In this paper, a multi-objective reconfiguration problem has been solved simultaneously by a modified ant colony optimization algorithm. Two objective functions, real power loss and energy not supplied index (ENS), were utilized. Multi-objective modified ant colony optimization algorithm has been generated by adding non-dominated sorting technique and changing the pheromone updating rule of ori...

Preliminary notes Dynamic disturbances in the electric power system exert influence on the operation of generators and cause several other disturbances, such as a power swing, resulting in the activation of protections, the stalling of generators and their disconnection from the grid. The application of synchronized measurements in the field of power swing has mainly been focused on a transmiss...

The design and development of a smart monitoring and controlling system for household electrical appliances in real time has been reported in this paper. The system principally monitors electrical parameters of household appliances such as voltage and current and subsequently calculates the power consumed. The novelty of this system is the implementation of the controlling mechanism of applianc...

In this paper, a real-time demodulation of real power oscillations in a three phase electric power system is proposed. It is shown how demodulated real power oscillations can be used to formulate a low order state space model that models power oscillations. The procedure is illustrated on the measurements obtained from three phase Resistor-Inductor-Capacitor (RLC) network where the power oscill...

In this paper, the Static Var Compensator (SVC) has been used to improve dynamic behaviour of power system. To do this, a new objective function is formulated considering power loss reduction, voltage profile improvement and loadability margin decrease. Other contribution of this research is proposing a novel structure for Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm through modifying the initia...
