The number of connections of photovoltaic (PV) to distribution network is increasing. Very few PV connection guidelines that distribution system operators (DSOs) can refer to have been found. This paper deals with network planning guidelines for distribution networks with PV. The paper aims to identify planning rules that are relatively easy to implement.

To improve the customer service level, tobacco companies in China use the strategy of direct delivery. But this strategy has a great influence on the local company’s operation cost. In this paper, a distribution planning of the local company is made to decrease the operation cost. The distribution planning includes the location and choice of the distributed centers and the transferring points. ...

This paper presents reliability evaluation techniques which are applied in distribution system planning studies and operation. Reliability of distribution systems is an important issue in power engineering for both utilities and customers. Reliability is a key issue in the design and operation of electric power distribution systems and load. Reliability evaluation of distribution systems has be...

Technology advancement, the drive to reduce environmental pollution and energy security concern, have led toan increase in the use of Distributed Generations (DGs). One of the important aspects of the power system is the optimal operation of distribution networks. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to determine the possiblesolution for optimal operation of distribution networks which tak...

Demand for continuous and reliable power supply has significantly increased, especially in this Industrial Revolution 4.0 era. In regard, adequate planning of electrical systems considering persistent load growth, increased integration distributed generators (DGs), optimal system operation during N-1 contingencies, compliance to the existing constraints are paramount. However, these issues need...

Introduction: In radiation therapy, in order to double-check the dosimetric results of the main treatment planning system (TPS), a distinct TPS, with few capacitances in terms of contouring and a variety of dose calculation algorithms is used. This system has the capability to double check the planification and the accurate prediction of dose distribution in order to be ensured...
