A transmission line fault generates transient high frequency travelling waves (TWs) that propagate through the entire network. The location can be determined by recording instants at which incident arrive various points in In single end-based methods, wave arrival time and its subsequent reflections from point are used to identify location. heavily branched distribution networks, magnitude of t...

In this paper, we propose a methodology for training a new model of artificial neural network called the generalized radial basis function (GRBF) neural network. This model is based on generalized Gaussian distribution, which parametrizes the Gaussian distribution by adding a new parameter t. The generalized radial basis function allows different radial basis functions to be represented by upda...

Network reconfiguration (NR) is one of the most effective methods to reduce line power loss in distribution system, which causes higher losses than other parts system. This paper proposes a modified symbiotic organisms search (MSOS) algorithm solve NR problem. For purpose enhancing effectiveness MSOS, mutualism and parasitism strategies original (SOS) have been create better new solutions. In s...

In the event of a fault isolation process, all loads located downstream from faulted point become out service, and as consequence, power interruption affects greater portion radial distribution system. This paper proposes an optimal Service Restoration (SR) method that entails changing network topology configuration via tie-switch section switch combinations. However, when is performed, it resu...
