Advanced automation with zone dividers deployment in distribution networks

چکیده
The driving forces for increasing automation in all distribution network levels are the need to improve the reliability of the power supply for customers and requirement to improve the operational efficiency of the utilities. In addition, the increased deployment of distributed energy resources makes network operations harder to manage. In this scenario, higher level of distribution automation will provide a useful approach for planning and upgrading of distribution networks.

متن کاملHybrid Key pre-distribution scheme for wireless sensor network based on combinatorial design
Key distribution is an important problem in wireless sensor networks where sensor nodesare randomly scattered in adversarial environments.Due to the random deployment of sensors, a list of keys must be pre-distributed to each sensor node before deployment. To establish a secure communication, two nodes must share common key from their key-rings. Otherwise, they can find a key- path in which ens...
