The users of power distribution and transmission networks are generally guided to sustain advanced factor (PF) load as it is affecting the loss a feeder network where separately owns major influence on electric charges layout. Therefore, some cautious allotment schemes be incorporated an acceptable satisfying/penalizing policy for advanced/less PF users, independently. Keeping this in view, men...

Due to dynamic nature of loads, total system load is more than its generation capacity that makes relieving of load on the feeders not possible and hence voltage profile of the system will not be improved to the required level. In order to meet required level of load demand, Reconfiguration and DG units are integrated in distribution network to improve voltage profile, to provide reliable and u...

the doubly fed induction generator (dfig) is one of the most popular technologies used in wind power systems. with the growing use of dfigs and increasing power system dependence on them in recent years, protecting of these generators against internal faults is more considered. loss of excitation (loe) event is among the most frequent failures in electric generators. however, loe detection stud...

This paper presents the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm for solving the optimal distribution system reconfiguration problem for power loss minimization. The proposed methodology determines control variable settings, such as the number of shunts to be switched, for real power loss minimization in the transmission system. The problem is formulated as a nonlinear optimization problem. ...
