This paper presents a novel approach for optimal reconfiguration of radial distribution systems. Optimal reconfiguration involves the selection of the best set of branches to be opened, one each from each loop, such that the resulting radial distribution system gets the desired performance. In this paper an algorithm is proposed based on simple heuristic rules and identified an effective switch...

Are required, but the resultant improved system reliability is often worth the price.advantages of the radial system in figure 2 but also gives greater reliability since the. The radial systems shown in figures 5-2 and 5-3 can be expanded by the. The loop system arrangement is one of several arrangements that can allow one. Typical equipment for this arrangement is low voltage power circuit-bre...

In this work, thermo – elastic analysis for functionally graded thick – walled cylinder with temperature - dependent material properties at steady condition is carried out. The length of cylinder is infinite and loading is consist of internal hydrostatic pressure and temperature gradient. All of physical and mechanical properties expect the Poisson's ratio are considered as multiplied an expone...

Reduction of total losses in distribution system is very essential to improve the overall efficiency of power delivery. This can be achieved by placing the optimal value of capacitors at proper locations in radial distribution systems. The proposed methodology is a fuzzy-genetic approach. The best location of the capacitor is determined using fuzzy set theory and the sizing of the capacitor is ...

The author herein reviews a specific microfluidic behavior exhibited by mixed-solvent solutions in a microspace, coined as the tube radial distribution phenomenon (TRDP). The specific fluidic behavior was observed in the following solution systems: ternary water-hydrophilic/hydrophobic organic solvents, water-surfactant, water-ionic liquid, and fluorous/organic solvents. When the mixed homogene...
