This work investigates the effects of voltage and reactive power constraints on composite system reliability indices. Four indices have been used to assess the sensitivity of load curtailments to voltage and reactive power constraints. Further, expressions to evaluate the sensitivity of the severity indices with respect to the voltage and reactive power constraints have been developed. Extensiv...

In the paper an efficient noniterative method for ranking line outage contingencies in an AC-DC system based on overload and voltage deviation performance indices is developed. The method is based on the calculation of complex line outage current compensations using a coupled AC-DC load flow Jacobian matrix. The proposed method is further extended for the calculation of line outage distribution...

The main objective of the paper is The growing concern for energy saving has increased the usage of LEDbased Street Lights, Electronic Chokes, Compact Fluorescent Lamps, And Inverter-Fed Drives. Hence, the load profile seen by the electrical grid is undergoing a notable change as these devices have to operate from a dc source. Photovoltaic (PV) being a major energy source, the loads can be conn...

A load flow and short circuit fault simulation of AC electrified railway distribution systems is presented with DIgSILENT PowerFactory software. Load flow of electrified railways distribution system with concerning multi train lines and dynamic characteristics of train load is studied for different time laps. The dynamic characteristics of train load in starting and braking conditions with diff...

A novel isolated ac/dc converter topology incorporates a voltage source converter (VSC) with capacitive snubbers and a cycloconverter, connected by a medium frequency transformer. The concept offers the possibility of bilateral power flow as well as three-level pulse width modulation on the ac side. It is shown that by alternately commutating the VSC and the cycloconverter it is possible to ach...

Air-Conditioning (AC) systems are responsible for a considerable portion of the energy consumption in buildings located in high cooling load requiring regions of Iran. In addition, the heat flow through the buildingschr('39') external walls plays a major role in cooling load estimations for the countrychr('39')s hot regions. Therefore, application of insulation materials in external walls has g...

The intelligent charger for vehicle to grid power flow comprises of AC-DC PWM converter and bidirectional converter. During the onpeak load condition,...

In this paper a new and efficient method for the reliable load flow solution of power network branches controlled by flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) is presented. In the various methods proposed in past, the formulations was derived in which the Jacobian matrix is in UDU form, where U is a constant upper triangular matrix depending solely on system topology and D is a block diagonal ma...
