Quantifying the seismic risk for electric power distribution systems

Seismic Retrofit for Electric Power Systems

This paper develops a two-stage stochastic program and solution procedure to optimize the selection of seismic retrofit strategies to increase the resilience of electric power systems to earthquake hazards. The model explicitly considers the range of earthquake events that are possible and, for each, an approximation to the distribution of damage that is experienced. This is important because e...

Impacts of Electric Vehicle Charging on Electric Power Distribution Systems

Paladin® Monitoring and Predictive Software for Electric Power Distribution Systems

Electrical power distribution and communication systems are becoming more complex, more compact, and more sensitive to abnormal conditions. A streamlined process for monitoring the health of the system and adjusting to damage or impending failures is needed to reduce reaction time and maintain critical functions. General Atomics and EDSA have integrated the capabilities of a fast system circuit...

Dynamic Planning the Expansion of Electric Energy Distribution Systems Considering Distributed Generation Resources in the Presence of Power Demand Uncertainty

In this paper, a new strategy based on a dynamic (time-based) model is proposed for expansion planning of electrical energy distribution systems, taking into account distributed generation resources and advantage of the techno-economic approach. In addition to optimal placement and capacity, the proposed model is able to determine the timing of installation / reinforcement of expansion options....
