Optimization of Distribution System Reliability

Estimation of Distribution Algorithm for Optimization of System Reliability

As an important branch of evolutionary algorithms, an Estimation of Distribution Algorithm (EDA) uses some selected individuals to build a probability model to produce offspring by sampling the probability model, which is a process of statistically learning from the selected individuals and then probabilistically sampling the probability model. A redundancy optimization model is given and many ...

Power Distribution Development and Optimization of Hybrid Energy Storage System

In this paper, the development and optimization of Power Distribution Control Strategy (PDCS) have been performed for a Hybrid Energy Storage Systems (HESS) of a Series Hybrid Electric Bus (SHEB). A common PDCS is based on the use of Ultra-Capacitor (UC) pack. A new simple PDCS is developed as a battery based one. For the battery based PDCS, four parameters ar...

Analyzing System Reliability Using Fuzzy Weibull Lifetime Distribution

Investigation of reliability characteristics under fuzzy environments is proposed in this paper. Fuzzy Weibull distribution and lifetimes of components are using it described. Formulas of a fuzzy reliability function, fuzzy hazard function and their α-cut set are presented. Furthermore, the fuzzy functions of series systems and parallel systems are discussed, respectively. Finally, some num...

Reliability Centered Maintenance Optimization of Electric Distribution Systems

MPC Framework for System Reliability Optimization

This work presents a general framework taking into account system and components reliability in a Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithm. The objective is to deal from an availability point of view with a closed-loop system combining a deterministic part related to the system dynamics and a stochastic part related to the system reliability. The main contribution of this work consists in integ...
