Evaluation of Reliability Parameters in Micro-grid

Evaluation of the reliability parameters in micro-grids based on renewable energy sources is one of the main problems that are investigated in this paper. Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy, battery as an energy storage system and fuel cell as a backup system are used to provide power to the electrical loads of the micro-grid. Loads in the micro-grid consist of interruptible...

Reliability in grid computing systems

In recent years, grid technology has emerged as an important tool for solving compute-intensive problems within the scientific community and in industry. To further the development and adoption of this technology, researchers and practitioners from different disciplines have collaborated to produce standard specifications for implementing large-scale, interoperable grid systems. The focus of th...

Design of Reliability Insurance Scheme Based on Utility Function for Improvement of Distribution Grid Reliability

The regulatory schemes currently used for reliability improvement have weaknesses in the provision of quality services based on the customers’ perspective. These schemes consider the average of the service as a criterion to incentivize or penalize the distribution system operators (DSOs). On the other hand, most DSOs do not differentiate electricity services at the customer level, due to the st...

Controlling Wind Energy for Utility Grid Reliability

Reliability Analysis of Grid Computing Systems

Grid computing system is different from conventional distributed computing systems by its focus on large-scale resource sharing, where processors and communication have significant influence on grid computing reliability. Most previous research on conventional small-scale distributed systems ignored the communication time and processing time when studying the distributed program reliability, wh...
