Model-centric Distribution Automation: Capacity, Reliability, and Efficiency

Reliability Improvement of Power Distribution Systems using Advanced Distribution Automation

Towards the complete vision of smarter distribution grid, advanced distribution automation system (ADAS) is one of the major players in this area. In this scope, this paper introduces a generic strategy for cost-effective implementation and evaluation of ADAS. Along with the same line, fault location, isolation and service restoration (FLISR) is one of the most beneficial and desirable applicat...

Reliability Analysis of Distribution Automation on Different Feeders

ISSN 2250 – 1088 | © 2011 Bonfring Abstract--Automating a distribution system is an effective means to provide a more reliable and economical system in the fast growing technological world. This paper delivers into automating a system using twostage restoration (partial automation) and put forward a feeder automation system based on substation automation platform that can be applied to electric...

Analysis of Hypergeometric Distribution Software Reliability Model

Investigating Impacts of Sustainable Repair Time and Circuit Breaker Model on Meshed Distribution Networks Reliability Assessment

Generally, the failure rate and the repair time of system components are constant parameters in reliability assessment of electric distribution systems. A failure of component is resulted from failing in the operation or overloading. In addition, there exist cases where, the repair times of components are small and tolerable from customer point of view. Thus, tolerable repair times may be overl...

Workflow Architecture for Model-Based Development of User-Centric Automation and Assistive Devices

This paper describes an on-going effort in building user-centric automation and assistive devices from workflows. Advantages of this approach include that workflow-based devices and systems are naturally componentized and easily configurable. Models of a new device, user actions and users defined in terms of activities and workflows are executable. We can use them to simulate the device and its...
