1. Project goals and objectives This project aimed at developing analytical models and methods for assessing the seismic response of electrical substation equipment connected by assemblies of rigid bus (RB) and flexible strap connectors (FSC) or slider connectors (SC). Also developed is a method to estimate the reliability of electrical substation systems subjected to stochastic earthquake load...

With the development of restructured power systems and increase of prices in some hours of day and increase fuel price, demand response programs were noticed more by customers. demand response consists of a series of activities that governments or utilities design to change the amount or time of electric energy consumption, to achieve better social welfare or some times for maximizing the benef...

Due to the fact that automation can significantly improve reliability of substation as well as distribution system, this paper presents a composite reliability assessment model of distribution system which illustrates the impacts of substations automated by various automation configurations on the reliability of primary distribution systems equipped with a specific distribution automation (DA) ...

the reliability of surface electromyographic (semg) variables during swallowing determines the potential usefulness of these measures in swallowing assessment and treatment. this study aimed to establish the reliability of the semg measures of the swallowing function of muscles during different swallowing conditions in healthy young and old volunteers. two groups of volunteers (24 older adults,...

With the development of substation automation technology, unmanned substation operation mode has become a trend, at present, many substations to achieve the "remote viewing" function, will be the scene of the substation, the equipment state to video image transmission to the remote control center (set control station). And scheduling center (set control station) on live video equipment to contr...

Embedded Generation (EG) is a small scale production of power, typically located close to electricity consumers. Technologies used for EG include combined head and power, solar, wind, biomass, and gas. In Ontario, as a result of the Standard Offer Program (SOP), a large amount of EG projects has been proposed to be directly connected to distribution systems in the IESOControlled Grid (ICG). The...
