Reliability Assessment of Distribution Systems in Presence of Microgrids Considering Uncertainty in Generation and Load Demand

The microgrid concept provides attractive solutions for reliability enhancement of power distribution systems. Normally, microgrids contain renewable-energy-based Distributed Generation (DG) units, which their output power varies with different environmental conditions. In addition, load demand usually changes with factors such as hourly and seasonal customer activities. Hence, these issues hav...

Reliability Assessment of Power Generation Systems in Presence of Wind Farms Using Fuzzy Logic Method

A wind farm is a collection of wind turbines built in an area to provide electricity. Wind power is a renewable energy resource and an alternative to non-renewable fossil fuels. In this paper impact of wind farms in power system reliability is investigate and a new procedure for reliability assessment of wind farms in HL1 level is proposed. In proposed procedure, application of Fuzzy – Markov f...

Reliability assessment of power distribution systems using disjoint path-set algorithm

Finding the reliability expression of different substation configurations can help design a distribution system with the best overall reliability. This paper presents a computerized a nd implemented algorithm, based on Disjoint Sum of Product (DSOP) algorithm. The algorithm was synthesized and applied for the first time to the determination of reliability expression of a substation to determine...

Quantitative Reliability Assessment for Mobile Cooperative Systems

This article proposes a systematic approach to statistical testing for cooperative systems consisting of autonomous mobile agents. Based on Coloured Petri Net models of cooperative behaviour, it analyses different sources of randomness and defines an automatic test case generation procedure to derive cooperative scenarios according to a given operational profile. As an example, the approach is ...
