Optimal Distributed Generation Planning in Radial Distribution Networks Considering Protection Coordination Limits
Distributed generation (DG) has been widely used in distribution network to reduce the energy losses, improve voltage profile and system reliability, etc. The location and capacity of DG units can influence on probability of protection mal-operation in distribution networks. In this paper, a novel model for DG planning is proposed to find the optimum DG location and sizing in radial distr...
متن کاملMPC-based optimal coordination of variable speed limits to suppress shock waves in freeway traffic
At freeway bottlenecks shock waves may appear. These shock waves result in longer travel times and in sudden, large variations in the speeds of the vehicles, which could lead to unsafe and dangerous situations. Dynamic speed limits can be used to eliminate or at least to reduce the effects of shock waves. However, in order to prevent the occurrence of new shock waves and/or negative impacts on ...
متن کاملDetermining Parameter Limits in Traffic Crash Reconstruction Using Limited Data
Quantities used in crash reconstruction often have inherent variation and a single value is not appropriate. A common way to overcome this deficiency is to use a range. This paper will present a technique, based on sampling statistics, to determine a range in a logical and mathematically consistent fashion. If the parameter in question is normally distributed, then the Student-t and χ2 (chi-squ...
متن کاملFreeway speed limits and traffic fatalities in Washington State.
BACKGROUND In 1987 individual states in the USA were allowed to raise speed limits on rural freeways from 55 to 65 mph. Analyses of the impact of the increased speed limits on highway safety have produced conflicting results. OBJECTIVE To determine if the 1987 speed limit increase on Washington State's rural freeways affected the incidence of fatal crashes or all crashes on rural freeways, or...
متن کاملOptimal Traffic Networks
Inspired by studies on the airports’ network and the physical Internet, we propose a general model of weighted networks via an optimization principle. The topology of the optimal network turns out to be a spanning tree that minimizes a combination of topological and metric quantities. It is characterized by strongly heterogeneous traffic, non-trivial correlations between distance and traffic an...
