This paper deals with the voltage stability problem associated with radial distribution networks. Two load models are studied: the full load flow model (FLFM) and the equivalent generic single-line model (EGSLM). Optimization is then carried out to find the optimal capacitor size that minimizes some costing function, and finally several capacitor placement techniques are studied.

A logical link composed of multiple physical links is in extensive use in today’s Internet and its use is growing due to good scalability, reliability and cost-effectiveness. When IP packets are distributed over such physical links, load unbalancing and packet reordering may occur. Since packet reordering degrades TCP performance, a good traffic distribution method must reduce the amount of reo...

This reports the study on the flow behaviour, heat transfer and contamination distribution in a room. For this purpose the 3-D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, energy equation and a mass transfer equation which model the concentration of contamination have been applied. For turbulence simulation the two equation standard k-  turbulence model was employed. By means of SIMPLE algorithm the...

Abstract: Due to an ever-increasing market penetration of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), the charging demand is expected to become a main determinant of the load in future distribution systems. In this paper, we investigate the problem of controlling in-home charging of PHEVs to accomplish peak load shifting while maximizing the revenue of the distribution service provider (DSP) and ...

This paper shows that in order to solve a probabilistic three phase load flow in radial distribution networks, it is necessary to apply effective techniques that take into account their technical constraints. Among these constraints, voltage regulation is one of the principal problems to be addressed in distributed generation. To evaluate the performance of this distribution system, this paper ...

Scheduling based on load balancing is a very big riddle in Cloud computing. Various techniques are available to optimize cloud scheduling so as to effectively utilize the cloud resources and thereby improving the response time of the users. Users on request for resources to execute their job, providers either allocate them a new Virtual Machine (VM) or an ideal existing Virtual Machine or sched...

In this paper, the convergence ability of Distribution Systems Power Flow Algorithms, which are widely used for distribution systems analysis, is compared with different voltage-dependent load models. The convergence ability of methods are also evaluated for different tolerance values, voltage levels, loading conditions and R/X ratios, under the wide range exponents of loads. Results show that ...

The Holomorphic Embedding Load flow Method (HELM) employs analytic continuation of complex functions to calculate the practical (high voltage) load solution and provides promising convergence guarantees. Although HELM has been applied various types power systems, literature not thoroughly investigated three-phase distribution networks with common types/connections. In this paper, we extend ZIP ...
