Reliability evaluation of a large composite generation and transmission system involves extensive and time-consuming calculations. Application of reliability equivalent networks therefore seems necessary in the reliability evaluation of large power systems. An approach is presented to develop an adequacy equivalent of a composite system using network screening. In the proposed method, a power s...

The probability of failure at any major load point is a basic but useful index that should be determined first in the reliability study of generation and transmission systems. There is, however, considerable reluctance by system planners to utilize a single risk index to determine the capacity of generating units and transmission network to convey the energy to the major load points. This paper...

In this paper, an algorithm based on ladder diffusion and ACO [5,6] is proposed to solve the power consumption and transmission routing problems in wireless sensor networks. The proposed ladder diffusion algorithm is employed to route paths for data relay and transmission in wireless sensor networks, reducing both power consumption and processing time to build the routing table and simultaneous...

Nowadays, congestion management is one of the major tasks accomplished by system operators to warrant the operation of transmission system within operating limits. This has resulted in unanticipated congestion interfaces in regional transmission systems. The system is, however, unable to evolve at a rate which is required to meet the quickly changing demand of competitive markets. To make the m...

The variability and uncontrollability of wind power increases the difficulty for a power system operator to implement a wind power system with a high penetration rate. These are more serious factors to consider in small and isolated power systems since the system has small operating reserves and inertia to secure frequency and voltage. Typically, this difficulty can be reduced by interconnectio...

Internet of Things (IoT) technology is one the more advanced network communication technologies at present, and IoT-based power dispatching system can improve operation efficiency system. As number users increases dramatically, higher requirements are put forward for management devices. The authentication method traditional structure no longer adapt to huge clients. For problem insufficient rel...

Under the smart grid environment, demand response resources (DRRs) are introduced as a virtual power plant to enhance power system adequacy. DRRs often fail to reduce their load due to some external factors. In this paper, a reliability model of a DRR is constructed as multi-state conventional generation units, where the probability, frequency of occurrence, and departure rate of each state can...
