In recent years there has been very extensive use of power electronic devices, which result in harmonic proliferation in the power distribution system. In this paper, as per IEEE C 57.110 standards, procedure to calculate total loss in the distribution transformer under non-linear distortion environment is proposed. The power factor capacitor performance under non-linear load conditions is also...

The time-varying demand and stochastic power generation from renewable distributed generating resources necessitate an exhaustive assessment of distribution feeder parameters for the purpose of longterm planning. This paper proposes a novel formulation of probabilistic load flow for distribution feeders with high penetration of renewable distributed generation. The dependency between the load d...

Message passing libraries for parallel programming like PVM [SGDM94] and the emerging MPI standard [Wal94] are more and more used as programming environments for parallel applications in workstation clusters or distributed memory supercomputers. Simple usage of the programming environment, flexibility of the programming model, and efficiency of implementations are main aspects of the ongoing di...

The reliability of distribution networks is inherently low due to their radial nature, consequently distribution companies (DisCos) usually seek to improve the system reliability indices with the minimum possible investment cost. This can be known as system-oriented reliability planning (SORP). However, there can exist some customers that are not satisfied by their reliability determined by ado...

<span lang="EN-US">Voltage stability represents one of the main issues in electrical power system. Under voltage load shedding (UVLS) has long been regarded as most successful techniques to prevent collapse. However, ordinary schemes do not consider different models and decreasing ‎economic cost that resulted from disconnection, so dual with reactive compensation are needed. Usually loads...

of “Load Management Techniques for Distributed Stream Processing” by Ying Xing, Ph.D., Brown University, May 2006. Distributed and parallel computing environments are becoming inexpensive and commonplace. The availability of large numbers of CPU’s makes it possible to process more data at higher speeds. Stream-processing systems are becoming more important, as broad classes of applications requ...
