SORP). However, there can exist some customers that are not satisfied by their reliability determined by ado...

radiotherapy dose calculations can be evaluated by monte carlo (mc) simulations with acceptable accuracy for dose prediction in complicated treatment plans. in this work, standard, livermore and penelope electromagnetic (em) physics packages of geant4 application for tomographic emission (gate) 6.1 were compared versus monte carlo n-particle extended (mcnpx) 2.6 in simulation of 6 mv photon lin...

Connections of distributed generation (DG) in distribution networks are increasing. These connections of distributed generation cause voltage rise in the distribution network. This paper presents a detail analysis of how does voltage rise on distribution network due to the penetration of distributed generation. This paper also presents how does the voltage rise affect the connection of distribu...
