This paper presents a multi-objective control strategy for power quality issues. With increasing applications of nonlinear and semi-conductor devices in distribution systems and industries, power-quality (PQ) problems, such as harmonics, neutral current elimination, voltage sag, voltage swell reactive power has become an unavoidable issue. Due to the changing trends and restructuring of power s...

In this paper, Multi-Microgrids (MMG) are considered as future smart distribution grids, in which small scale energy resources (SSER) are main power generation units with small scales. Optimal operation of microgrids in defined intervals is carried out to achieve economic conditions in distribution systems. The defined operating problem is optimized using a heuristic algorithm considering uncer...

The reliability of the electrical distribution system is a contemporary research field due to diverse applications of electricity in everyday life and diverse industries. However a few research papers exist in literature. This paper proposes a methodology for assessing the reliability of 33/11 Kilovolt high-power stations based on average time between failures. The objective of this paper is to...

This article proposes a framework that uses analytical assessment of reliability to guide the expansion planning power distribution systems (PDS) considering criteria. The allows estimation indices with and without execution projects, thus supporting decision-making process on investments in projects. In reliability, failure rates zones restoration times are calculated from past data interrupti...
