CONVINcE is a CELTIC-PLUS project dedicated to minimizing the power consumption in IP-based video distribution networks, from the headend to the terminal. The entire video distribution chain is considered in the project, covering a wide range of entities involved in this process. Examples of these entities are headend, edge cloud, Content Distribution Network (CDN), core backbone network, Radio...

Abstract Optimal power flow (OPF) plays an important role in the secure and economical operation of distribution network. This paper proposes a novel generalized linear‐constrained optimal (GLOPF) model for both radial mesh networks, which iteratively approaches solution to original OPF problem. The first‐order Taylor series approximation method is applied linearize non‐linear non‐convex constr...

The optimal power flow (OPF) problem seeks to control the generation/consumption of generators/loads to optimize certain objectives such as to minimize the generation cost or power loss in the network. It is becoming increasingly important for distribution networks due to the emerging distributed generation and controllable loads. In this paper, we study the OPF problem in distribution networks...

Energy networks should strive for reliability. How can it be assessed, measured, and improved? What are the best trade-offs between investments their worth? The flow-based framework reliability assessment of energy proposed in this paper addresses these questions with a focus on power distribution networks. introduces concept iflows, or interruption flows, which translate analytical evaluation ...
